news 28 Posted May 27, 2011 Hi, Frogr 0.5 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 0.5 release introduces some small (yet handy) new features, fixes a bunch of bugs in the GNOME bugzilla and bundles some new translations thanks to the always awesome people from the translation teams. It is also the first version shipping experimental support for MacOSX through the gtk-osx project [1], so users of that platform can also enjoy this Free Software application. This project is Free Software and published under the terms of the GNU Public License v3. * What's new in 0.5 ? ===================== * Allow loading files from remote servers (use URIs instead of paths). * Show username instead of full name in the UI, which is more useful. * Allow disabling tags autocompletion through preferences dialog. * Show tooltips in the icon view with basic info (title, size, date). * Allow enabling/disabling tooltips in the main window. * Use check menu items for the account items. * Better handling of files with UTF-8 characters in their names. * Show the total amount of data to be uploaded in the status bar. * Allow sorting pictures by title and date taken (reversed or not). * Allow copying new photoset's details into the selected pictures. * Correct photo orientation when needed. * Added support for generating MacOSX packages. * Updated marital status in THANKS file. * Fix compilation errors in some architectures (Alberto Garcia). * Make GTK3 the default version (opposite to just being supported). * Introduced new dependency: libexif (> 0.6.14). * Several other minor improvements and cleanups. Bug fixes: * #643288: Correctly handle plural forms in frogr-details-dialog.c * #643296: Mark file group name in selector as translatable * #644717: Proxy settings tab not compliant with HIG. * #644797: Remove file extension from file title. * #644799: Show how many MB your upload is while adding/upload photos. * #644800: Sort photos by date taken option * #644801: Rotate the photos to the right orientation. * #648597: Allow to add/load images from remote volumes * #648706: Wrong assumptions about word order New and updated translations: * cs (Marek Černocký) * da (Joe Hansen) * de (Mario Blättermann) * el (Mel Argyropoulou) * es (Daniel Mustieles, Jorge González) * fr (Claude Paroz) * gl (Fran Diéguez) * pl (Ã…Âukasz Jernaś) * pt_BR (Djavan Fagundes, Gabriel F.
