I've been working on a Mac uploader for a while. I've hit the wall on a few items like album changes and templates but the basic form is there. The feedback on the uploads is still a problem but I'm working on that. I haven't made much progress lately but I thought maybe some feedback would be good. You can pick up the beta here:

It's a beta that expires at the end of April. I'm sure there are bugs and bad behavior so look out. Suggestions welcomed.

I can't get it to launch.

Titanium Powerbook, 1ghz, 1 gig ram, OSX 10.3.8

It opened on mine, DUSB white 12" iBook 500Mhz, 640MB, running 10.3.8 *Server* with DTools, and a LOT of extra perl modules etc installed, maybe you need something else. It was a little slow to open, I didn't do anything with it yet though, busy with other things, will test more later when I need to upload.

Sure wish I could try it, but I just can't get it to launch.

I've used it once already. PowerBook g4, 15", 10.3.7. It basically worked fine and I liked it better. It did have some issues when printing the file name currently being uploaded.

A few cosmetic fixes and I think it will work well.

Just to be clear, you mean when you try to launch it nothing seems to happen. No crash warning or crash long, right ?

Do you know if any other java apps have problems on your Mac ? My PB is similar to yours. The java side of it makes it slow to launch.

I double click the icon. It zooms up, the dock seems to move slightly to allow room for the app in the dock, but then it goes back and nothing happens.

I know nothing about Java apps. How would I recognize one? Activity Monitor?

Still hoping to try out your work of art....


and a question (one of those pain in the butt questions from some ignoramus who knows nothing of what is involved in developing software):

Wouldn't it be cool if the Mac Uploader was a Widget (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dashboard/)?

Apple recently broke Java with one of their security updates. It has created a headache for us, as it broke the uploader (and every other java app basically). If you run Software Update again there should be a Java patch waiting for you that will fix the problems.

Great. Except the file linked expired at the end of April.

I second this motion, it would be very cool. I am testing out some new widgets and they look to be addictive.

I haven't upgraded to Tiger yet, but what benefit would there be to the uploader being a widget? I have no experience with them to know what I would like about them. Time to hit the Apple store...

It would make it a little easier and quicker to upload, not a huge difference, but cool and easy.

I started a new thread, here, (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?p=100674#post100674) to talk about widgets that users like.
