LeMieFoto / MyImages Development Update

October 29th, 2009 admin 1 comment

Trying to follow the advice of some users who have reviewed the application, I added the ability to create  new custom folders where you keep and sort your photos.
At the time of the upgrade will be created a default folder, then everyone will have the possibility to decide where to organize photos, create additional folders and move pictures.
This division is also reflected in the web interface, and just on the web interface is focusing the work of these days, I’ll post few screenshots soon.

I added a check in the options panel to choose the compression level of the imported images (0 to 10, where “0″ stands for the lower quality and, therefore, higher compression).
And I would like some feedback from users about the quality of images, a couple of users complain about the reduced quality. Actually the code does not reduce the quality, also I’ve been comparing the same image (downloaded from the iPhone via “standard procedure” after been importing in the application) to the original one and I have not seen loss of quality.

Maybe users refer to the quality in the internal viewer? I can admit this, because – to avoid crashes and slowdowns – I chose a low quality level for these images (this does not affect the “real” image that’s only a “preview”), and I’m still doing tests to find an acceptable compromise between stability and quality.

Someone is willing to post impressions?

Moreover, added the ability to send one or more pictures by email, though when the images are too many (a total of 4 /5 MB) the iPhone cannot stand it.. I’m finishing some tests and will try to provide more accurate information when issuing the upgrade.
However, for security matters, the “Attach” button shows the total megabytes to be attached, so you can adjust:

Probably I won’t giving it for 1.1, but I’m adding the ability to import videos (and then share them via web interface), it will take a while to develop this thing because I need an iPhone 3Gs since the 3G doesn’t support videos; in a week I’ll be able to have the new device but I would take a little more time to do things the right way =)

Last but not least: some users have requested the opportunity to upload images directly from the web, this addition is in development – I hope to install  in 1.1 – although it will be kept simple and easy  and WebDAV won’t be in use currently.

That’s all folks =)

UPDATE: the iPhone 3Gs has arrived, I’ve been testing some controls and understood the problem some were complain: I’ve been developing the application on a 3G device, and picture resolution is 1200×1600 while the ones taken with 3Gs is 1536×2048. By the part of the code, the imported image is 90 degrees turned and at the moment of the image rotation I was assuming the actual resolution was 1200×1600, that explains the loss of quality. In the next issue all will be fixed.

ALive 1.0.6

There are some new improvements – included a bug resolution in memory gesture – for this new ALive version: it has been rewrote from scratch the whole score box to get some better features, also some controls have been added to check out score boxes without returning back to the main window.

Then, a new system to quick recognize the status of the match has been added: a red bar is showing when match has ended, an orange bar is showed when there’s time-out and a green bar is showed when match is currently in play.

Moreover, by setting the auto-refresh mode, all the remaining seconds to next refresh are shown in the upper bar.
Even in the main window.

Last: there’s an ongoing localization in Italian, English, French and German.

So, go get it!

ALive 1.0.5 in review

GO ALIVE!

The new ALive version has been yet sent in for revision, in order to bring you a new version with changes and optimizations, right before the beginning of the Serie A championship (so to have all the fresh data for the 3 newcomers teams):

  • all team logos will be downloaded from the net and locally stored on your phone to have them always available; this is the very first step for the Serie B championship support, as suggested by some users;
  • it is necessary to update to the new current version of ALive in order to have all Serie A team logos available (while in the backward version there won’t be any chance to display them).
