Known limitations
Pixory 0.5.3
01/18/2005
All Platforms
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
