the only web browsers that Pixory is known to display properly in are:
Mozilla based browsers on all platforms, and IE 5.5+ on Windows.
IE users strongly encouraged to use IE 6+. Versions before 6 have
many known bugs in handling css
it is not possible to create new albums through the application interface (you have
to create the directory on the filesystem directly)
the only supported image formats are JPG, GIF and PNG
there is only 1 album composer account. The editor space is
global
there is a 90 character limit on captions
bug in Mozilla up to 1.1 (inclusive). You must wait for a page to fully
load before clicking on anything, otherwise Moz becomes very confused.
you must arrange for a domain name yourself. Pixory cannot acquire a domain
name for you. Otherwise, if you have a static ip address you can use that.
You must enter the independently acquired domain name (or ip address) in
the pixory configuration panel. If your ip is assigned dynamically (i.e.
dhcp) you must yourself contract for a dynamic dns service such as dyndns or
dynu
Mac OS X
requires java 1.4.1+
has only been tested on OS X.3 (panther)
Safari does not display Pixory layout properly. Safari exhibits some non-standard
css handling. Users are encouraged to use Mozilla instead.
IE 5.2- does not display the Pixory layout properly because of non-standard
css handling. Users are encouraged to use Mozilla instead.
Pixory can only be run headless on OS X-- java -Djava.awt.headless=true when
running from the command line
Pixory cannot display the metadata for photos that have been imported directly from
the camera into iPhoto. The problem is that QuickTime 6.4 (which is the jpeg creator
for iPhoto 2) embeds Colorsync profiles in the jpegs using a technique which is not
compliant with the ICC color profile embedding standard. The work-around is to
import photos from cameras/scanners using the OS X Image Capture application. In
Image Capture->Options->Download Options *unselect* "Embed Colorsync Profile". Import
your pictures to the filesystem using Image Capture. Then you can import these
files into iPhoto and Pixory will recognize the metadata.
If using Pixory in conjunction with iPhoto, it's a good idea to set the Pixory
"Image Directory" to {your home}/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Albums. It's a bad
idea to scope the Pixory Image Directory to the actual photo directories in
the iPhoto Library, because this might interfere with the operations of iPhoto.
Linux
automatic browser launching (double click on executable jar) does not work on some
linux configurations
