Status report

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!
