Moving and e-mailing files

[Happyrever]

As many users know, many e-mail services reject files with .exe or .dll etc in the name, even if zipped.
Yes, I know you can rename the file, but perhaps the sender or receiver cannot manage that.

I put together a simple utility using LiveCode to make e-mailing files very simple. It can also create the folder structure for the files to go into, like a simple installer. It is called ePACK

It is freely available to download at http://ajperks.co.uk/

If you or anyone else you know is interested in photography, then ePics may be of interest. This is a simple Photo Album that simulates the paper variety with the advantage it is simple to use and provides a variety of templates for presentation. It is also free.
NB the .pdf feature does not work yet because of an acknowledged bug and I am still waiting for LiveCode to fix it. Printing to an external pdf or xpf or paper works fine. It also produces the pages of the album as a .jpg for viewing on tv

My thanks go to all the experts who have helped me on the forum.

Kind regards to you all.

Please let me know if you think it is useful and any features you might like added.

ePics seems quite interesting. I did have a problem with the first install as the application didn't open, but kept giving me a error that it is not win32 file, this was fixed by re-downloading. Also I find it quite annoying that closing the application by clicking the right top of the window is disabled, is this done automatically by livecode?

Sorry to hear you had a problem with the download. It was because the executable was not able to find the external file it needed when run immediately from the installer. I have noticed that other software needing externals can exhibit this problem. Running the executable from the folder or from a shortcut presents no such problem.
I have modified the installer so it no longer runs the ePics, but directs the user to run it themselves. Not what I wanted, but I need time to find a better way.

The reason why the exit button HAS to be used and not the red X is so that the "work folder" can be compressed as the AlbumName.alb file and then deleted. Depending what you do, some items in the "work folder" are not required and so to reduce the AlbumName.alb file size for e-mailing they are not included in the AlbumName.alb
You cannot do this if you just click the red X.
It is still the same number of clicks!! if you click exit or the red X
If the file save was done as each picture was introduced, that would greatly slow the program, because photos are large files. The regeneration delay of the initial photo after the drop is far from my liking, for this reason, but so I have been told by Forum experts, this is a livecode issue.
Your comments are appreciated and I do agree with you about the red X issue, but I have no ideas around the problem.
