Picture Fox

Introduction

Picture Fox is a picture viewing application based on FXRuby¹, which uses
DataMapper² to store its metadata.

It’s (increasingly loosely) based on the PictureBook application from
FXRuby: Creating Lean and Mean GUIs with Ruby, by Lyle Johnson³, and is principly a project for me to learn FXRuby/GUI programming and also to experiment with the new DataMapper gem.

Usage

Install the nessary gems:

  gem install fxruby image_science

And follow the instructions on the DataMapper site to get the latest DM.

Then just run ruby picture_fox.rb
