Yesterday I released Nautilus Flickr Uploader 0.07 with just one new feature: photo title editing.
It was a really easy to implement feature, that I don’t know why I hadn’t implemented until now, because it’s very useful.
In fact, I pushed the changes to GIT repo about two weeks ago, and I found myself using the development code instead the previous public version that I had installed in my personal laptop. I was used to setting the photo titles in the Filckr website after uploading, but now I feel it’s more comfortable doing it in the application.
I know it’s a very small enhancement, and I released 0.06 less than one month ago, but I really think it’s worth it, so it’s the only noticeable change.
That fast release cycle made me think about updates. Currently there are +550 Flickr users that have authorized the application, and I’m curious: which version are they running? Do they upgrade when there’s a new version?
Because of that I’ve decided to give better support to upgrades providing a Fedora repository (when I have some spare time, I’ll try to create a PPA for Ubuntu/Debian).
I know it implies certain responsibility, because maintaining a repository means that any new release will be installed automatically. Starting with 0.07 I’m going to sign the RPM packages with my GPG key (EA112704), although I expect people to have good practices such as checking the packages that are going to be installed in every update.
Using the repository it’s very straightforward:
wget http://www.usebox.net/jjm/nautilus-flickr-uploader/repo/nautilus-flickr-uploader.repo su -c "cp nautilus-flickr-uploader.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/"
And now you can yum udpate (if you’re already using the application), or yum install nautilus-flickr-uploader if you’re a new user.
Besides that, yesterday I recorded a screencast showing 0.07 in action. It’s just couple of minutes, but anyway… it might be worth watching if you don’t know the application.
