Pixyway picture viewer

Hello guys,

today I'm proud to announce you that I have just released a Windows app that I made these lasts months. As almost all computer projects never see the light of day, I decided that one of my goal will be to publish it publicly.

And today it's done!

pixyway picture viewer for windows - google picasa reborn


A brief history

One of my prefered subject is image computing, photography and all the digital arts. I don't know if you remeber the Google software "Picasa" but I used to loved it for its simplicity and efficiency. Nowadays, Picasa is only a warm memory and is no more availble...

The fact is that all software are transferred to the web :( For some it's justified but for a lot of other I still "don't understand" why... This is not the question of the day, but it made decide to implement a real desktop application that could be replace (even a little bit) my loved Google Picasa app :)

It's how Pixyway viewer is borned !


Pixyway quick description

With Pixyway you can watch your pictures, start a diaporama with background music, but you can also apply some modifications to your pictures. 

It has a nice modern design and I hope, has an EASY to use user interface. I introduced a (new?) WPF control that I called "Action panel". This is a kind of context menu but in my mind , a lot more convenient and easy to use.

The goal of Pixyway viewer, is also to evolve thanks to the user feedbacks! So don't hesitate to try it and tell what you would like to see!

EMGU with Xamarin Forms guide [part 1]

I- Introduction, OpenCV and EMGU Do you know OpenCV ( Open Source Computer Vision Library:  https://opencv.org/ ) ?  This open source library let's you work and play with images and videos with a lot of powerful image processing algorithms !  If you want some details, I suggest you to first navigate to the link above or search for 'OpenCV' on Google.  Examples of OpenCV processing found on the web (filters, object detection, edges...): EMGU is a .NET OpenCV wrapper. That means that you will be able to use OpenCV functionnalities in your .NET projects using C# for instance. EMGU is cross platform, so you will also be able to use it in your Xamarin projects ! That's great because there is no advanced image processing library in Xamarin. In this article, we will talk about EMGU and list the steps to setup a Xamarin Forms project using EMGU . It may help you because, we must say that it's not a trivial task...  II-What do I need to

[Xamarin Forms] Custom bottom bordered entry (iOS & Android)

Custom entry with renderers For my Xamarin Forms project I needed to render an 'Entry' control with a bottom border of a specific color. There are several possibilities but I will show you mine. For that, I used renderers. iOS one is particularly not trivial. The wished result look like that: iOS Renderer [assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(ExtDatePicker), typeof(ExtDatePickerRenderer))] namespace MyCompany.iOS.Renderers { public class ExtDatePickerRenderer : DatePickerRenderer { protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<DatePicker> e) { base.OnElementChanged(e); // Need to connect to Sizechanged event because first render time, Entry has no size (-1). if (e.NewElement != null) e.NewElement.SizeChanged += (obj, args) => { var xamEl = obj as DatePicker; if (xamEl == null) ret

Xamarin.Forms device unique ID...

By
As in a lot of applications, you will probably need to get a unique identifier to identify a unique user . And it becomes a little more complicated when you have to deal with different platforms like Android, iOS and Windows Phone... Here is a simple solution that you can implement in Xamarin Forms that I found on this blog: http://codeworks.it/blog/?p=260 First define a service that you will use in your Xamarin Forms Application: // Your service interface definition public interface IDevice { string GetIdentifier(); } // How you get your service in your app IDevice device = DependencyService.Get (); string deviceIdentifier = device.GetIdentifier(); And here are the implementations for Android / Windows Phone and the most complicated, iOS platform: // WINDOWS PHONE [assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(WinPhoneDevice))] namespace XFUniqueIdentifier.WinPhone { public class WinPhoneDevice : IDevice { public string GetIdentifier() { byte[] myDeviceId = (
