Hi Noah!
Thank you for sharing this program.
Two remarks!
First of all this is not a binary group. Please put executables and
pictures etc. ind the according groups. For this I would choose
binaries.utilities! Just leave a note here so that know it's there and
so that we can find it.
Second, if you put an executable here please say for which OS it is
meant. I guess it's for Windows put I don't know it. There are a lot of
people here like me you don't use M$ OS if they can avoid it and would
like to avoid to download a programm not suitable for their OS.
But as I said, Thanks for sharing this programm with us, also thanks to
your friend. Your efforts are highly regarded.
All the Best,
Marc

I'll add to that the obvious. Put a *.exe into a *.zip or other archive
so it may be scanned. I'm not sure how many people are going to want to
d/l this executable as is. I'm not, sorry.

Not to dampen your enthusiasm but a 400k binary to simply choose a color
seems a bet excessive. There is a color picker utility in the
povray.binaries.utilities group already that pops up the standard windows
color selection window and will past the standard <0.000,0.000,0.000>
statement like your does and has a file size of less than 80k. There are
also two other utilities I know of available you can find in my links
collection that also do the same thing and each of these are also much
less than the file size I see posted here. The color picker I use is the
one posted in the binaries group and I find a use for it on occassion when
I have trouble finding just the right hue of shade of that pesky color
I am working. For that reason I would say that these are useful thing to
have accessable when added to the tools menu in the windows version of Pov.

Thanks for that, I blindly pick up these newsgroups with my email evey day,
and have to pay for my time online, I only get one binaries group, and thats
the images one.
PLEASE in future post to the correct group, second zip the file up, and
finally try to make your subject line a bit more descrrptive.
apart from that, isnt 400k a bit of overkill for a color picker?

That's what I thought... it's because it uses the new windows Slider control
which has to be imbedded. Had the normal Scrollbar control been used the
file size would be significantly less. Personally I was disappointed that
it didn't allow HEX and RGB color exports (not that it would be difficult to
impliment this... I already have a program that I made that does this).

I can't believe you lot. Someone spends time on creating a useful utility,
and all you can do is whinge about how large it is, how it doesn't have this
and that.... Granted it was posted incorrectly, but that aside I thank the
author for the program, I have it installed in my tools menu, and shall
continue to use it regularly.

Agreed.
First I think it is a stupid thing to post this to a non-binaries group, second
it might have been better to zip it up (how large would the file be then). But
what Andrew says here is something I've noticed too. When it's about images
everybody tries to be kind, but with this utility it's a sour shower. I guess
that's because the attachment was wrong as attachment.
I wouldn't dare post any of my redundant non-utilities here, no sir (nor
anywhere else ;-) ).

Even Homer nods! Ken missed one:
http://home.hiwaay.net/~crispen/src/#ColorPicker
I reverse engineered the one in the binaries group. It's VRMLized
(doesn't have the angle brackets or the word color or the commas)
but that's easy enough to fix, because I also include the source!
Just change one sprintf() statement. 7386 bytes zipped, source, icon,
rcfile, makefile, and executable. It only uses kernel32.dll,
user32.dll, comdlg32.dll, and crtdll.dll. The makefile is set up
for lcc, but I'll bet it'll compile on Cygwin and MSVC++ without
much of a hassle.

I was just annoyed that i was forced to download the file, as p.g is one of
the NG's i let my mail program pick up all new messages when i get me
regular email. I did not appreciate a 400k download i didnt have to make, i
have to pay for my time online, and the less i spend online during the week
make a BIG difference to my phone bill.
I leave to bin NG's (excapt bin images) to the weekend when its cheaper.
> I wouldn't dare post any of my redundant non-utilities here, no sir (nor

seriously, zip em and stick em in the bin.utils group, no problems

What would be a nice feature is that if it had some sort of preview ability.
What I mean by that is something like a sphere on a colored background where
you can judge the effects of the color change. A real nice addition would be
the addition of filter and transmit values to the selection controls.
Something to think about anyway.

Is it better than this?

And cme seems to take only 12 kilobytes (at least in this sparc).

It looks interesting. When can I see the win executable ?

I also have to pay my phonebill, so, as I said, I'm not very happy (to say the
least) about these huge chunks either. It's a problem for all the groups, also
the binaries groups where you'll often find attachments that are way to large. I
think executables should be zipped or packed in some way or another anyway, but
an even better way for such files larger then, say, 100 or 200K is to put them
on a web-page and post the link. You already know there's a large group that
can't use it anyway (platform).
I just thought Andrew had a point too...

Thankyou Remco. I too pay for my phone calls, and automatically download
messages in povray.general. I was unaware that 400k was excessively large
for such a program, as I'm not a programmer and have no wish to be one. I
was quite happy. 400k's not a huge download anyway. 4Meg..now that would
have annoyed me :-)

This indicates more or less what I think is the problem of such a program:
colour as defined in a POV-source file is absolute, in the rendered image it is
not. A colored sphere will look different on different backgrounds, with
different types of lighting and with all sorts of other settings that may vary
(radiosity), even though the defined colour is the same.
Of course it would be nice to have a preview in which you can set a few of these
things (transmit/filter against a coloured background). By saying that it may be
a bit problematic I don't mean you shouldn't (try to) do it. Actually I think
the transmit/filter-thing you suggest here is really worth thinking over.

Remco
