Photo gallery

As of version 2.0, you can now turn a folder of random images to a BoxPress Photo Gallery.

BoxPress now includes the BoxPress Imageport script that lets you import 100s or 1000s of images from the Finder and into Tinderbox for export in seconds! Just select images and the BoxPress Imageport AppleScript script will import them in the order of your selection!

Choose plain, captioned, thumbnails, or thumbnails with caption. Captions are taken automatically from Finder Comments. Using the import Dialog Box, you accept all, or override the files’ Finder Comments with a replacement—singly, entirely, or only for blanks.

It’s better than a normal photo gallery, because of the sidebar and navbar, which can contain nested lists! Your natural Outline Order becomes a popup menu for giving photo presentations.
