FotoArchive
Version 2.5.1, release date: January 3, 2003
FotoArchive makes it extremely easy for you to categorize, view and annotate a collection of images at no time. You do not have to remember the location and the file names of your images when you need to work with them. Use FotoArchive to divide your image files into Albums and catalog them using the image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .ICO) itself. No saved thumbnails are used and this can save you valuable disk space.
FotoArchive features 800x600 and 640x480 pixels Viewers with scrollable sides as well as full image viewing capability. You can view a number of your images at the same time on screen in a big thumbnail form without having to save the thumbnails.
With two mouse clicks you can transfer Foto Records from one Album to another, add a number of images to an Album, insert and move images anywhere in the album and change the location of the image files recorded in an Album.
