Control Dashboard and Control Dashboard Pro 1.0 Released
After several months in Beta, Control Dashboard and Control Dashboard Pro 1.0 has been released.
Control Dashboard is an application that can monitor resources, like status of a website, presence of a file, result in file execution or HTTP call and much more. It can also run embedded in an IDE like Android Studio or JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA using the Applet Runner plugin.
Decoration 5.1 released – Layer effects to images
Decoration 5.1 has been released. Decoration is a software to apply multiple effects to images.
This release includes a lot of small improvement in the framework and the possibility to import effects by drag and dropping an image with the effects in the effects list.
🆕AI Tool to Select the Best Images: Directory Crop 1.0ß
AI generated images are often bad, sometimes partially bad/good and a few times good. That’s why people don’t generate one image but multiple images. Then they have the task to select the best images. That where Directory Crop will help. You can easily delete bad files with right click or delete key, or select the part of the image you want to keep. It automatically goes to the next image after delete/crop. You can also navigate the images using the mouse wheel or left/right keys.
All is done to get the best of your images in a minimal time.
