I've literally just finished implementing thumbnail support in ByteHoard/e. Unlike previous versions, they're not generated on the fly, but rather whenever the file changes - the same goes for all the file metadata ByteHoard uses, like mimetypes (which now work, too) and file sizes.
Well, the ByteHoard/e first alpha seems to have gone quite well. There were, as I expected, a few bugs - thanks to the people who found them, and I encourage anyone who finds anything slightly off to go and make full use of the new bugtracker at bugs.bytehoard.org.
So, the first ByteHoard/e alpha is out, and is the result of quite a bit of hard graft. There are still some compatability issues, as there are with all scripts this complex, but I think it's a good first try.
The alpha release of ByteHoard/e is oh so nearly ready; all that is left is pretty much one function, the "add user" function, and possibly registration if I think it's necessary (it probably is).
More work on the uploader today, and with some experience gleaned from the last two days' worth of fiddling about with uploads I now have a lovely asynchronous uploading panel.
So, after a touch more work on ByteHoard3 (well, perhaps a bit more) I have uploads and downloads working, along with deletion. The usual screenshots are attached, but basically the uploader currently creates little progress bars below the upload form with details about each file, which turn green or red at the end depending on completion or failure.
I promise I'll stop thinking of terrible names for blog posts at some point.
I've just finished the folder tree panel for BH/e, and because I'm a kind, caring developer (ahem), you get some pictures...
More leaps and bounds (or, to give them a better name, tiny footsteps) were made with BH/e today.
I've redesigned the ByteHoard website again; for those of you who've missed its last two years this is about the seventh design. This new one focuses on clean lines and readability, as well as saving a lot of bandwidth.
Now for my first item of the day. An update on the progress of ByteHoard.
