Package Exports
- chocolate-bars
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (chocolate-bars) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
🍫 chocolate-bars readme
Present histograms (bars!) of images in a directory, including extras such as exif data from the camera. Star and move favorite images.
Electron based app - so, it runs on node.js.
status - stable
chocolate-bars is stable on Windows (Linux, Mac possible but not tested). Releases follow semantic versioning.
why?
Histograms are useful for finding image defects such as:
- over-exposure
- under-exposure
- low contrast
Also was curious how to implement this in node.js.
Also, I really miss the 'moved starred images' feature of good ole' Picasa
