Twimager 1.0.25

Minor update to Twimager was released today. This update fixes issues with Twimager showing as a viewer for other types of images that were not supported. It also adds support for some other types of images, like ones on the device that you open with an application like Astro, for example. Also support for MMS images was added. Now you can click on the image in your MMS message and open the image right in twimager.

As always, Twimager is available for $0.99 on the Android Market, or you can get the limited version for free.

Windows 7 Skin TLB Command Line

I have been a huge fan of True Launch Bar for years. I do not have anything to do with the product, nor do I get anything in return for “plugging” it. I use it a lot less now with Windows 7, but I still use it to put a command line right in the task bar. TLB is a highly customizable taskbar replacement for Quick Launch.

 

 

TLB offers a wide assortment of plug-ins, plus an SDK for developers. You can get TLB right now for $13.93, that is 30% off the normal price, and well worth it.

Now that you know what TLB is, I have created a simple little skin for the Command Line plug-in that gives it a Windows 7 look. Download the skin, then extract it to the “<TrueLaunchBarInstall>\plugins\cmdline\skins” directory.

Download Skin

Now if it were possible to update existing skins on the website. I want to lighten or even remove the dark border around the border so it looks better on lighter backgrounds. The zip file for the skin contains the skin image, but also contains the Paint.NET file so you can remove it if you wanted to.

Twimager 1.0.24 Released

A new release of Twimager is available on the market for purchase. This release adds full support for image caching, whether its the “thumb” view or the full size, zoomable image. Thumbnail images are now also loaded for the “thumb” view, for sites that support them.

The cache uses the external storage device, if available, and it can be cleared in the Preferences.

The preference screen was also slightly changed. The sections are now grouped together.

 

Droid Explorer Download Stats

Droid Explorer has been increasing in popularity of the past year. Total downloads passing 85,000, page views at about 340,000 and since the projects first release in August ‘09.

 

The “Drop Off” is for a time span that CodePlex has not yet calculated the data.

The latest release has had over 1,600 downloads in about 3 days. Droid Explorer, in the last 7 days (based on when CodePlex does their counts), has had 4,440 downloads. This puts Droid Explorer in the #14 spot for most downloaded projects on CodePlex. About 300 away from the “patterns & practices – Enterprise Library”, and 600 from ASP.NET projects, like ASP.NET MVC.

Droid Explorer 0.8.7.1

I released a minor update to Droid Explorer the other day that addressed the following:

• .NET 3.5 SP1 Check removed. This caused issues on Windows 7, even though it ships with .NET 3.5 SP1
• Added icon for the EVO – thanks to sanjsrik for identifying the device for me
• Added some debugging messages to the Shell Console so I can get some info from you Droid/Milestone users on what’s not working.
• Application data is now cached, so they load WAY faster. The first time it still loads normally, but after that, zoom!
