Aqua-Soft Forums@ amnesia, since when we got insanisoft in oxygen-inc network??? You really good in keeping a secret from me aaaa.....
[release] Image-in
it's an excellent app, with the exception of memory usage... i'm not sure why apps like these use so much memory. The other desktop picture app did the same thing. It's using like 10mb for a small image to be displayed. Samurize can do the same at around 2mb. I would love to use this app, it's got wonderful functions and a great idea... but 10mb per pic is way to much...

That's what I was thinking too bubbabyte (hi).
I checked mem usage as well when I first tried it (balked @ 8MB per image), but now I have 3 png's (128x128px² @ 75%) and just checked it and in total (mem+v. mem) is about 4.2MB.
bubbabyte, who is that girl in your sig? she's hottttttt...hmmm....
yep alang, I've provided them with space on Oxygen-Inc. The least I could do for their wonderfull work.
And I haven't been seeing you online alot! (no more messenger?)
her name is krista allen... and yes.. she is hot.
I'll say that again because I'm so friggin amazed by this app: it's outstaning, i love it!!!! :bow: :bow: :bow:
@kikuchiyo: All of the program settings are stored in the "iMage-in.dat" file in the iMage-in program folder. Just copy the entire iMage-in folder to another computer, and make sure the picture files are in the same locations and everything should work.
@bubbabyte: I hear you about the memory issue. The only problem is that the image data has to reside somewhere in memory. Otherwise, how is Windows supposed to know what to draw? 
Also remember that I'm not talking about the compressed data in a PNG file but the *uncompressed* data (so a 1MB PNG will probably expand to at least 2 or 3 megs in memory). If you use smaller image files you'll see better results. Sometimes it also helps to click the Quit button and then reload the program.
@everyone: When the hectic holidays are over, we'll look into adding more features like text with colored labels and different image states. Thanks for all the great comments!
Wonderful App ! It's working nicely on my desktop, and I look forward upcoming features ! (labels and maybe a possibility to avoid desktops icons to be under images)
Good luck and happy christmas !
By far one of the most functional program I ever used.
Thanks for sharing it with us Mad_Mike.
Let me add a suggestion also. I think as a good desktop icon replacement the program would also benefit from a tile/grid/arrange kind of a function. So that the icons are all in line without the user having to move them pixel by pixel. Or something like windows' auto arrange feature that just snaps icons in place.

I second that! We could use it as wallpaper changer! Yeeeeah! (Y) :rule:
And merry Xmas! 
this is a great app ... but in the next release can you add a function to add an image fro the web.
For Example i want on my desk this image 
and a function for refresh the image every x seconds.
Thanx
EDIT: I have created a link to image and i have load into the program but isn't animated because maybe it doesn't accept GIF images
'Nother request: if you pin to desktop and use the show desktop shortcut, the images still are hidden. changable so that they don't when they're pinned?
:rant: i chose a nick for me and my website several years ago... who the hell are u thebypath ??
