Jag lyssnade med intresse. Har läst vad du skrivit något år nu så det var kul att få höra dig också.

Jag lämnade x för tre år sedan och även om jag saknade vissa konton så gick det ganska snabbt att ersätta.

Tack för att du gör mig klokare.

I just created my first #collage with the #java based #pixollage. 🍏

$ pixollage-cli --border-color '#333333' --width 1200 --height 900 --out out.png test1

Now it's time to start thinking of the collage format and algorithms.

In order to speed up the development I decided do a separate library with a CLI and for that I use #picocli, a simple yet powerful framework for creating #java command line applications. picocli.info

Cache management is now in place, thanks to #NetBeans "Places". bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/...

Now with most of the plumbing done, including photo import by dialog and drag & drop, lets start doing fun stuff with the photo.

...like building an image cache of thumbnails. 📸

The document life cycle in #pixollage is now hopefully finished. 🤞

#pixollage now has a kind of 'Preview Canvas' that respects the aspect ratio and border color (background color without pictures).

A collage resides in a #netbeans TopComponent/internal window that is part of the Window System API.

I just added a properties dialog in #pixollage.

It's based on the #NetBeans Dialogs API & its GUI Builder Matisse.

Using the #netbeans platform saves me a lot of time. I just started exploring context sensitive menu items (actions) that gets enabled when a collage document is in focus.

It works really well, and it has magic for Save & Save All too.

Thanks, I just noticed that it works when starting the application from a terminal, but not from the NetBeans IDE.
I'll investigate further.
Once again, thanks.
