I haven't had a chance to try it on an original Pinebook, but my demo at ROUGOL was shown an a Pinebook Pro which uses the same architecture generation (A72) as Pi4.

Message #125339, posted by Bucksboy at 18:26,, in reply to message #125337 I've tried out the new version of PhotoDesk on a Pi 4B: although I haven't given it a comprehensive going-over, it does seem to function as expected.Īs I understand it, XAT did some work to get it running on the Pi 4, and this is the version R-Comp have been sending out as an upgrade for the past 3 months, prior to it appearing on !Store. Message #125337, posted by paintings at 19:38,, in reply to message #125336 This is a shame, as the Pi 4 is much faster than either. So I generally use Photodesk on my Pi 1, or under RPCEmu on Wintel, where on either platform it is rock-solid. I've got the previous 'latest' version - 3.17.14 sometimes it loads to the icon bar, other times it prefers to freeze the machine, and there's no way of telling in advance which Photodesk persona - Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde - is going to turn up. It doesn't sound as if Photodesk's chronic instability (IME) when running on an ARMv8 platform (a Pi 4 in my case) has been addressed. Message #125336, posted by Bucksboy at 17:51, It is very nice to have the software easily available again at a cheaper price and hopefully seeing a new lease of life. The software is now available on !Store for 42 pounds (half its previous price) or a 29 pounds upgrade. It also now only claims the JPEG and PNG filetypes if not already allocated when loaded. Most of the program changes appear to be cosmetic, with the splash screen and InfoBox now updated to mention XAT.Ģ nice tweaks to the actual program are that it no longer saves images to clipboard between sessions. The software will pick up your previous program settings if you install over your old copy. This allows it to setup different default settings, such as allocating more memory to the application. This is no longer designed to run from CD and there are 2 different versions - one for RISC OS 3/4 and one for RISC OS 5. The main change appears to be updates to the installer. As well as the installer program, the zip also contains the manual and some example images. The product has now moved to XAT and the release is being handled by R-Comp on !Store There is a new release of the veteran image package PhotoDesk now available.

We are using two important jQuery plugins: 2D Transform for animating rotations and Shadow Animation for animating the box shadow. You can download the source code of this and experiment with it, there are many more possibilities to discover and integrate. When using the shuffle function, the photos get rotated and spread over the desk randomly. Deleting an image will make it appear as a crumpled paper ball. Clicking to see the next one then, makes the previous one being thrown back to the surface. ![]() ![]() Viewing all photos mirrors the action of collecting all images into a pile and viewing the first one in a none rotated way. Dropping it results in the picture being “thrown back” to the table, in a random rotation. The idea is to have some photos on a surface that can be dragged and dropped, stacked and deleted, each action resembling the real world act.įor example, if we drag a picture, it get’s “picked up” first, making it appear a little bit bigger, since it would be closer to us. In this little experiment we created an interactive photo desk that provides some “realistic” interaction possibilities for the user.
