ImageSizer is now available from the Adobe AIR Marketplace!

Posted by James - 13/02/09 at 09:02:27 am

A couple of days ago Adobe relaunched the AIR Marketplace – the official repository of AIR applications available for download – and with it made things a lot more accessible for ‘Publishers’ to add their applications to the Marketplace.  I’m not really sure how you got your applications on the previous version of the marketplace, but now you just have to submit yourself as a publisher, get approved, and then submit your AIR application to the Marketplace (which also has to be approved).

So I’m pleased to announce that ImageSizer is now available from the Adobe AIR Marketplace, and we even fixed a few bugs in the process.

ImageSizer – now with a Feedback form!

Posted by James - 23/01/09 at 11:01:34 am

I’m a bit of a slave to my own ideas – why else would I spend my evenings knocking together a whole host of not-really-nessesary features for a simple application?  I have to many ideas I want to impliment and too little time to do it, so I’m also acutely aware that I tend to break things without realising, when I try and rush new features through.  Hopefully though, it’ll all turn out ok in the end!

Today’s release of ImageSizer (version 0.4.3) introduces another new feature – the Feedback panel.  Essentially it’s just a traditional e-mail contact form – heck, it doesn’t even have any validation (yet) – but it should allow anyone who has any ideas or comes across any bugs to drop me a note from within the application.  Kudos to Eero Koplimets for taking the time to suggest this feature!

Introducing ImageSizer 0.4.2

Posted by James - 20/01/09 at 03:01:05 pm

Well, I’m a bit slack on the whole updates front – ImageSizer 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 have already slipped under the radar without a blog post – but with the latest release I thought I’d draw a little attention to it, not least because it fixes a bit an annoying bug that I introduced in version 0.4.1!

So, what’s new in the latest version?

Well, one of the things that I’ve found a lot of AIR applications are missing at the moment, is the ability to configure their settings – particulary those things mentioned by Serge Jespers in his post: “6 AIR features that may annoy your users” [link].  Back with version 0.3.10 I introduced some Pixel Bender filters to the application.  Version 0.4 introduced the Application Settings window – although it only appeared to work.  Version 0.4.1 expanded on this by introducing some backend code that actually stored the settings, but had a glaring typo that meant the whole thing didn’t work.  Version 0.4.2 in short, fixes this.

ImageSizer – updated to version 0.3.10!

Posted by James - 22/12/08 at 03:12:45 pm

I’ll try not to be boring and post every single time I make an update, but what the hell, I kinda like this update – even if it introduces nothing useful on the functionality front.

Version 0.3.10 of ImageSizer is now upgraded to use the AIR 1.5 runtime, and introduces my first working attempt at Pixel Bender filters. The Application Information window (in the above screenshot) now has a wavy effect – taken straight from the source code of the BlackBookSafe AIR application.

Resize multiple images and package them for e-mail transmission – introducing ImageSizer!

Posted by James - 02/12/08 at 12:12:30 pm

Or should I say, finally introducing ImageSizer.  If you’ve been here previously in the last couple of weeks, you might have noticed that a couple of links to an ImageSizer application have been floating around.  Back in September (at Flash on the Beach) Mark, our far-to-clever-for-his-own-good student showed me the inital work on an application he’d been working on for a couple of days – the subtley named ImageSizer.

Two months later and I’m finally getting around to implimenting what I offered him then, that we’d post it online and see what people think.  Well, here it is.
