Testers Needed (iphoto)

Stash,

Why dont you try what Moby is doing and convert the processing to the gpu instead of the cpu? Plus, this is what Apple really does anyways right?? We dont want to put that much strain on our cpu's when we're just running a simple screensaver. Sure, its nice, but we want our cpu's to last. Use what apple's method is. Put the strain on the gpu, and releave the cpu of all its stress. CPU's are longer lasting, they are the more constant part of our computers. We want to keep them in good condition for as long as we can. The gpu's can always be replaced and are always being replaced. The cpu is the computer. That is why so many people got all excited when moby announced that he we making a dock that supported dx9 and the processing was fully transfered to the gpu. I think you should at least look into it. Maybe you should talk to moby. He should be able to give you some tips. Applying to your screensaver effect shouldn't be much different than applying it to Moby's dock. Look into it.

Well, one think about Nostalgic is that it doesn't do that nice pan effect while it zooms, like in the real one.

Err.. I mean the to use the albums within iPhoto when I click on the "Screensaver" button. So I have to use your own build-in screensaver, right? But what If I don't want to use it? Maybe include an option to select what screensaver the user  want to use?

So long,

I don't see the point, you just have to select the directory of the library in "Normality" (or whatever name it was)!! That's all. I'm not going to code every screensaver available on the net, you see, that would be :

Good point, though I have no idea how it works, i'll try to get into that!

Slows down my Pentium III- 800 /GeForce 2 GTS big time when I run it and then pass the mouse back & forth over the dock. When I run Vital desktop with Nostalgia, only the background slows down while the dock still runs smooth.

Thats weird. I am on a Pentium 2 - 300mghz and nothing I download from Aqua-Soft is slow. This is strange.

Works smoothly and fine, but the two pictures zoom in and out together... I think they should go the other way round (when one zooms in, the other zooms out)

Have a nice day!

So anyway what's happening with iPhoto at the very moment? Haven't heard about Stash releasing it...

Stash, would you be so kind to tell us at least when it will be done? You're doing amazing work and I can't wait to use it! Your alpha pre-release is getting out of fashion
