Flickroom

Here comes the much awaited update to provide you an even better Flickr experience! It is aimed at making Flickroom users even more powerful. Read on to find out all the new goodies in Version 0.28 Beta [available for download via http://www.flickroom.org/]:

• Upcoming Photography Events - Flickroom now provides you a way to find out upcoming photography events in your locality.
  • You can search for all kinds of events like Photowalks, Trainings, Workshops, or any other event you are looking for.
  • You can also add an event if you are conducting it somewhere.

  Flickroom’s event search is powered by Yahoo Upcoming.

• Fullscreen View - Now you can view photos in fullscreen mode also. A new button has been added just after the button to change background color of a photo. If you want to run a slide show in full screen mode, you first need to start the slideshow and then set the photo viewer to full screen mode.
• Group Discussions List - Support has been added to show discussions list of Flickr groups. You can see the discussion titles and their authors. For seeing the content of the discussion, you need to click on the link which will show the same to you in your default browser.
• User Profile Fixed - Recently Flickr modified its way to show user profiles breaking the Flickroom’s profile page as well. It has now been fixed with the current update.
• UI Improvement and Bug Fixes - A lot of UI polish across the application has been done. The comments view especially has been improved a lot. You can now click on author’s name or photo and see his/her profile or photostream.

Hope you will continue to enjoy Flickroom!

Happy Flickrooming!

Flickroom Team is back with a new update to provide you an even better Flickr experience! This update is aimed at making Flickroom accessible to more and more users in an easy and slick manner. Read on to find out all the new goodies in Version 0.24 Beta [available for download via http://www.flickroom.org/]:

• Anonymous Access - Flickroom now provides you an option to use the application without requiring login (authenticating the application). You will be able to access all features of Flickroom except the following:
  • Commenting and Uploading Tools
  • Viewing Recent Activity

  To access Flickroom anonymously, click on the “No, I want to use Flickroom without my login” button. If you are already logged in, you will need to logout first and then try out this mode.

• WebShare - So you have been enjoying the Flickroom experience to browse your Flickr photos in a whole new way. Well, how about sharing the same cool experience with your friends who are not using Flickroom or even Flickr! Following are two ways to showcase your photos the Flickroom way:
  • Just pass on the following link to your friends and relatives:
    • http://flickroom.org/web/share.swf?emailid=<your_yahoo_emailid>
  • Otherwise, you can create a webshare widget by clicking on “Create a Webshare” button (available in the application’s status bar at the bottom). It will generate an HTML code snippet which would allow you to embed Flickroom view (as a Flash widget) in a webpage.
• Slideshow - A basic slideshow feature is now available while viewing photos (in photostream, sets and group pools)
• Search Tool - There is now a search tool in the following modules - Sets, Groups and Contacts. Also, all of them are now sorted alphabetically by default.
• Image Caching Setting - There is now a setting in the Settings Manager which allows you to enable/disable caching of all the photos that Flickroom shows in different places. This setting is turned OFF by default. Switching it ON would result in extremely fast loading of images that you have seen in the past (as it would avoid any network activity). However, it would take up some extra space to store those images on your disk.
• UI Improvement and Bug Fixes - A lot of UI polish across the application and specifically for the chatroom has been done.

Hope you will continue to enjoy Flickroom!

Happy Flickrooming!
