Used Software

The following software packages/libraries/resources were fundamental in making Album Shaper possible:

• The Qt toolkit and all available sourcecode, tutorials and examples
• RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm, used to determine when images must be reloaded and scaled
• libxslt is used to update older Album Shaper xml files, as well as to provide theme support. All html and resources are generated using xslt themes! Write one today and extend the capabilities of Album Shaper!
• The Independent JPEG Group, example code for determining JPEG image sizes, resizing images, and lossless rotation and flipping transformations.
• Andreas Huggel's Exiv2 library is used for Exif metadata read/write support.
• Mosfet's Pixie source code was very helpful when learning Qt programming.
• The Xine web site helped get me up to speed with CSS when creating this web site.
