ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) drivers allow connection to many databases out of the box. In Windows and Qt you can use ODBC Plugin (for Qt) to connect to those databases.

Just released Picture Stamper Version 2.0.0. Here is a brief list of changes:
Head to Picture Stamper page to download this latest release.
OpenCV 3.1 was released yesterday and with a first look I noticed that prebuilt libraries for x86 VC10 (MSVC2010) are nowhere to be found in the installation folder. In fact there is no x86 folder to begin with. Some of my recent apps all are built using MSVC2010 so I had to build OpenCV myself. Here is what I did and what I suggest you should do.

Qt includes a very simple method to get the size of the screen (width and height). Here it is:
QSize size = qApp->screens()[0]->size();Note that this function works perfectly in Android and iOS too.
Another thing to note is that if you replace [0] with 1, 2, 3, … you can access other monitors (if there are any) on desktop computers.
If you are learning how to use Windows API (specially Win32 API) in Qt you might have come across a lot of functions which require the usage of Callback Functions. A very well-known example is EnumWindows function. This function allows listing all open windows through a callback function.

They have written a nice review and of course they have proposed some updates that I think I will add and release in the near future. They have also checked it for malwares and of course they have given it a Softpedia 100% clean award. Check it out using the badge below and download it. It’s free, fast and simple 🙂
You might have noticed that trying to read images that have special characters (such as Ü, Ö or other non-Ascii characters) with imread function in OpenCV will lead to crash. I noticed this while trying to open files with special Turkish characters (but I assume it is the same with Spanish, French, German or any other languages.) If you are using Qt, you are lucky because there is a workaround.

I released Picture Stamper officially just moments ago, and for the best possible price, ABSOLUTELY FREE, for anyone who needs a tool such as this. For so long I needed an application to stamp my photos before sharing them on the web but in the end I had no other choice but to write it myself because all options were either too complicated and pricy or they were just not what I needed.

The universe said: I do not have any power over your whirling [,why?]
I answered: It is such a “Point” that made me a compass.
