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 :(

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. :)

    • LibreOffice narrows gap with Microsoft Office in 25.8 Beta 1 by David Uzondu The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 25.8 Beta 1 for public testing on Linux, macOS, and Windows. This is the second pre-release for the 25.8 cycle and the foundation says that the final, stable version of LibreOffice 25.8 is expected to land at the end of August 2025. Starting off with Writer, LibreOffice's Word, the developers have finally addressed some long-standing annoyances, including a new command to easily insert a paragraph break right before a table. This beta also introduces a useful privacy feature in its Auto-Redact tool, letting you strip all images from a document with a single option. To use it, go to Tools and select the Auto-Redact option: The application has improved its ability to handle different languages for punctuation, preventing mix-ups in multilingual documents. Other notable improvements have also been made. A new hyphenation rule lets you choose to prevent a word from splitting at the end of a page, moving the whole line to the next page instead. Microsoft Word has had this feature for years now. The Navigator now displays a handy tooltip with word and character counts for headings and their sub-outlines. Scrolling behavior when selecting text has been improved, making it less erratic. A new command with a keyboard shortcut was added for converting fields into plain text. Calc gets a lot of new functions that bring it closer to its competitors like Excel, including TEXTSPLIT, VSTACK, and WRAPROWS. Impress now properly supports embedded fonts in PPTX files, which should reduce headaches when sharing presentations with PowerPoint users. Alongside these additions, the project is also cleaning house; support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 has been completely dropped. There are also smaller UI tweaks across the suite, like allowing a single click to enter rotation mode for objects in Writer and Calc. macOS users get better integration, with proper support for native full screen mode and new window management features from the Sequoia update. In terms of performance, the team has optimized everything from loading huge DOC files and XLSX spreadsheets with tons of conditional formatting to simply switching between sheets in Calc. These improvements should be noticeable, especially when working with complex documents. A new application-wide "Viewer mode" has also been implemented, which opens all files in a read-only state for quick, safe viewing. On a related note, The Document Foundation has joined efforts by the likes of KDE to encourage Windows 10 users to switch to Linux. Also, you might have heard that Denmark, in a bid to lessen its reliance on Microsoft, has decided to make a full switch to LibreOffice, with plans to begin phasing out Office 365 in certain ministries as early as next month. If you're interested in this release, you can read the full release notes and download the binaries for your platform: Windows, macOS (Intel | Apple Silicon), or Linux (DEB | RPM). You can also get the latest stable version from our software stories page.
    • Until it can be used 100% offline (ie: PST file support or equiv) not even considering it. I'll jump to Thunderbird first which has gotten a LOT better since the last time I looked at it.
