Mike Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) The windows version comes in 2 "different" versions, one portable and one via a standard installer. The only difference is where the data is stored. For those of you who haven't seen the app before, some features: Account support Screenshot taking - Either custom draw rectangle, full screen or window selection mode (now saves transparency!) Uploads directories as a zip file to make sharing directories with people easy Allows you to queue uploads so you can drop any number of files and leave it to do its work Can run in the sys tray - After setting some files to upload, you can minimise it to the sys tray Toast notifications - when a file has uploaded (or when it fails) a toast notification will be shown to inform you No forced settings - the tray icon, toast notifications, always on top status etc can be turned on/off in the settings window (click the i bottom left) Self updating - both portable/installer versions check for an updated version when you start the program and can automatically download it, update and re-run the main app after updating Download Links: Latest installable version Latest portable version Links: Main site: http://localhostruploadr.com Report bugs / feedback: http://localhostruploadr.com/support/feedback/ Feel free to spread the main site link to get as many people using as possible, I'd prefer it if you only linked to the main site and not the download links directly. Finally, thanks to mail for the design and to anyone who helped with bug finding / vista testing (Y) Edited July 23, 2009 by Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mail Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I might have delayed the app a bit demanding pixel perfect representation. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted September 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2008 As I said in the sig/av thread good work guys the site is awesome and this is a big help to uploading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
former1 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Actually here's a request :p a screenshot taking part of the app, where you can define where to take a screenshot of. Don't know why I never suggested it before :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Actually here's a request :p a screenshot taking part of the app, where you can define where to take a screenshot of. Don't know why I never suggested it before :p pretty sure you've already told me about that, i know someone else asked for it. current stance is: it'll be added but i'm not sure if to do it like the snipping tool in vista, or a simple 'upload contents of clipboard' feature. i'll add it to the bugs part of the site though.

Simon Veteran Posted September 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 8, 2008 Quick status on the OS X widget, too: I've spent the summer learning Objective-C, meaning I can probably add some features to bring the OS X widget up to the same featureset as the Windows one. When I get around to that, it wil alsol be rebranded as the Localhostr Uploadr for OS X. These widgets are a joint project by Mike, mail, and I, and the hope is that in the future we will keep them consistent. Hopefully I'll get my widget closer to the pixel-perfect one mail wants, as well :p So, just to be clear, the features not included in OS X, but that are in the Windows version: Folder zipping and uploading Progress bar Thumbnails (removed previously due to problems on localhostr's end, planned to be reintroduced) All of these should be in the next widget, along with some cleanup of the code and improved graphics.

skelly831 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Working great so far with my account, beautiful UI and very intuitive functionality :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2008 yay, released! Taking advantage of the DWM blur really was a good idea :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 yay, released!Taking advantage of the DWM blur really was a good idea :p yup i've been thinking of emulating it so it works on the xp "version" too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2008 yup i've been thinking of emulating it so it works on the xp "version" too Taking a capture of what's behind the window then doing a blur on it? Unless you've got a very fast method, you're going to have visual issues if you do it that way (Your window will move faster than you can update the blur) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Taking a capture of what's behind the window then doing a blur on it?Unless you've got a very fast method, you're going to have visual issues if you do it that way (Your window will move faster than you can update the blur) if i was to do it, i'd probably only update when the window has stopped moving. there are more problems than the speed of it. For one there is actually getting the data that's behind the window and then there is a reliable way of knowing when the blur needs changing, won't only be when my window is moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_over Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 what is the domain list that localhostr uploads to? it appeared to be blocked at my workplace, so i whitelisted the following: localhostr.com *.localhostr.com the site works, but when i try to upload i recieve security errors... so i'm guessing something is still blocked. it works fine at home on the same notebook.

Mike Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 It's probably the update check which uses localhostruploadr.com when you run it. Rest of the connections will be to localhostr.com for uploading/checking account details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought you may now with making this app. I assumed it has another domain which it passes by. securityError Error #2038 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 if you mean the error is there while uploading on localhostr's site it's best to ask kudos about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudos Veteran Posted September 15, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2008 You are using Flash Player 10 Beta. This error is intentional on Adobe's part, I am developing a non-flash uploader to get around this as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 wait, so this is a vista widget right? as Kudos said, it's a proper windows application. Works on both XP and vista, it *may* work on 2000 but that is neither tested nor supported. Anything like 95/98 is pretty much guaranteed not to work.
