Sort your images by color, size, or name with ImageSorter

by Brad Linder Dec 21st 2007

Ever wish you could easily view your entire photo gallery at a glance? Yeah, neither did we. It turns out that if you've got a few thousand images sitting in a folder, the only way to see them all at once is by using extraordinarily tiny thumbnails.

But if that's the sort of thing you're inclined to do, ImageSorter provides a way to shrink your entire photo collection to something that will fit on one screen. Fortunately, that's not all that ImageSorter does. The application also lets you sort your images by name, size, or date last modified. Probably the most impressive feature is the ability to sort your images by color and then visualize all of your photos on a plane or in a sphere.

You can zoom in as tight as you like to see your images up close and personal. And you can double click on an image to bring up a separate image viewer. We can't say that ImageSorter is anywhere near Picasa's league when it comes to image management software. But it's a neat toy that can provide literally seconds, maybe even minutes of distraction.

Organizing images is kind of a pain, because I can't simply drag-drop them to another folder. (Drag moves the canvas, understandably. Cut/copy don't work on groups of images.) The only way is to use the context menu, which opens up a directory tree, which doesn't remember the last folder.

One other bug. If I do 2 or 3 moves in a row (2 or 3 groups of files), I sometimes get an error saying, "Moving failed for 24 files... Possible reason: destination files exist." It's as if it keeps previously-moved files selected, and tries to move them again, perhaps.

I sent my feedback via e-mail as well.

This is *really* cool! Nice job!

I did find one JPG image that causes it to crash. It's 5x800 (width x height), 5.3 KB in size, fades from black (top) to blue (bottom). The crash is a simple "Runtime error!". I am on WinXP SP2. (When I re-launch the EXE, it tries to load the previous folder again, and crashes immediately again.)

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
