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).

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 :(

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. :)

    • DayZ is getting a desert map with new Badlands expansion, set to be its biggest yet by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe It was only last year that developer Bohemia Interactive brought a snow-covered map to the multiplayer survival game DayZ with the Frostline expansion. The long-time supported, post-apocalyptic title is now aiming to take players to a region a little hotter with the next expansion. Touting extreme heat and war-scarred landscapes, the Badlands expansion is set to launch next year. Watch the announcement trailer above. Landing as the third expansion for DayZ, Badlands is set to deliver the biggest map ever developed for the hardcore survival experience. "With an enormous size of 267 km², DayZ Badlands introduces the largest official map in the game’s history," says the studio, describing the incoming content and setting. "Set west of Chernarus and bordering Takistan’s frontier, the terrain offers a desolate blend of cracked soil, sand-swept plains, and mountainous divides. Here, every inch of land tells a story of failed invasions, abandoned cities, and the silence that followed decades of war." The desert environment of the new Nasdara province brings its own survival elements for players to endure. This includes droughts and hydration management, as well as encounters with new types of infected zombies. New loot types, cosmetic items, and region-specific weapons are being added as a part of the expansion, too. As usual, with all the tools and environments in place, it will be the players who make up their own stories and adventures in the multiplayer title. Bohemia Interactive did not announce a release date for the DayZ Badlands expansion today, but it did attach a broad 2026 launch window to it. The expansion is being developed for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. While pricing information has not arrived yet either, judging by previous expansions, it may cost around $30 at launch.

    • Lol, that's where it's made and hosted, how else were they expecting the "cloud hosted" model to work? Alas, guess it's the same rule that every other service provider in the EU must follow; all data processing must be handled within EU borders. That's a welcome move for privacy. Deepseek's devs would have to find an EU host if they want to provide the service in the EU.
