General Discussion / Bad news about Phillip
« on: Today at 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
« on: 2024-04-04 13:30:29 »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:

Hi Warner, no, I don't know why development seems to have come to a standstill. I worded it like that because programming in general requires focus and inspiration (among other things).
Yes, support for popular new formats like HEIC en WEBP (and new camera raw formats) would be great to have.
The combination of database, file manager and image editor (plus metadata editing, batch editing, slideshows, printing, catalogs, etc) is still rare... there are alternatives, but to my knowledge none that do all of these things.

Thanks for the kind words.
I still hope that one day, Phillip will find the focus and inspiration again to continue work on ThumbsPlus.

Yes, I share those sentiments.. ThumbsPlus has been my go-to software for 90% of my image editing and cataloging needs since 1995, and I've worked with their team (and many, many mutual customers) for 25+ years, when my now defunct little software company represented Cerious in the Netherlands and Belgium. I'll keep on monitoring and managing this forum though, in hopes -however faint- of a miraculous uprising.

Sorry to hear it! I have no idea either. Maybe you can contact Cerious on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ThumbsPlus). Owner and chief developer Phillip Crews is on FB too.
