Piclens (IE users not invited)

[Trinitrotoluene]

It is rare you will see my posting about firefox plugins anywhere on the web, but I've just found one that is absolute awesome.

www.piclens.com/site/firefox/win/ or
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5579

Depending on what you prefer. Install it, goto google images (also works on Flickr, Smugmug, DeviantArt, Photobucket, Picasa, Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster
Image search on Google, Yahoo, Ask, Live, and AOL)

Hover over a picture (try google images first) and press the play button and be amazed.

This will only work on firefox, so tough luck internet explorer users!

Not to mention the use it could have with Apollo pictures. I'm going to look into getting something together so it can display Apollo pictures.

EDIT: There might be an IE version, but it's not as good!

Hmm, it doesn't seem to support the only image hosting I regularly go to... still, it's quite awesome.

That's pretty impressive for viewing.
Too bad you can't right click on them to download them.

Neat. But when I close the Piclens window, it chews up my screen - it gets doubled and goes all chunky with colour. It looks like a pair of clowns vomited all over it. So, until that gets worked out, no thanks.

I've been using Piclens for a while now and its pretty cool. Never had any problems with it chewing my screen, so Canuck, it might be an issue with your display settings or driver or something like that.

Well, I have a widescreen laptop, and I can't get a resolution setting that isn't widescreen for some reason, so that may have something to do with it. Ah, well.

Update! CoolIris has just released PicLens 1.6.1 with the 3D photo wall, integrated search, etc for IE. Download Piclens from www.piclens.com (it will autodetect your browser)

As for enabling the Apollo photos for PicLens, you need to build a mediaRSS feed and embed a link somewhere in the Apollo html. More details here: dannythorpe.com/2007/12/13/piclens-lite-piclens-publisher/
