Way cool!

yes, very cool, thanks for the tip. this will save me hours searching for images in google.

I’ve already enabled it in my website. Useless but fun :stuck_out_tongue:

hehe this is cool :slight_smile: i like this kinda software gadets :slight_smile:

This is indeed cool. I’d use it for my own website if it wasn’t for the fact that you need to download software first :S

cool widget, you can also browse all them local family photos aswell by typing file:///c:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/Desktop in the url field :wink:

huh? where is the url field ?

it’s the browsers main url field, and theres a small blue play button upper upper right corner below the minimize button :wink:

You don’t have to download anything to enable it for your website. You just have to add a rss feed to the meta tags. It’s quite easy.

Useless??? it is wonderful for research. Launch FireFox and pick the blue button in the upper right corner. You have a search box… type in a search word or term and watch it go. Powerful!

I’m not getting the file:///“local location” thing to work.

It opens and says nothing found. I pointed it to a folder directly that had images though in jpg format. Is that what you did?

you can also just drag a directory in it.

But then it still only works in FF. They have an example online and I tried it with IE but it failed horribly (then again, who wants to use IE anyway)

there we go. That worked.

I wish it could look through folders though. Or if it could just work right in Picasa. that would be good.

Hmm, cool for looking at pictures but no way to download them or even see the files name, unless I’ve missed something

From the FAQ:

       **How can I save images viewed in PicLens?**

Naturally, we are working an elegant solution to address this popular feature request. For now, one can save images by jumping to the corresponding web page of the highlighted image, and then using your browser’s save function. To jump to the page, click the small arrow next to the website logo that appears at the top left of the PicLens viewer.
Can I use PicLens to view images on my local hard drive?

Although this functionality is not yet officially supported, there is a little trick you can try if you are using our Firefox version. Drag the file containing your images into your Firefox browser, and then click the PicLens icon located on right of the browser menu bar. This functionality has not been optimized, so viewing desktop images will be much slower than viewing web images.

Cool. Tried it out on a texture directory; doesn’t like numerous large images. It should be good for porn ..erm.. research at least.

I meant adding it to my website was fun but useless :wink:

IF you find an image you are interested in go to the top left… it’ll take you to the site.
