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.

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).

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. :)

    • Meta (Facebook) tends to make horribly designed apps, which not sure if its deliberate or just plain poor design, maybe due to incompetence. For a huge internationally and well known company, this is baffling, they are getting bad PR but I guess they are tok big and super popular and seemingly can get away from any gov thus they are getting away with these blunders. Example their Facebook Stories, when mobile OS uses gestures for years to go back to previous menu, it just tends to swipe to previous or next stories instead of exiting the UI. I have to make sure I swipe from the very edge. This really bad UX but Facebook doesnt car about the bad UI practices. Is this deliberate, malice? Idk, maybe for force engagement, or just somebody never tested their products well about the issue, maybe they think user should know better and just arrogant to thing we are using it wrong?
    • This is insane for a tech focused site tbh. I cant understand anyone who would want this let alone anyone interested in tech or pc's. I understand the want to push stack deals but this is a terrible deal. I have bought a few deals through neowins stack before, they were good deals but this....
    • Its really apparent that these features and how they treat new Outlook now to be only web based to call these features "Offline mode". Like before we just gain features without them being called offline mode feature, but now here it is. It feels like if these codes bugged, we might left with app that is just useless liece kf codes when PC isnt connected to internet, especially laptops and tablets/convertibles.
    • Amazon Deal: Sony 65 inch 4K Bravia 5 2025 Mini LED TV with Dolby Vision/Atmos is $200 off by Sayan Sen Recently, we covered soundbar home theatre deals from Samsung and JBL for under $1000. Those are still selling for their best prices and you can check them out in their respective articles linked above. Obviously, for a home theatre, you also need a display, and depending on the kind of setup and room you have, you could choose a fairly premium projector like Valerion's StreamMaster Plus2 4K that is currently $300 off on Amazon US, or you could look for a TV. If you are looking for something for under $1500 then Sony has a great deal at the moment. The company's Bravia 5 mini LED 65-inch TV is on sale for $1298 thanks to a $200 discount (purchase link under the specs list below). Mini LEDs, unlike LEDs, promise much better precision in terms of backlighting which should lead to better contrasts with deeper blacks and brighter whites without being overblown either way. The full specs of the Bravia 5 are given below: Display Resolution: 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) Panel Type: LCD with Mini LED backlight Backlight Dimming: XR Backlight Master Drive with local dimming for enhanced contrast Panel Refresh Rate: 120 Hz HDR Compatibility: Supports HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision Color & Image Processing: XR Triluminos Pro™ with Live Color™ technology, XR Clear Image, and XR Motion Clarity™ Connectivity & Ports: HDMI Inputs: 4 side-mounted (supports HDMI 2.1 features including 4K at 120Hz, eARC, VRR, ALLM, and SBTM) HDCP: Version 2.3 on all HDMI ports USB Ports: 2 side ports (supports FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS formats) Other Ports: RS-232C Input: 1 (side) Digital Audio Output: 1 (side) RF (Terrestrial/Cable) Input: 1 (side) LAN Input: 1 (side) Wireless & Smart Features: Wi‑Fi: Dual‑band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) with support for Wi‑Fi Certified 802.11 and Wi‑Fi 6 Bluetooth: Version 5.3 (compatible with A2DP, HID, HOGP, SPP, and AVRCP) Built‑in Chromecast: Yes Operating Platform: Google TV Smart Connectivity: Features BRAVIA Sync (with HDMI‑CEC), Apple HomeKit, and Apple AirPlay Get it at the link below: Sony BRAVIA 5 65 Inch TV, Mini LED, 4K120hz Television with Dolby Vision/Atmos, Exclusive Features for PlayStation®5, K-65XR50, 2025 Model: $1298.00 (Shipped and Sold by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
