Re: EBL_Upload

I’ll most likely put up a teaser video in the next couple of days to give you an idea as to how it’s working.

That was more than a month ago… Do you have any idea when the new version is ready?

Re: EBL_Upload

Barring any unforeseen bugs: Imminent

Changes in Version 3

• no external configuration file needed.
• adds three prefs to the prefs table (valid file type, valid image types, serial number).
• adds files upload ability.
• image cropping (thumbnail and image)
• a whole lot faster
• uses a little jquery.
• Pending : Works with 4.07
• Pending : Works with MLP
  • no external language file.
• Debating : Placing the SWF within the database. As it’s only 4.5k, it’s not large and makes installation a lot easier.

Also Pending : Adding the ability to edit the description / title information post-import without having to click on every file/image individually. This may or may not make it in this weeks release.

Re: EBL_Upload

Hello all.

Just got a sneak peak of the upcoming release from Eric.
This will definitely be worth the wait!

Some new stuff:

• Interface looks native to TXP – uses a little bit of jQuery to keep things tidy when you aren’t uploading.
• Batch uploads for both images and files tab
• Cropped thumbnail creation
• Ability to create a new image/file category on the fly
• Ability to add alt tag and caption to each image. – Yep. this is totally amazing!

Sounds like a release is just around the corner – Eric said the “to-do” list is pretty small.

There’s your morsel to drool over for the next week or so.

:)

Re: EBL_Upload

It’s a really bad render of that video. Everytime it converts it to FLV, I lose a LOT of video quality. grumble
