Auto resume in default uploader

tsk1979

I face a unique situation at my end(India).
Often we have power cuts, which means no internet for about 2 minutes till generator kicks in.
So lets say before going to sleep I put a queue of 100 images for upload

After an hour or so, there is power failure.

The uploader(default built in) will try to upload all images, and quickly cycle through all 100 in the list.
Then throw a popup(retry)

I am obviosuly sleeping, so when I get up in morning, I see just 10 images uploaded, and a popup asking retry.

Just asking, is it possible to have an auto resume. Something like "keep trying". Or maybe automatically enable retry if no input is received for 100 seconds or so?

For example, in some problems you have a a dialog saying "continue" along with a timer.

When timer hits 0, continue gets selected automatically.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi,

We currently don't have such a feature in our uploaders. Would you mind adding it to our feedback pages:
http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug
That way other users can vote and comment on your suggestion, and it helps us to keep track of all suggestions made.
Thanks!

That said, you could take a look at other uploaders that are available from our users. Maybe one of them comes with a feature that would help you in that regard? Check the uploaders section here:

Personally I have StarExplorer and it comes with detailed connection settings:

I've run across this same problem (and even there in India on a recent trip). My solution is to use smugftp.com. This way, I can just queue it up in my ftp client, and it will automatically retry.
