TOKYO (MacHouse) – When you try to show pictures with an HTML table on a remote server, a few things can go easily wrong. You probably know relative paths to image files on your remote server, but you can’t really test your html code on your local computer. And you create thumbnails out of actual pictures, and you create them again after making some changes, and again and again. That’s so cumbersome. That’s why I’ve developed Img4Web, which lets you generate HTML code with thumbnails. But there are limitations. For example, it won’t let you generate multiple rows of tables when you have a lot of pictures to show with an HTML table. So what can I do about that? Well, I’ve worked my butt off for the last several days in order to upgrade this more-than-two-year-old application. As a result, I submitted Img4Web 3 to Mac App Store a few hours ago.
