Flickr Remote Organizer for GNOME (frogr) 0.8

[news 28]

Hi,

 

Frogr 0.8 is now out.

 

 

* What is it ?

==============

 

Flickr Remote Organizer for GNOME (frogr) intends to be a complete

application to remotely manage a flickr account from the GNOME desktop.

 

At this moment frogr is basically a flickr uploader for GNOME, but the

plan is to iteratively evolve it towards a complete flickr manager which

should allow things such as modifying properties for already uploaded

pictures, managing flickr albums an so forth.

 

This new 0.8 release introduces some new features (with a special focus

on integrating it better with GNOME 3), plus the usual bugfixing work.

Most remarkable new features:

 

* Ported to GtkApplication and GMenu.

* Added support for uploading videos.

* Support for loading and saving 'projects'.

* Handle and report errors in a better way.

* Perform after-upload operations in parallel.

 

This project is Free Software and published under the terms of the GNU

General Public License v3.

 

 

* What has changed in 0.8?

==========================

 

* Added support for uploading videos

* Added new 'All' and 'Video' filters to the file

chooser dialog.

* Added new items to the toolbar ('Open' and 'Save'

* Ported to GtkApplication and GMenu (both the app menu

and menu bar).

* Allow sorting elements in the icon view by size.

* Don't give up on upload too early and retry some times

when possible.

* Report errors better, and more often (no more

mysterious failures).

* Make after-upload operations cancellable, repeatable

and parallelizable.

* Properly check and report whether an user is actually

connected to flickr.

* Avoid fetching sets/groups/tags when not connected yet

to Flickr.
