ImageApp - Java Advanced Imaging GUI 0.8.4 Released

ImageApp - Java Advanced Imaging GUI 0.8.4 Released
---------------------------------------------------------
ImageApp provides a drag and drop environment to create and execute graphs of
JAI operators. Release 0.8.4 includes bug fixes, internationalisation of the
GUI (Romanian, Italian), and a website update.

As well as the installers I have added to the files list a minimal release zip file.
This contains just the binaries, libraries, config files and icons. No help files
are included and the JavaHelp viewer is disabled. I have fixed some issues with
this problem. The source is in a seperate zip file but you will need all the XML
configuration files, libraries and icons to actually build and run the application
yourself. The minimal zip file also contains the ant build files to compile and
build the distributions.

Internationalisation is now built in to the GUI and should be fairly stable. Users
can easily create their own by adding / editing the files in the directory:
$IMAGEAPP_HOME/properties/

If you would like to convert to your countries language (all welcome:), then please

I can give you further instructions. You can see some multi - lingual screenshots
here of the latest version (0.8.4) here:

Currently the GUI has been translated into Spanish (probably very bad spanish
as it was obtained from Systran), French, German, Italian and Romanian. This can be
set through the preferences dialog. The translations are simply in (at the moment)
four properties files with locales added dynamically through xml. So users can
even add there own locales without having to recompile, I will eventually write
a tutorial on how this can be done...

I did eventually fix the bug concerning the arithmetic operators, for some reason in
their XML configuration files the given a dialog but one didn't exist. This meant they
couldn't be added to graphs. You can fix this on version 0.8.3 by editing the file:
$IMAGEAPP_HOME/operatorXML/arithmetic-operators.xml

They currently have the entry <dialog name="BLAH BLAH"/>. Make this an empty element ie/
<dialog/> and the operators will add correctly. I though I'd removed it from the 0.8.3
release but it reared its ugly head again, like a bad smell:(
