I'm learning the CoreImage in recent days. It is a very powerful, great framework. And I used the Quartz Composer for the first time relating to the learning it though belated. Definitely I've known the Quartz Composer but I'm rejecting it without even having tried. I was enjoying the Quartz Composer on this occasion, and I just liked it very much.

I learn an additional information, I learned the composition file (.qtz file) can be used by own application. Then a nice idea just popped up in my mind. This functionality can be used for image processing for the AutoViewer plug-in. That way the power user who can operate the Quartz Composer can customize image processing.

I changed the design of the AutoViewer plug-in to this way. But also I have to learn a lot of things about Quartz Composer.

There are a lot of requests of plug-in of AutoViewer and TiltViewer for RapidWeaver recently. Of course, I also think that TiltViewer is cool and good-looking, and also the AutoViewer too.
To tell the truth, development is not so difficult if I reuse the source code of the PostcardViewer and the SimpleViwer plug-in.

I want to have improved the function of the resize. Because, current resize method is an old-fashioned technology. therefor resizing speed is slow. To solve this problem, I'm thinking the Core Image technology is good approach. But, I have not so enough skill of the Mac OS X programming. Also English based documentation is another hurdle for me.

There is such a thing, the motivation was withering. However, I've started the learning of the CoreImage technology since last week end, because I can find the good sample I want to do. I've battled of the Core Image since then.
If I can clear this issue, my motivation will be improved. Because even I want the plug-in for AutoViewer and TiltViewer !

On the other hand, I have to exercise for my drum. I need much more free time !

Long time no see.
This site and I'm surviving somehow tentative. However working status has been still a little uncomfortable since last year. Also I'm a little uncomfortable for that reason.
In another side, I really get into a drumming lately, because I purchased the Roland V-Drums. And this summer, I purchased the Gretsch drum set I was dreaming.
Despite this, I have not been playing the drum for these two months, because I have no private time. For that reason, I can not update not only web-site but also my plug-in. ( But this is not to say that I gave up the plug-in development project )

Today, I used the RapidWearver after a long interval. Also I updated it to version 4.1.3. And I checked the SimpleViewer plug-in on the RW4.1.3. because I received a comment which reported that the SimpleView plug-in is not running under RW4.
I can use the SimpleViewer plug-in without any problem.
But I need to update plug-ins... ( also include AutoViewer and TiltViewer )

The big project that had continued since last autumn was completed last week. I can restart the development of the plug-in without the inner stress.
So, I started the development of the new plugin this weekend. However the technology for the Cocoa and the Plug-in nearly went out of my mind. I think it's an inevitable result, because I was using other development environment (the ladder logic programing, yacc, lex, C++, MFC etc.) for 10 month. And also, I don't have much experience about Cocoa programing intrinsically.
I should restart from "How to use of Xcode". However I want to have a great time creating plug-in, because it's not a job.

With this thing and that I'm developing new plug-in.
Which kind of plug-in is this? The top-left image is shown the hint of the new plug-in
(Version up of the existing plug-in will be after that)
