• faxviewerpython initialOffering file released: faxView.zip

  No changes, since this is the initial version. Here is the current state of things: 1. Known to work in a simple manner on WinXP machines when set up properly. 2. Can access network folders, but expects (perhaps requires) a Win32 interface (i.e. Samba is currently needed, I think). 3. Has never been tested as a client running on a linux box. This would probably mean altering a few things. Hopefully they would all be in the settings file. 4. Handles multi-page tifs, and tifs of the fax format. 5. Scales the image to fit the window, and allows rotation and adding text with an undo/redo list that lasts until the image is saved. 6. Checks for needed autosave when the application closes. However, it doesn't check that if you close the python runtime application in the background. 7. Tiffcp (and in fact a lot of things, such as the gimp) complain about unknown tags in the fax tiffs. These errors appear in the python runtime window. I don't know what this is about exactly, but it probably has to do with how fax tiffs have oddly-shaped pixels. As far as I've seen, Windows Image Preview is the only thing that shows fax tiffs 'correctly'. Everything else shows them wider than they 'should' be. 8. Because of this weirdness with fax tiffs (type 3 tiffs, or something), I can't read the tiffs directly using PIL; instead I use tiffcp to change their format. Also, the tiffs may be scaled incorrectly. A 'resize' during the load process could hack that back to normality.
