MobileMe Plug-in version 1.6 is out

by Vlad on Mar.08, 2010, under MobileMe Gallery

Version 1.6 is available for download.

This release fixes an embarrassing issue with uploading photos, which was introduced when I implemented the feature for previewing albums. Now it looks like the code is stable, however, please let me know if you encounter any issues. The sooner you report your issues the sooner they will be fixed.

The screen shots below illustrate the recently added features:

Export to CVS plug-in updated

by Vlad on Mar.05, 2010, under CVS Photo Center

Version 1.3 is available for download.

This update fixes issues with uploading photos cased by recent changes to the upload mechanism implemented by CVS Photo Lab. However, these changes are either incomplete or just buggy – you can’t upload to an existing album, even using their web interface – the upload is always directed to “Today’s Album”. Let’s see how soon they fix that. Until this is fixed, the plug-in is going to behave similar, unfortunately.

Export to the MobileMe Gallery

by Vlad on Feb.24, 2010, under MobileMe Gallery

This Lightroom plug-in allows you export photos directly to the MobileMe Gallery (www.me.com)

To keep things interesting, I am releasing this plug-in under the Shareware license. If you are running an unregistered copy, you will be limited to upload only 10 photos at a time. To remove this limitation, a registration fee of $15 is required (per single user).

Here is the link to the plug-in home page: MobileMe Gallery Plug-in

Swans and ducks at Loantaka Park

by Vlad on Feb.15, 2010, under Animals, Daily Photo, Nature

This afternoon my family and I took a short trip to Loantaka Park where I shot these photos. These a little pond with many ducks and a couple of magnificent swans. They are very friendly and seem to like being around people, I guess because many visitors bring them food.

This update fixes a rather weird issue with being unable to log in, which affected only certain users. If you are getting a “Unable to parse server response” message after clicking “Log In”, you should download this update.
