I think we must assume that this means the end of Cerious Software. If I hear anything to the contrary, I'll let everyone know. I do not know how much longer the website, the forum and the ftp server will stay up. If there's anything that you'd like to download for future use or reference, I'd recommend that you do so soon.

General Discussion / Bad news about Phillip

« on: 2024-05-16 20:51:20 »

I just learned that the man who gave the world ThumbsPlus, Phillip Crews, is very ill 

Phillip, Cerious Software's founder and 'code poet', is being treated for metastatic cancer. He is too weak and sick to work. I'm afraid this means that there's currently no-one at Cerious to fulfill orders or answer technical support queries.

His daughter Leah has set up a fundraiser to help the family cover healthcare expenses. She explains more about Phillip's situation on the fundraiser page: https://gofund.me/9eba8fee

I would encourage anyone who has enjoyed working with ThumbsPlus, or benefited professionally from doing so, to maybe donate a few bucks if you can afford to.

Let's all hope for the best for Phillip!

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re: Copying or applying all metadata form one image to another

« on: 2024-04-08 11:15:12 »

No, I don't think that can be done with ThumbsPlus.

Apparently XnView can do this (see here), so, maybe have a look at that.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re: Adding Metadata to image

« on: 2024-04-04 15:37:01 »

I see! For what you want, open an image in the viewer/editor, go to 'Image | Stamp' in the menu to open the Stamp dialog. There, to the right of the Text field, click on the '>>' button. Now you can select metadata to stamp onto the image.

To do it in a batch process, go back to the main program and use the batch processing dialog as usual.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re: Adding Metadata to image

I'm looking for a way to embbed (visible) some metadata content onto selected Images.

See "Image | Batch Edit Metadata" in the main menu. This works with JPG, TIFF and PNG images.

FastStone Image Viewer is not a database, but it's a popular and free image browser/viewer/editor/converter. It supports all the common bitmap formats and raw formats, plus HEIC and WEBP (through codecs in Win10/11). Website: https://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

Warner, I have source code to a .BMP plugin that Cerious made available in 2006, I think to help others to make their own plug-ins. Please check if you can download it:

(note: I have updated the link because I found additional information that I have included in the archive as Readme.TXT)
