Galapix

Galapix is an image viewer that allows you to directly zoom into large collections of tens of thousand of images from tiny thumbnails down to the images' original size fluently with short load times and no loss of interactivity. It accomplishes this by keeping a tile cache which stores not only thumbnails for one size, but thumbnails of many different sizes.

        Release Notes: This update includes fixes for a bug that caused the application to halt, compile fixes for gcc 4.3, a new random layout function, a random shuffle option, a function to create non-overlapping layouts, smooth transitions for scaled images, and a new tool that allows you to move images around and resize them.

        Release Notes: This initial release contains support for JPEG files and allows you to smoothly zoom into a collection of those files. Up 50,000 files at once should work fine. Support for other file formats is missing and the background loading shows some visible artifacts.
