Transform the uncontrolled Usenet into cultivated collections
EMMELOORD, THE NETHERLANDS (April 20, 2005) -- Brainchild has released
version 1.5 of Picture Patrol, a program for Windows and Mac OS that
automatically extracts pictures from thousands of articles posted in Usenet
newsgroups. Picture Patrol is made with REALbasic from REAL Software, Inc.
Picture Patrol builds huge collections of free pictures overnight. It uses a
simple interface to replace what once was a time-consuming task with
essentially some settings and a few mouse clicks. Unlike ordinary
newsreaders that require your constant intervention, Picture Patrol
independently downloads articles from your favorite newsgroups, decodes
pictures attached to them and saves these images into the directories you
set, neatly grouped by date and newsgroup.
New features in version 1.5 (also called The Collection Edition) include:
* user-defined collections of newsgroups, to subdivide the vast number of
pictures;
* support for more than one news server, so you can use newsgroups from
several news accounts in your collections;
* automatic group circulation after a number of articles, minutes or
pictures, for some variation if you monitor the download process;
* freedom to choose where each collection will be stored, so you can use
your preferred filing system;
* creation of unique filenames, so that older pictures will not be
overwritten;
* NNTP enhancements, fine-tuning the communication with some less
forgiving news servers;
* better protection against corrupted files, making the program even more
stable than before.
Picture Patrol 1.5 runs under Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003, Mac OS 9 and
Mac OS X. Home users like to create private picture collections with it, but
it's also a popular tool among web designers and graphics artists.
A license for Picture Patrol costs US$19 (including free updates for life)
and is available for immediate online delivery from the product web site
(www.picturepatrol.com).
Picture Patrol 1.5 was created by Brainchild in the Netherlands. It was
formerly known as Picture Patrol Officer.
