Hello!
I'm using the Compucarve for doodling and mathematical renderings.
I found the round-trip time and effort between saving a bitmap file, importing it to the Carvewright software, and placing it, to be a bit steep, so I wrote a tool which automatically watches a file and redraws it, in 3d, when it changes.
Now I can edit in photoshop or other program, save it, and see immediately the 3d version of it! When it's looking good and ready, I import it to Carvewright.
I'm attaching a prerelease version of the software here. It's called ShowBoard (for now). It only reads a jpeg (or other image format) and displays it. It never writes a file, or accesses network stuff, &c.
So, I'm curious -- is this of use to anyone but me? (Mac only, I know, I know...) If it were an honor-payment system, would $25 be out of line?
At any rate, please enjoy this early version, bug reports and feature requests most welcome!
Thanks --> David
