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

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)

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.

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.

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)

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

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 said:
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.

Thanks, but it happens directly from the website...

I just thought you may now with making this app. I assumed it has another domain which it passes by.

    • The DS925+ which is this years model with 2.5G networking is only marginally more expensive. About £25 more on Amazon UK. Not sure on the certified disks thing though, I guess it depends if the disks they certified are more expensive than the others or not. I use Seagate IronWolfs personally. Are they on the list? I agree with Steven. Synology DSM is miles ahead of the competition, I wouldn't go elsewhere now. The price is justified.
    • Google Cloud announces new Gemini-powered tools to 'increase efficiency' for partners by David Uzondu Google just announced a couple of new AI tools for its Partner Network Hub on Google Cloud, designed to take care of some of the most boring admin work and make things a bit easier for the companies it works with. Putting together a formal Statement of Work can be a tedious process, where every single detail needs to be perfectly aligned with Google Cloud's requirements. The company's new SOW Analyzer, powered by Gemini, tackles this directly. Partners can upload their draft document, and the AI will immediately point out problems like missing clauses or technical goals that are not measurable, even providing examples of how to fix them. In addition to the analyzer, there is a new Bot-Assisted Live Chat. This is an AI agent built into the partner portal that provides 24/7 help with things like onboarding, billing questions, and incentive claims. If the AI cannot solve your problem with billing or rebate claims, it can hand you off to a human agent without making you explain the entire issue from scratch. These two tools are joined by AI-powered updates to the existing Earnings Hub, which is designed to help partners find new growth opportunities by using predictive data to show what services are in demand: The SOW Analyzer and Earnings Hub are available right now for partners in the hub. The Bot-Assisted Live Chat is currently rolling out and is expected to be fully available to all users by next month.
    • Not sure I agree with your particular interpretation of this. An ESU key is still required per device that you have to enter into the device in order to activate ESU. These aren't being given out for free. The linked Microsoft article still states: "If you have paid to enroll your remaining Windows 10 systems in the ESU program..." which seems to confirm this.
    • I swear, whoever is handling the Gundam IP for video games should be fired. How can you go from the gems that were releasing in PS1, PS2 and PS3, to the utter disaster that's today, from the VR game just to be on the hype bandwagon and all the focus on SD. This will probably be studied as one of the worst ways companies mishandle an IP.
