SmugBrowser - Firefox/Flock Extension BETA

Souwalker

Made a fatal error...upgraded to FF3 and Sumgbrowser does not work :-( I wish I read this thread first! :-)
Should I uninstall FF3 and go back to FF2? Or wait for David do his magic?
Thanks

I can't guarantee when I will get to it, I'm up to my eyeballs in API development at the moment...and with a newborn...my evenings can get sucked up pretty quickly as well.

Congratulations Dev!

How new? We've got a 5-month old boy ourselves (to add to the 4-year old boy). He's still keeping waking my wife up in the early morning for a feeding, but otherwise he's a pretty good sleeper.

Ah well, at least you can work from home, eh? Although coding w/ one hand [the other on the bottle (get it? sucked up? heh.) or cradling the baby] is tough work. :-}

Thanks Darryl.

Caitlin is just over 4 weeks old, and we also have an almost 4yo, which makes life interesting.

Congratulations Dev and Darryl on your new additions! But don't count on getting your free time back anytime soon! I have one headed off to college soon and still have not gotten my free time back!

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to revert FF 3 back to 2? I have been Googling this morning but have not had any luck. I do not see anything in ver 3 that makes me want to give up Smugbrowser!

I found the information I was looking for finally. If you want to revert (I DID!) try here:

FF2 will be maintained till Mid December 2008, hopefully Dave would've sorted Smugbrowser by then :-)

Congrats, Dev. Sounds like you're more than up to your eyeballs in busy-ness these days. I also updated to FF3, and I do miss smugbrowser. I figured you'd get to it when you can, and I'm not going to revert to FF2 just for smugbrowser. I can wait, though I do really miss it alot. Maybe this is a bad question, but I'll ask anyway.....

Given that you;re so busy, is smugbrowser open source, so that someone else can just pick up where you left off, and bring it up to speed? I'm not volunteering for the job. I know absolutely nothing about coding. I'm just a happy end user. But, if someone else steps up, would that be OK? Just askin'.....

Has anyone but me tried this in Flock? I just installed and going to start playing...but is everything the same as FF?

well, yes it should work fine.

But using the new flock 2.0 release, you will have the same issue as the new Firefox 3 release, since flock 2.0 is based on the Firefox 3 code base.

Why Doesn't It Work For Me
I don't seem to get this at all. Can some one talk me through how to get started. Smug browser is in my FIREFOX tool, I click on it : i see fil & tools tabs; tree & upload, I have my accounts listed there, right click on one : work offline, new category, properties, log in, logout. Click on " new category " nothing happens ?


Any ideas,

Question about using it for settings:

If I only want to change one setting, say for example I want everything to smugmug viewing style and I only change that setting in the bulk settings, do the rest of my setttings stay as they were or do they default to something else?

Thanks!

Oh and thanks for answer to the FLock question too! I just checked and I am still using v 1.2 so I will keep it that way for now:)

The other settings stay as they are.

Sweet! Thanks! Now I can do some more playing! I think I have been hiding under a rock not having used this before now!lol

mr peas

I want to isntall this but I'm currently running Firefox 3.0, any big bugs concerning an installation on it? Basically, I just want to be able to upload images through an easy GUI on Firefox!

Cool work though, wish others would help you out on perfecting this hoo-dingy.

No worky on FF 3.0

Haigh

Version v0.5.5 from the link on post #1 will not load on FF3. I get a message saying it´s incompatible with FF3

Any workaround or news on an update?

dgentile

Same here... I've recently updated to FF3, and no longer have FF2 installed... and it the 0.5.5 (is this the latest, or have I missed something) will not work...

seems like an amazing tool, but so far I had no chance to try it :cry

If anyone downloaded FF3 and wants a prior version, to work with smugbrowser and whatnot:

Moving Galleries
Can I move galleries around in Smugbrowser? I am revamping my nav bar and want to make some major changes. I need to move a large number of galleries to be under a different catagory. Any ideas how I should do this?

Thanks,

Do bribes help?
Would a bribe help get smugbrowser up and running on FF3 any quicker?

Do you have a Paypal account? (I'm just saying ... I'm serious)

You could run it on FF 2 or Flock ...

Yup, I'm running FF2 on one machine and FF3 on the other. Just getting tired of the FF2 crashes and hoping that FF3 will solve them (having seen FF3 crash yet, so I'm hopeful).

Still... time is money and so I'm pointing out that an update to smugbrowser is worth "money" to me. That's why I'm offering the bribe. :-)

Does the bulk watermark setting in Smugbrowser switch the watermarks?

I think it will only change what you have set on the customize page. You'd have
to use the photo tools > watermark and reapply.

I've made the request for drag-and-drop to Dev, and I believe it was even part of his original design.

But for now, you'll have to right-click, Properties, and go to the drop-down menu.

You can actually get pretty fast at it, because you can start typing the first few letters of the new category when the drop-down box is selected and it will "jump" to the one that matches.

But yeah, easier management of galleries in categories would be *hugely helpful*. I would contribute to a bribe for this feature too, as well as FF3 compatibility. But I know Dev is busy with the new baby, along with other SmugMug duties (oAuth -- yawn, whatever -- SmugMug is the only API I write to. Well, ok, and sometimes Phanfare. :-)

DrDavid

I've been chatting with Nikolai (of Star*Explorer fame) about the possibility of him making a SmugBrowser type program that allows drag and drop arrange, watermarking, etc.. His answer was that he could do it, but, given the development time, he wanted a few people to "chip in" to the cost of development. In exchange, you would get a copy of the program when done, with free support. Others would have to pay for support, etc..

So... If you're interested in something like this, PM me or email me.

Hmmm... I'm certainly guilty of having more money than time, and probably far less guilty of having more sense than money. But at $200 we're approaching the cost of products such as Lightroom (a program I "live" in) whereas an uploader is more of just a "tool" for me. I think I'll pass on the $200 offer.

I've been a fan of Smugbrowser for quite awhile... it would take a better product (and not just a promise of one) to get me to move.
