Photo Captions Editor

This example is a viewer for images stored in computer files. The viewing interface or medium is a web browser.

This example includes a demonstration on how it can be turned into a standalone application using Allegro CL's generate-application facility. A standalone application does not require Allegro CL to be installed and its users do not necessarily even need to be made aware that the application is written in Lisp.

The application allows a wide range of activities:

• View images
• Add captions to folders
• Add captions to images
• Add attributes to images
• Add captions and attributes to images and folders stored on a read-only medium such as a CD-ROM
• Search for folders or images with captions containing a search string
• Search for images with a given set of attributes
• Keep a list of favorite images and folders
• Add new attribute values
• Add a description to each attribute value
• Send an image to an image editor
• Rename or delete folders and images
• Merge updates into a writable copy of a read-only data folder

After extracting the source code to your local machine, please refer to readme.txt in the resulting AddCaps directory.
