Styles
Exhibits can be presented as
a list of text links to images or as thumbnail links
to images. Both text and thumbnails can be presented either in
a "contact sheet" of rows and columns
or in scrolling navigation bars. Navigation bars
can be oriented at the left, top, right or bottom
of the page.

Slide
Show
|

|
|
Images can be presented in
a slide show that can be set with
various transition styles with an
audio background. The slide show
navigation bar can be positioned
at the left, top, right or bottom
of the image.
Audio file types include (but
not limited to): wav, midi, mp3.
|
Properties
Properties
can be set for each exhibit such as, font,
background color or background
image, page layout, drop-shadows
and many more.
Templates
Templates provide the ability
to reuse exhibit styles and properties for new exhibits
or load into existing exhibits. Quixhibit is shipped
with a few basic templates plus any project can
be saved as a template for reuse later.
Captions
and Annotations
|
Captions and annotations are
optional. However, with Quixhibit you
have the ability to add captions and
annotations for each image and folder
in your exhibit.
|
|

|

|
|
The
Caption and annotation area of the main
window can also be floated in a separate
window. This provides a larger viewing
area in the main window for images and
more room for entering annotation text.
|
Spell
Checking
|

|
Quixhibit can check the spelling
in your text including captions,
annotations, title and
footer.
Spell
check can be done for a single page
or for the entire project at once.
|
Cropping
|
Often it's preferable to show only
a portion of an image. With
Quixhibit's crop feature, a
cropped area of the original
image can be used to generate
the images for the
exhibit.
|
|

|

|
Sections
| Image cropping is used to eliminate areas of an image
that are unwanted. The reasons for cropping are varied. Usually it's
to emphasize the main subject. However, one disadvantage with simple copping
is that there may be more than one area of an image that you want to emphasize. With
Quixhibit's image sections feature, multiple selected areas of
an image can be added to an exhibit as separate images.
The
screen shots below show an exhibit that
was generated from only one source image,
a photo of flowered wallpaper.
Seven cropped sections were added to
show details.

|
Rotation
|
Often pictures are taken with the
camera held at a 90-degree angle,
left or right. The images appear
sideways unless they are rotated.
Quixhibit makes it easy to rotate
these images when generating an
exhibit.
|
|

|

|
Sorting
Images can be sorted automatically
or arranged
manually.
If
set to manual, sorting can be done by dragging thumbnails
in the thumbnail view or by dragging the filename
in the tree view.
Exclusion
You may not want some images
included in the exhibit but you
also don't want to remove them
from the source folder. With
Quixhibit, images can be flagged
to be excluded from an exhibit
when it is
generated.
Preview
After
the exhibit has been built, it can be previewed
in your web browser by selecting the Preview
toolbar button or Build | Preview on the
main menu.
FTP
Transfer
|
|
Quixhibit has an integrated
FTP client.
Transfer your image exhibit to a
remote host directly from
Quixhibit.
|
File
Name Re-sequencing
|

|
Use the Re-sequence Filenames
Dialog to rename image files in sequential order.
The images in the source
folders may be a collection of unrelated filenames or may have originally
been in sequential order but some images have been deleted (as is often the
case with digital photography). |
File
Name Set To Lower Case
|
Use
the Lower Case dialog to set all filenames
in the source folder to lower case.
Most web servers use operating systems
where filenames are case sensitive.
E.g. filename.ext is not the
same as FileName.ext because
the case varies. (Windows is not case
sensitive so filename.ext is
the same as FileName.ext).
|
Default
Text
|

|
Default attributes apply only for
new text. Once text is entered,
changing the default attributes in the
Properties dialog does not change existing
text.
Use the Default Text dialog to reset
all text in the selected categories
to their respective default text format
attributes.
|
Quixhibit can
generate exhibits from these file
types:
Quixhibit also
generates the content for image
exhibit or archive CD's with auto-run
files.
