iPhotoToGallery-0.60, Gallery2!
Hi everybody,
Important: It turns out there’s a problem exporting to Gallery version 1.5 with this version of the plugin. I’ll try to get it fixed today. If you’re not using 1.5, go ahead and try upgrade to this one.
Gallery 2: iPhotoToGallery now exports to Gallery 2, beta 3. Right now the API it’s using to talk to G2 is kind of weak, so some things don’t work (like photo descriptions). I’m working closely with the developer who is writing the new, much more powerful API, and when that’s released with G2 iPhotoToGallery will support it as well. At that time we’ll be able to do some much cooler things, possibly even some sort of syncing.
You don’t need to do anything special for G2 galleries. The plugin will auto-detect which kind you have when it logs in. And speaking of logging in, you can now cancel logging in if your server is down or something and it’s taking forever.
Growl: I was also informed that all the cool kids are adding Growl notifications, so I did that as well. Growl users, rejoice.
“Finishing…”: I replaced the standard progress dialog with my own. That should get rid of the never-ending “Finishing…” bug that still pops up. The progress dialog contains some extra eye-candy for you Tiger users as well.
Source?: Yes, I will finally be open sourcing my code. It’ll take a few days to clean and package it up, as it’s kind of a mess right now.
Donations: Lots of you have asked if you can donate to help development. Sure! Just go here.
As always, please let me know about bugs at gallery@zwily.com.
