I realize that this is not the 1.1 update that I have been promising for a while, but it still is an interesting milestone. Indeed, more and more people have been asking for a version of TuneSleeve that could install and run on a 64-bit version of Windows, and this update finally makes it possible! Thanks to Christian for helping me figure out what I needed to do to overcome the major hurdle I was facing in this endeavor!
In this version, I am also providing a Japanese translation of the application. A thousand thanks to Yuko for her amazing work on this translation!
Finally, I have good news for Vista users who were suffering terribly slow image saving times with TuneSleeve: it looks like the problem has been fixed in the latest version of iTunes (7.6). I have been able to confirm this on my own Vista test machines, and I have asked some customers who had experienced the problem to test it as well. If they report that iTunes 7.6 fixed the slow saving time for them, I’ll consider this bug officially closed and will recommend iTunes 7.6 to every Vista user.
And now, back to work on version 1.1!
- TuneSleeve now installs and works on 64-bit Windows.
- Japanese translation
- Minor UI touch-ups
I have create a page for TuneSleeve on FaceBook, so you are welcome to come by and visit!
Hint: you’ll find a coupon code for a discount on that page.
It’s been a little more than 3 months since I said “this summer should be dedicated to TuneSleeve”. The summer being over, I feel it is now time for a status report.
First and foremost, I must admit that I did not work on TuneSleeve as much as I had intended to during the summer. But the good news is that I am heads down in the code right now, and intend to release a new version before Christmas, and another one shortly after.
Here is what can be expected in the short term (version 1.1):
- Ability to set a minimum size for downloaded images
- Ability to specify which international Amazon catalog should be queried
- Support for Windows 64 bits
- Display the size of each downloaded image
- Ability to cancel any ongoing operation
- Local caching of images that have been downloaded so they don’t need to be downloaded again when TuneSleeve is restarted.
- Better resilience to errors returned by iTunes
- Diagnostic logs to help me troubleshoot problems
- Better download performance
- Better image saving performance on Windows Vista
This will be a free upgrade to existing users.
Stay tuned!
As you are gearing up for school, filling your backpack with all the essentials to help you get through the semester, it is the perfect time to use TuneSleeve to download all that missing artwork in your iTunes library so you can enjoy your iPod or iPhone at its best!
Even more so with the TuneSleeve back-to-school promotion: use the coupon BACK2SCHOOL when buying TuneSleeve and get a 10% discount on your order. This offer is valid until September 16th, 2007.
Have a great semester!
