Juploadr 1.1 is here
Flickr Users, Zooomr Users, it’s here.
After months in development (it’s very hard to develop software in the summer), jUploadr 1.1 is finally done. We have a raft of new features including:
- Zooomr support
- Tag completion
- Added automatic state saving on exit, so you can shut down jUploadr without losing your work
- High quality scaling
- Upload bandwidth throttling
- Fixed out of memory errors that would cause thumbnails not to load
- Added standard keyboard shortcuts (ctrl-a, del)
- Added shift-click behavior so you can easily select groups of photos
- Improved windows launching script you no longer have to set JAVA_HOME
Be sure to read the CHANGES file for a list of what’s changed since 1.0… there have been quite a few improvements.
I’m going to Vegas for a week, and I’m going to wait a week to flip the bit in the file that tells people to download a new version. I’ve had over 8000 downloads since 1.0, and I don’t want them creating an avalanche of traffic and headaches while I’m gone. However, those of you with their ears to the ground can beat the rush and download it now.
I’m also taking feature requests for 1.2

Hi,
the zip file for windows is corrupt. Trying to unpack it yields an error message. I’ve tried files from more than one mirror with identical results.

Congratulations Steve, and well done for all your hard work on this one.
One thing that springs to mind for 1.2 is some kind of support for geotagging… but I have no idea how this might work in the jUploadr interface…!

Cool! The OSX version seems to be borked, though: I can’t mount the image…
September 4th, 2006 at 5:48 am
sweet! Thanks for all the work you put into this!
one thing though… it could just be me, but the windows file seems to be a corrupt zip?
September 4th, 2006 at 6:44 am
Also I found that the zip of Windows version is corrupt. And I’m trying the direct download of supported members of sourceforge and is also corrupt like the other mirrors where you could download the program
September 4th, 2006 at 7:21 am
the zip file should be fixed now, I’ll look into the osx image.

The download link at the top of the page takes me to the 1.0 release.
September 4th, 2006 at 7:31 am
OSX image is fixed. Download link fixed.

Minor issue is that the launcher script assumes a Sun JRE - I use an IBM JRE and it doesn’t work. I’ve manually edited the .bat file to reference the IBM JRE and it works fine.

excellent, thanks for your work on our behalf

You couldn’t have mentioned this during the beta?
September 4th, 2006 at 6:35 pm
One thing I’d like to see in 1.2 is importing of IPTC data. I’m using keywords, but none of them are pulling through (should they be?).
September 4th, 2006 at 10:40 pm
Steve, I could have mentioned it during the beta… but I always just dropped updated JARs into my existing installation and never used the updated launch script until yesterday - sorry. I’ll take a look and see whether I can fix it to work better in future. For now I’ve done some hard-coding.

Hi,
Just tried the linux+gtk version for 32 bits and I think I hit a bug. I’m behind a proxy, I already configured it and successfully established a connection with Zooomr (authenticated it and all), but when trying to upload a photo, there’s an error telling me that the proxy settings are set but are not configured correctly, am I doing something wrong? otherwise a nice tool
September 7th, 2006 at 6:58 pm
kad,
I take it your proxy is on port 80? That’s a *very* strange port for a proxy to sit on, but it is a bug with jUploadr, which will be fixed in the 1.1.1 release due out on saturday.

Great job here. I couldn’t have uploaded all my recent photos from my Canada trip without jUploader. I would have gone mad doing 10 at a time, then using the Zooomr interface to comment and tag them all. Cheers!
Feature requests for the next version:
* It would be excellent if jUploadr would read any IPTC title and caption info in photos and put them in the title and caption fields automatically. All my old photos have titles and captions already in them, and this would save me hours and hours of work.
* In the attributes dialog, it would be nice to have a button or a shortcut to go to the next photo. That and/or the option to put the attributes pane in the same window as the photos, but on the right hand side.

Steve, great work! It simply can not complete with flickr uploader. This has saved me so many headaches.
September 10th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
I’m not a DOS guru and I really can’t figure out what to do, as when I try to run the bat file, I get a
“‘REG’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
== was unexpected at this time.” error message :((
Any help would be sooo welcome
Cheers!

Mihai,
What version of windows are you running?
September 15th, 2006 at 6:18 pm
jUploadr’s default privacy is set to private, and the decorations on thumbnails in jUploadr say private, but why are they public in my Zooomr photo page?
September 16th, 2006 at 12:27 am
jc:
jUploadr looks like it’s doing the right thing, I sent a note to Kris at Zooomr, we’ll figure out what’s wrong.
I’m pretty sure this feature worked a couple days ago, and nothing has changed with jUploadr.

Nice tool Steve!
I have 2 ideas on how to improve it:
- make 1 only main program window, get rid off the command prompt window. It’s good for debugging (for example when flickr has hickups and does not accept photos), exiting juploadr needs closing 2 windows :/
- the option to open window with all the tags used by the user like here http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ Advantage: no need to browse for prviously used tags, clicking on any would add it to the tag input field.

1. Just a few things I noticed when using JUploadr for the Mac:
- It uses a LOT of CPU, up to 100%. It’s hard to do anything else when I’ve got it open. I have an iMac G5.
- It won’t quit when I tell it to. It stays open, and I have to Force Quit it. This has happened, without fail, every single time I’ve used JUploadr for the past month.
- When I edit a photo, if it’s already got text in the description field, and I’m only editing the tags, or the title, when I click Okay, it duplicates everything in the description field. If I try to go back in and edit the description field again, taking out the duplicate description, it stores the text again, and then I end up with my description in triplicate.
Can you please address these issues?
Thanks!
