Ginipic is an image search engine for the web, desktop

You can also use Ginipic to search for photos on your desktop. By default it will search your My Pictures folder in the My Documents area, but you can choose any directory to search. When you click on an image in the search results a preview window shows up to show the image. From this window you can email the image, copy it, set it as your Windows desktop background, save the image, or mark it as a favorite. You can also see it in the original context, which means Ginipic will open the web page or desktop folder where the image was originally found.
Ginipic can be docked to the side of your display or you can minimize the application or set it to float like any other Windows program. You can also maximize the program to view a wall of images.

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

Wow! Looks gorgeous! Requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, by the way, and this would be the first time for me the framework 3.5 gets helpful :)

It took me some time to deliver my impressions (our President Sarkozy was on an important TV interview), but here goes...
1- Cool install (I already had .NET FW 3.5 SP1) ;
2- A bit long to start (30 seconds but I have a 1.6 GHZ Duron) ;
3- If you loke pictures, images, photography like I do, hold on : this is Nirvana. Ginipic may be long to start, but it retrieves pics very quickly, and it removes automatically duplicates! Choose your search engine, or select them all, or search on your own local drive : it finds everything, blasting fast!
4- The GUI... try it and tell me if perfection is the wrong word!
5- What I miss : a filter, in particular for picture dimensions.
This is a keep, ladies & gentlemen!!!

Any similar app for Mac? I'm installing it right now (.NET is taking forever of course) and can't wait to use this. But would really love something similar for my mac.
