In short, you point it +at your news server, select a group, and it scans the available (and not +previously scanned) posts for UUencoded or MIME base64-encoded binaries +(e.g. a JPEG image). When a binary is found, it is automatically decoded +back to its original form. If desired, PicMonger can also create thumbnail +preview pages, viewable in any web browser. + +Features: +* Intuitive GUI design +* Automatic customizable HTML thumbnail preview page generation +* Thumbnails maintain same aspect ratio as the original, within a size + constraint specified by the user +* Inter-session group memory (resumes scanning a newsgroup where you left off) +* Inter-session options memory (remembers all of your customized settings) +* GUI-based mangement of server and newsgroup lists +* Fixes filenames to be ext2fs (Linux/Unix) friendly before they are written +* Screens files and decodes only the file types you select +* Easy installation (uses GNU autoconf/automake) +* Error logging for easy troubleshooting (rarely an issue) +* Distributed under the GNU GPL + +WWW: http://PicMonger.sourceforge.net/ + +[ This port is maintained by Donald Burr <dburr@FreeBSD.ORG> ] |
