Changelog

Downloadr is still beta software, so bugs and errors are to be expected. I try to fix them as fast as I can, therefore downloadr is updated quite often. If you want to know what has changed you can have a look at this list. Downloadr updates itself automatically upon launch if a new version is avaiable, so there is no need to re-download it if something changed.

• 31.05.2010
• Added an option to search for geotagged photos only, as per request
• 28.04.2010
• Fixed a bug that prevented users without contacts from authenticating
• Changed some error handling regarding machine tags. Should be more robust now. This affects the preview window as well as the downloads.
• No longer showing "Downloadr could not read setting ..." messages
• Searching for groups should work as intended now
• 03.11.2009
• Search results can now optionally be sorted
• 25.09.2009
• The "search more" button now works for sets, too
• The installer will no longer check for the .NET runtime environment 3.5, because that caused problems for a lot of people
• 05.09.2009
• You can now disable the writing of any metadata in the settings. This may be useful if you want an untouched backup of your files. This setting also applies to the full backup function
• If the original file format can not be determined downloadr will now use jpg instead of none
• 02.09.2009
• PayPal account no longer needed for donating. So if that is what kept you away...
• 30.08.2009
• GPS/geotagging support
• Now uses your contact list for auto-completion (works for sets, favorites and search by username)
• log.txt is no longer created for each download if not activated in the settings
• 25.08.2009
• Using new installer which puts downloadr in the start menu
• More reliable new download handler for metadata (EXIF and IPTC)

• You can now press Enter instead of clicking the Search button
• 01.10.2008
• You can now enter a nsid instead of an username in all username fields. This is mainly a workaround for an API related bug affecting usernames containing spaces. A valid nsid looks like 27117465@N00 and can be copied from a photostream's url, or you can use fusr to get it
