Photopress 1.0

Please don’t take ‘1.0’ to mean I consider it to be perfect – I just ran out of 0.x space. This version does fix many bugs, including issues with editing categories. I know a bunch of you pointed out the problem, but when my mom noticed I had to fix it (no kidding).

The browse popup tool now has a drop-down menu for picking a page, which works much better with hundreds of images. In the process I fixed it so the filter choices are remembered, which makes a lot more sense.

Finally (I think), in the Mass Edit view the delete check boxes should be suppressed for images used in posts (if the right option is set). This makes it a lot easier to get rid of duplicates that aren’t used in posts. Oh yeah, there’s a new image for the visual editor icon. The old one is still there if you liked it better – poke around and you’ll find it.

Filez 0.4

This version of Filez should work with WP 2.1, using the same methods Photopress now uses. I’ll probably be making a few further improvements since I’m going to let some family members try it out – always a good way to find bugs and get ideas for improvements.

Photopress 0.9.7 (WP 2.1+ only)

This version uses a new method to place buttons, this time stolen from the Anarchy Media Player Plugin. It’d be nice if the plugin API had an easy way to insert buttons – I guess maybe in 2.2 or 3.0…

Due to all the new files and folders, I suggest deleting your old Photopress folder (back it up first!), then installing the new files. Remember to keep your template and style files if you’ve edited them.

I’ve removed watermarking for now in order to clean up the code and interface a bit. I’m working on a plugin infrastructure so we can have features like watermarking without cluttering up the core plugin so much.

Some browser-specific notes:

Firefox 1.5-ish: The browser I use most often, so everything works properly for me there.

IE7: Seems to work fine. I have a half-broken laptop with XP for testing now so IE support should be better.

Opera: Inserting images in ‘Visual’ is broken in Opera. Inserting on the ‘Code’ side of the editor works though, so I guess that’s a workaround. Or you can use PP’s tags feature – that works on both sides.

Myers Cycle Engineering

I’ve been trying to do the maintenance on our motorcycle myself, but I know there are a lot of things that I don’t want to do, either because of a lack of tools, complicatedness, or dirtiness. However, most of the shops in the DC area seem to be dealer-affiliated, which I like to avoid for real or imagined reasons. I’d noticed Myers Cycle Engineering in Kensington but hadn’t dropped in. When I rode to pick up some contact lenses my eye doctor noticed the bike – it turns out his son works at the cycle shop. I figure I’ll drop the bike off there for a checkup sometime soon and see how they do.

Photopress 0.9.6

In an effort to fulfill a New Year’s resolution, I’ve (hopefully) squashed some bugs and bundled together a release of Photopress. This version works for me with WP 2.0.6. I did have one problem, which I think was related to changing hosts, not Photopress: the collation on one of the tables was different from the other one, breaking the queries. Some clicking around in phpMyAdmin fixed it.

Download it and give it a try (but I’m sure I don’t need to tell you to keep your old files if they’re working for you): photopress.zip or photopress.tar.gz.
