Collections can consist of text, images, sounds & movies which are then combined into a web page solution from a choice of themes.
How does it all work? A CollectionX document is a simple database that collates together the elements of your collection (a photo album, a movie collection, some research, a song list etc.) From this is built a self contained folder containing all the necessary web HTML, Flash or Shockwave movie, XML database and media ready to be uploaded to a web server or automatically uploaded to a .Mac server.
All this is done with a one click publish...

Here are some key features of "CollectionX":
27 themes including 3D picture galleries, image, media & text lists, jukeboxes etc.
Supports images (including jpg, tif, gif etc.), text (.txt, .doc & rtf), QuickTime movies (.mov) and sound clips (.mp3).
iLife integration; easily open iPhoto albums & iTunes playlists.
.Mac publishing.
Customizable color schemes and web options.
Quick and easy to use.
Example collection included (extract from my MakingMusic project, important: the example & database must remain on the CollectionX volume due to media referencing). Check out my site for further examples.

Limitations:
An unregistered version wille xpire after a 7 day evaluation.

What's New:
