Douglas Bullard's Nurflugel Picture Browser
There are two ways to install this:
- Install using Install Anywhere
- Pros:
- Works with any OS - Linux, Windows, Mac OSX
- Easy, 2-3 mouse click installation
- Cons:
- Doesn't update itself
- Large download for each release (16 Mb)
- Procedure
- Click on this link
- If you have Java enabled on your browser, you can install by just clicking on the button.
- If you don't have Java installed, download the installer by choosing the proper version (Mac, Windows, etc) and open the installer.
- Install using Java WebStart
- Pros:
- Install once
- Updates automatically to get the current version
- Very small downloads for updating (typically <100Kb)
- Updates WebStart automatically
- Updates the Java version automatically
- Less initial download time - 14Mb of data vs. 16Mb
- Cons:
- More complicated install (just more dialogs asking confirmation)
- Installation using Webstart:
- Download Java Web Start first! (Windows users only - Macs have this already installed in OSX)
- accept all dialogs, ignore the warning that you may have to reboot your system - you don't.
- Launch the PictureBrowser application
- Accept all dialogs.
- If it asks to load a newer version of Java or WebStart, say "yes".
- Ignore the warnings about installing software on your system. I'm using the free version of
Sun's WebStart architecture, and the cost of that is annoying dialogs like this for the users.
- Launch it twice from this web page and it'll install icons on to your desktop. You won't have to visit this site again to run the appliation after that.
- You'll always have the most up-to-date version
- You'll never have to reinstall or upgrade!
- You don't need to be connected to the Internet to use the application, but if you are connected, it will update itself if necessary (typically only 100K or so - a few seconds even at modem speed).
