Yeah, still the same behavior as before. I haven't found anything that triggers the bug, All I know is minimizing to the tray and pulling the window back up, makes the rectangle go away :(

hmm guess i'll have to keep looking into it.

Getting the white box Mike, could you provide an option not to have transparency for the main window?

Radish™

the transparency is in the PNG skin files so unless i have a second copy of the skin, no.

give me some details on your setup Radish and if you can, when it turns completely white. I'm still rather stumped why it should turn white. The window disappearing i'd possibly understand or maybe completely black but not white. For example, the shadow around the window just turns black when over a hardware video overlay (something i cant do anything about)

Can you add a text file in the localhostr folder of all the uploads you make for recovery purposes, e.g. you uploaded some stuff but deleted it from the ‘recently uploaded files’ and want to find a link for it after awhile…

I'd rather not, for most people it would just be a pointless text file. If you want to keep a link dont remove it from the history or make a note of it yourself :p

Oh and get digging (link in post above somewhere)

I'm on Windows XP with SP3 (hardware specs are in my blog). When I run the app, the window will stay normal for a few seconds then turn white - I have to end the app via Task Manager as it becomes unresponsive.

Radish?

if it does it every time without fail, fancy zipping up the directory its in (if its portable version you're using) or %APPDATA%\localhostr uploadr (if its the installer version) and sending it me?

feel free to remove the password hash from the config :)

Mac users: would you prefer a dashboard widget or a full blown app? Some of the features requested would simply be easier to do in a full app.

With a full app, the features would be on par with the Windows version. However, it would take much longer to code, maybe a few months.

dashboard widget would be good if possible, but whatever is easier for you guys

I'd prefer a full blown app as I don't use dashboard. I hate having it open cause it sucks up RAM. :/

Personally, Simon a dashboard widget makes more sense to me. All I want to do, is drag an image to my dashboard, drop it, and copy it. I don't see the need to have a fully blown application, do complete these simple tasks. If registration yields a web interface to see and manage all images uploaded - that'd be great. I do also use Skitch, which provides this kind of functionality and more, for work, which I would see as a competitor, should you go down the route of labouring towards a fully blown application.

How could you differentiate, from Skitch, if you were to look towards a desktop application?

Is it too much to ask for both? :whistle:

If so, I guess I'd prefer a dashboard widget over a full-blown app.

The idea wouldn't be so much a "full" application as it would a "mini" one ;)

Many widget attributes, but much more powerful. Really, the Windows widget with some OS X UI elements applied. The beta testers have all been sent a copy of my idea (and the beta program is currently full, however PM me if you want and I will contact you when I'm ready to handle more participants).

  • 2 weeks later...

just a quick heads up seeing as some people still use this topic for updates/reporting things, I won't be around here so if you find any problems from now on (windows version only) use the form at http://localhostruploadr.com/bugs/ otherwise I wont see it, and so nothing will be done about it :p

Who makes the interface skin? Possible to ask them for an opaque version?

Tried it again today (since last time I've had new HDD's installed, so a clean install as well), went white again :(

NOOO!!!!!.... the Windows mirror is down. =(

links fixed, been changing how my site is coded (where it gets the links from and for some reason it broke)

i'm on working on a partial rewrite on the drawing code currently (and adding some stuff for Win7) so once it's in a working state with the new code i'll send you a copy.

Why thank you very much. Can't wait to see how much easier this little app makes my online experience. :)

    • Edge 138 is out with AI-powered history search and other changes by Taras Buria Microsoft has released Edge 138, the latest major update for the browser. Version 138.0.3351.55 introduces some interesting changes and new features, such as AI-powered history search. There are also several bug fixes and security patches. For regular users, the biggest and most important change in Edge 138 is AI-powered history search. This feature allows you to find sites in your history using synonyms, phrases, or misspelled words. Microsoft uses an on-device model, which does not send your data anywhere. Note that this feature is rolling out gradually, which means it might take a few days or weeks to show up on your system. Another useful change is new performance notifications. Performance and Extensions Detector notifications may appear in the main menu when the browser detects performance dips to help users learn about available performance-optimization tools. Autofill settings received a new consent toggle, which allows Microsoft to improve the autofill capabilities by collecting field names as you browse. This only applies to field names, such as "First Name, "Email," etc. It does not send the data you enter or autofill to Microsoft. Other changes include the following: Use the Primary work profile as the default profile to open external links. With this feature, for Windows, Edge checks if the Primary Work Profile exists and makes it the default profile for opening external links if available. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat Summarization in Microsoft Edge Context Menu. This feature helps users quickly unpack and ask questions about their open page. Copilot on the Microsoft Edge New Tab Page (NTP). Users may see suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts in their search box on the NTP page. Adding support for viewing Sensitivity labels applied to a Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) Protected PDF. Enterprise customers can view sensitivity labels applied to MIP protected PDF to be well informed of the data classification to enable them to handle such sensitive documents. And here is what was fixed: Fixed an issue that caused WebDriver automation to fail in Microsoft Edge versions 133 and later. Fixed an issue where re-enabled textarea elements remained non-editable. This issue affected activating a role assignment in Privileged Identity Management. Finally, Edge 138 patches six security vulnerabilities, three of which were Microsoft Edge-specific, and the remaining three originated from Chromium. You can find details about those fixes here. The next Microsoft Edge update, version 139, is expected in the week of August 7, 2025.
    • “Never trust any statistics that you didn't forge yourself.”
    • Per the linked article: "Based on testing performed by Microsoft in December 2024 using Geekbench 6 Multi-core score comparing a selection of Windows 10 PCs with Intel Core 6th, 8th, and 10th generation processors and Windows 11 PCs with Intel Core 12th and 13th generation processors." I get that this is just advertising and all, but damn, I can smell the BS all the way over here. How about benchmarking 10 vs 11 on that same 13th gen processor? Apples and oranges make a lovely fruit salad but a terrible comparison. I mean shoot, my Windows 10 PC running a Ryzen 7 is faster than a Core2Duo running Windows 7, so Windows 10 is clearly faster. 🙄
    • KB5060829 installed in a test VM and the option isn't even there under "Taskbar behaviours". Installed it on a second VM, same. Installed it on metal... same. Typical quality of Nadella's Microsoft. If i doesn't shrink the taskbar vertical height down as @seeprime is implying, what's the point?
