by Flickroom Team on Dec.20, 2009, under Announcements
Ho ho ho! The next major update of Flickroom is just in time for Christmas! There are several big enhancements that will make your Flickroom experience better than ever before. Here is a low down on the new features in the 0.30 update [available for download via http://www.flickroom.org/]:
- Flickroom Localized in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Polish - Flickroom is now available in these six additional languages apart from English. Language preferences will be automatically detected based on your system locale. You also have the option to change your language from the “Application” tab of the “Settings” panel. Flickroom team has received immense help from the community in bringing the application out in the different languages. A BIG Thank-you to:
- Giulio Iannotti, Andrea - Italian
- Yuya Saito - Japanese
- Cédric GODART - French
- Daniel Cano-Ott - Spanish
- Sasha Mann - German
- Sławek Pukło - Polish
Please note that this is just a pilot of the localized versions. There could be strings that are yet ‘un-translated’. Please feel free to send feedback about the strings at feedback@flickroom.org
- Grid view - Flickroom now provides you the option to view any photostream in “Grid” view. To use the same, click on the ‘Grid’ option in stream viewer.
- Signing of the application - Flickroom is now a signed and verified application. This means that the identity of its publisher (i.e. Flickroom Team) has been verified by a renowned certification authority - and so you can be assured that it is not a malicious application. Go ahead and install it, if that’s what you had been waiting for
- System tray - You now have the option of keeping the application running by minimizing it to system tray.
- Comments - All languages (double-byte characters included) are now supported in the comments. You can now comment in the language of your preference.
- Disable/Enable notifications pop-up - You now have the preference to disable notification-popups while running the application.
- Bug Fixes and UI - The bugs that caused the application to freeze on start-up or the browser window not opening for application authentication via Flickr have now been fixed. Several UI related enhancements have also been incorporated.
Hope you will continue to enjoy Flickroom!
Happy Flickrooming!
