What am I missing here? I've attempted to download this in three different browsers, and am unable to do so. When I click the "Download from publisher" link under the picture, the message "Download and open the AIR file to begin the installation" appears, but no file is ever actually downloaded.

I have double-checked the package and it works just fine. It's hosted at www.jpeg.cn so please check if you can access my home page.

I really like this app and it's great from taking my designer's mock-ups and transfering to flash/html.
I do wish that you could type in what dimentions you need and the frame could resize. That would be a handy addition to this already great tool!
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I will add the feature to click and enter a dimension right at the title bar in the future. Right now, please add a Preset in Preferences pane and apply it.

Hello, JPEG Interactive!
Looks like the very tool I need, but I'm cautious about downloading it because of your system requirements notes. I run five or six AIR "applications" without any difficulty, but I must be selective since I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) and using Safari 4.0.2 (4530.19).
Any thoughts on this? Is it worth the risk to my system?
Thanks for any feedback :-)

I have only tested on Leopard but I think since you can run AIR 1.5, you have the power. And such a shiny little app as Pixus with no system-layer feature will never do any harm. It's dare!! So enjoy it:)

Thanks, works great on Ubuntu - but sometimes I get a dark-grey transparent background picture, which I don't think should be seen.

Thanks Vadim for your comment. I have never experienced Linux before and I am having problem even installing Flash Player on Ubuntu. I need some time but I will make Pixus work on every AIR compatible platform.

I love the look of this application, and the promise is definitely there. It does have some shortcomings though. The biggest is the fact that it won't drag to my second monitor in a dual-monitor setup. That really cuts the usefulness of the app for me. Nice work and well worth having anyhow!

Thanks for the suggestion. Multi-monitor support is within my near schedule.

Just downloaded Release 78 and it does have ability to move to second monitor (use the 4-arrow icon.) Very cool little application which I believe will be very useful. Thanks, jpeg.

Choosing say 800x600 with IE skin wraps the IE skin around the 800x600 area, which leads to false measurement, as such resolution does includes the IE window, thus reducing the content area in real life.

Great little app! As a multi-media developer, I find that it greatly saves time, and is easy to use.
It might be cool if there was an option to use the window to zoom in.
Anyway, thanks!

Most people are taking screenshots to measure the sizes. While Pixus can do the other job. I realized lately why not combine both. Thanks for your idea!
