PicMonger is an automated NNTP (Usenet News) client. In short, you point it
|
|
at your news server, select a group, and it scans the available (and not
|
|
previously scanned) posts for UUencoded or MIME base64-encoded binaries
|
|
(e.g. a JPEG image). When a binary is found, it is automatically decoded
|
|
back to its original form. If desired, PicMonger can also create thumbnail
|
|
preview pages, viewable in any web browser.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Intuitive GUI design
|
|
* Automatic customizable HTML thumbnail preview page generation
|
|
* Thumbnails maintain same aspect ratio as the original, within a size
|
|
constraint specified by the user
|
|
* Inter-session group memory (resumes scanning a newsgroup where you left off)
|
|
* Inter-session options memory (remembers all of your customized settings)
|
|
* GUI-based mangement of server and newsgroup lists
|
|
* Fixes filenames to be ext2fs (Linux/Unix) friendly before they are written
|
|
* Screens files and decodes only the file types you select
|
|
* Easy installation (uses GNU autoconf/automake)
|
|
* Error logging for easy troubleshooting (rarely an issue)
|
|
* Distributed under the GNU GPL
