MD+F Marauder 3 is the only enterprise-level image collection tool available for home and small office use. Features of Marauder 3 include: - Support for very large (10,000 to 1+ million) image collections. - Fast search times - Normally under 3 seconds for a sample collection of 80,000 pictures on a 150MHz Pentium. - Quick and efficient methods for examining and categorizing images. - Various display tools such as Browsers, Slideshow, and Choosers. - Advanced search using attributes of image subject (such as color of hair, age group of subject, ...), description, or file names. - Ability to create virtual directories. - Portable, multiplatform database usable under Windows 95, OS/2 Warp, and the upcoming BeOS version. - Support for named drives, devices, and media. Marauder 3 can even display contents of removable media (such as CD-ROM or ZIP disks) which are not currently inserted into the drive! For current MD+F Marauder 3 users, the additional features in version 1.4 are: - Faster description searches. Searching using descriptions is radically faster than previous versions. - New BBS support. You can now import and export BBS description files. BBS description files are available from many Bulletin Boards and are also supported by the latest version of MD+F Blitter 1.4. (MD+F Blitter is free to Marauder 3 owners) - New Web support. Marauder 3 can now take template webpages and create complete web catalogs for you. The generated web catalogs will have the same look and layout as your other pages. For an example of this, please see the "Hubble Space Telescope" example in Marauder 3's online manual. This feature is ideal for individuals or small business wishing to display picture of items on the Internet. - Various enhancements. The new Marauder 3 has received many small enhancements to its interface and search engine and is also compatible with the upcoming PowerPC version of the product. - Very compact code. The new Marauder 3 executable is about 70% of the size of the previous version. Marauder 3 Advanced Image Database is not for everyone. Most users only require basic image cataloging functionality and there are many applications available commercially or bundled with input devices to satisfy their needs. Marauder 3 is for the remaining few. Please download and try to decide if Marauder 3 is right for you.
