For those that follow my android app...

The v2.4 version adds a batch uploader for photos and videos. You can now share multiple photos and videos from the phone's gallery with SmugFolio. Edit the gallery, caption, keywords, and hidden attribute for single photos or multiples before hitting upload.

v2.4.0 also contains the following enhancements
  1. Setting to turn off "destructive actions" such as delete and set as wallpaper actions
  2. Setting to auto download galleries only when on wifi
  3. Ability to save photos locally to the phone
Thanks,

Brian

    Doesn't work
    I installed the app today and all it does is give me a generic error message and says to try later.
    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is.

    I LOVE this application! Great work! I am using this application on my Galaxy Tab, and it works great. I personally prefer the 7" size of the Galaxy Tab over the 10" iPad, and this application is a great way to showcase my galleries to others from my Tab.

    Thanks for the great work.

    Keyword parsing
    This is a great app - incredible feature set, very smooth, and very easy to quickly navigate your photos. Highly recommend it.

    I am having some trouble with the keyword filter as what appears to be related to how the app parses the keyword string. My site has the keywords as quoted strings delimited by semi-colons. Smugmug properly parses them but SmugFolio seems to split them at the space and also sometimes includes the semi-colon and/or quote in the parsed keyword.

    For example:

    "John Smith"; "Eiffel Tower";

    seems to be parsed by Smugfolio as the following keywords:

    1) "John
    2) Smith";
    3) "Eiffel
    4) Tower";

    when what I expect would be:

    1) John Smith
    2) Eiffel Tower


    Thanks again for the great app.

    After thinking about it for way to long, I took the plunge and downloaded SmugFolio. The push I needed was when my current uploading solution (PicPush) stopped working a few days ago. The downloading and slideshow portion of the app is the nicest I've seen. It is incredibly fast and really showcases the pictures well.

    I am, however, having some issues with the Upload portion of the app (Nexus S running Android 2.3.2). When trying to "Add Photo" I am taken to a screen (which looks very much like the Android Gallery) but am told that "There are no items in your collection". Even when I go into the camera (an icon in the top right of the screen) I am not able to add a picture to upload.

    An additional feature that I would love to see is folder monitoring. This would allow you to chose which folders to monitor (with the option to upload images and/or videos), how long after taking the picture before uploading, whether to delete from phone or not after upload, and whether to upload only when on wifi or if plugged in. Is something like this on your roadmap?

    Even if uploads don't work or have limited use, it is still a great way to view my smugmug pics. Brian, do you maintain a support forum for this app, or is this the best place to discuss SmugFolio?

    Could you try viewing the gallery first and then sharing the photo(s) you want to upload with SmugFolio? That is the mainline use case.

    The method you're using should work (and I actually thought I fixed this in the latest release), but Android limits this method to only selecting one photo at a time. So viewing the gallery first, multiselecting and sharing a bundle of photos with the app is the preferred route...

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone!

    Thanks for reporting this. I'll fix it in the next patch...

    What are the differences between Smugfolio and the Smugmug developed app?

    Ok, I have a new request. Being that my SmugMug account is getting pretty big, I would LOVE to either be able to scroll quickly from top to bottom when viewing galleries. Or I would appreciate a tab similar to the one for my Contacts which would allow me to place my thumb down and pull to the bottom more more expedient scrolling.

    Such a great app, thanks so much!

    How about switching to view by category rather than listing all galleries on one page?

    It's a good suggestion, but I view by gallery because I archive by gallery. SmugMug's categories are inefficient for my purposes.

    Example:
    Perhaps we have a birthday party with lots of kids, music, and events. I can categorize this as children, family, events, music, etc. Then when my wife or I are browsing, nothing makes sense, so I much prefer viewing by gallery.

    The SmugMug app scrolls really fast, but I prefer Smugfolio...

    Thanks!

    Snapwood does it again...
    Yet again, my high-maintenance, super-needy, 'it's-all-about-me' request was heard to and adapted into Smugfolio. Brian, I cannot say enough about your great support.

    In fact, Smugfolio in the reason why I'll be upgrading my wife's next phone to an Android OS phone rather than an iPhone. After much back and forth, and despite her need for simple technology, she simply won't be able to access all of our archived family photos properly with an iPhone because of the lack of a simple and smooth SmugMug app. But with access to Smugfolio, it'll be one tap and every photo we own will be at her fingertips.

    Bravo.

    Thanks, it was a very minor change. If you have other ideas, don't hesitate to direct email me.

    If you are on Facebook, I have created a page for SmugFolio. Liking the page will get you status updates on the app. There is also a support forum we can use rather than clogging this forum.
