The FREEIMAGE Project:
Interesting...
"FreeImage is an Open Source library project for developers who would like to support popular graphics image formats like PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF and others as needed by today's multimedia applications. The library comes in two versions: a binary distribution that can be linked against any 32-bit C/C++ compiler and a source distribution. Workspace files for Microsoft Visual C++ 6 are provided, as well as makefiles for Linux."
TECA ImageTransferPlus - A BLOB transfer program for SQL Server or Oracle
For those of us putting LOB's, CLOB's and BLOB's in our SQL DB's this is pretty cool looking...
"ImageTransferPlus is a fully graphical import-and-export utility that makes it easy to add Text/XML and BLOB (Binary Large Objects) data to your SQL SERVER or ORACLE database. Eliminating the need to write custom file import and export programs, ImageTransferPlus is the fastest and most efficient binary data transfer mechanism for SQL SERVER or ORACLE available. ImageTransferPlus is able to import and export any PC file type to and from an Image or Text column. This allows graphic, audio, video and other application files be easily stored and retrieved from a SQL SERVER or ORACLE database. ImageTransferPlus can be used to transfer virtually any PC file including:
- XML files (.htm, .xml, .xsd, .html, .plg)
- Image files (.bmp, .gif, .pcx, .tif, .jpeg)
- Audio files (.wav, .mp3, .wmf)
- Executable files (.exe, .dll, .ocx)
- Application files (.zip, .doc, .xls, .ppt)
- Text files (.txt, .csv)"
Sysinternals Freeware - Utilities for Windows NT and Windows 2000 - Process Explorer
I know I've posted this utility before (or at least stuff by SysInternal), but I have to post it again... Damn those guys are GOOD!
Their Process Explorer just helped my save my sanity...
"Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you’ll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you’ll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.
The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work. "
