What's New :
v1.21
  • The saving and loading of different configuration files is now supported through the advanced menu.
  • You can now tell PowerNailer to create the thumbnails in selectable sub-directory (this directory must exist).
  • A new overwrite feature allows you to use all the thumbnails in the directory for each page creation cycle, thus disabling the normal incremental approach.
  • Aborting the creation process is now more stable.
  • The PowerNailer preview period has been increased.
v1.20
  • Power Nailer now contains an Advanced section allowing users with good understanding of the HTML language a much broader flexibility in the creation of the HTML code. Every bit of the generated HTML code can now be manipulated and altered to fit your personal needs.
  • Page creation will now begin from "PAGE00001.HTML" rather than "PAGE00000.HTML", and the corresponding internal PAGE replacement HTML Tag will appear according to the file name numbering. This makes old pages created with v1.10 or older incompatible when multi-pages were used, it is advised to recreate all pages, especially for the use of the new internal html speed enhancement listed below.
  • Image dimensions are now placed within the IMG HTML tag to considerably improve page load timing, Especially when progressive JPEG encoding is used.
  • The Base file name is now selectable, allowing you to create "gallery00001.html" rather than the usual "page00001.html" (note: any acceptable file name is usable).
  • You can now define the minimum number of digits used when creating HTML files (i.e. 'PAGE001.HTML' for 3 digits and 'PAGE00001.HTML' for 5 digits).
  • The moving of broken and or corrupt image files into the broken directory is now optional.
  • The configuration file is now called "powernail.cfg" rather than "htmlcat.cfg", you may erase the old configuration file.
  • The special Page tag can now exist more than once within the same line inside the header file.
v1.10
  • The image directory structure was greatly simplified, you no longer need to create the "image" subdirectory. Power Nailer will now search for pictures within the main picture directory. While this is a bit messy, it is simpler, and requires less sub-directory maintenance on servers.
  • Invalid GIF files could on some conditions crash Power Nailer, hopefully this problem has been eliminated.
  • If an invalid image file was the first file Power Nailer attempted to thumbnail, it could cause a "Divide by Zero" error.
  • Fixed a bug where placing two images of the same file name, but with a different format extension would crash Power Nailer.
  • Fixed a bug where the external convertor options were not being saved.
  • You no longer need to specify a full path to the header, footer and directory list files if they exist in the current Power Nailer working directory (but it's always nice to be accurate when pointing to files).
  • Not specifying a picture directory when not using a directory list would crash Power Nailer.
  • When typing the header and footer file location manually, and incorrectly typing a wrong location, Power Nailer would have crashed.
  • The documentation and various html information files are now included in the archive for those of you who prefer to read them offline.
v1.01
  • Version 1.01 removes some of the design-time default settings i forgot to remove in v1.00.
  • Also added, was automatic checking for value validity in all the entre fields. If people were to insert wrong value (like a tile width of 0 pixels) it may have caused a divide by zero error.
v1.00
  • Version 1.00 introduces a new downscaling routine which gives even better scaling quality, it is highly CPU & FPU intensive, but gives out great quality. Read more about it on the online documentation.
  • Power Nailer was added to Tucows, but was only given 3.5 cows, ah well, i guess Power Nailer is a bit of specialized program, and they possibly haven't grasped much of it's use.
v0.99b
  • HTML Power Nailer released.
