Hi folks,
I'd like to invite a few people to beta test my first major wxPython app. Its called 'Celebrity Magnet', its an image search engine with a particular talent for find images of people (hence the name). If you are interested in beta testing for me, you can download the current version from the following location...
http://www.willmcgugan.com/cm/cmsetup.exe
Its Windows only for the moment. The only missing functionality is in the register dialog, and I'm still proof reading the docs - so expect typos.
Its taken me about 3 1/2 months to get this far, in just spare time work. I've been amazed at how smoothly and quickly it has come together. I find myself adding features in an hour or two that would have taken me a day or two in C++! And I'm an experienced C++ developer.
Kudos to all the wxWidgets / wxPython developers, particularly Robin of course for creating such an excellent API!
Regards,
Will McGugan
I've looked at the app, nice job!
I guess it will never be open source... BUT would you consider opensourcing a part of it?
Peter.

Yes, it looks nice. I saw no failure in your program
trying outa little.
Too bad, that the source is not available.
I agree with Peter in his suggestion to make
some code opensource.

Glad you like it.
It will be a commercial product, but I do want to contribute back to the wxPython community. I've been impressed by Andrea Gavana's controls, so I'll probably do something similar and contribute a few of the controls I create.
I'm guessing people would be interested in the thumbnail view and a general layout class I used for the big buttons...
Will
You've read my mind
I did drooled a little when I looked at that thumbnail view in comparison with my own... I never spent much time on it since it was not meant for a commercial product so it remained in its ugly but functional state 
If you could contribute that to the wxPython you would make my day
and I will probably try to add to it the functionality I need in my app (zoom in and out, rotation, directory input, copy/move to and from that directory via DND, fullscreen view).
Peter.

Nice Will,
The porn *only* option appears to be absent, did I download the *wrong* version, or is that only available in the registered version?
Also, since it's a long running process, a minimize button would be useful.
My first thought (when I stumbled across some good porn) was to save the picture. But alas right-clicking on the picture did not provide a save feature > :-o
I think *stalker* would may be a more appropriate name 
Professional looking app, Kudos!

Hey, it was hard word writing that adult filter. I had to type all the rude words I could think of. Actualy... that was kida fun.
Also, since it's a long running process, a minimize button would be useful.
There should be a minimize button. Dont you see one?

There is a 'Save to Folder' option that will save images to your hard-drive. Although I think its disabled in the beta because it is stuck in shareware mode.
I think *stalker* would may be a more appropriate name 
Professional looking app, Kudos!
Glad you like it.

You can close the viewer with escape, and use the cursor keys + Return to open another image. Having a shortcut in the viewer is a good idea though, I'll think about it..
Still, I am impressed!!!!!
