PicLens support for the whole FF site!

oh, now that's just cool. i love the wall! if i were doing a gallery, that would be a very cool way of doing it. and yes, i downloaded and installed it. works fine in i.e. 7.

btw, dilla, do your name 'crapadilla' in the search. try 'kraellin' too

and thank you. i like this a lot and it seems to be free to end users, which is a bit surprising. i can only assume they're selling it to the commercial folks to make their $$$.

Thats so cool, just downloaded it and having a look at the moment!

Love that garnet texture that comes up when I searched for you Dilla

it works fine on yahoo, dilla, but you may have to be in the image search area before it will and not just their regular newsy pages.

now, one interesting thing i saw on their pages was the ability to embed this thing on any web site. that means that FF could actually add this to the FF forums here, which i think would be very cool, especially if we had a gallery area. it might even work well for viewing the library here.

Who woulda thought!

hehe, sjeiti.

i've been trying to get doug nelson, owner of retouchpro, to embed piclens. we do a LOT of images over there. and i must say, it really looks good here on FF.

IE7 was the only program running.....downloaded and installed PicLens.....tested it out on the web and worked fine.....went to FF and worked fine.....closed browser.....opened FF and the editor cursor was stuck on grab (hand pointer) so I couldn't work on filters.....in trying to open other programs, they would come up for a second then close on their own, then stay open on the second attempt to open them.....FF wouldn't allow me to connect to their website, but I could get there if I opened the browser separately from FF.....then my comuter started to completely seize up, thus forcing hard shutdowns.....the task manager showed that IE, FF, and PicLens Active X programs were all fluxuating to max out CPU usage without the programs being open.....

lol.

i think this is something on your end, steve. i have no trouble with piclens, ie7 (which is what i normally use) and FF. i even did like you said and opened the FF editor with i.e.7 up and piclens running.

It is a problem for me , I've even had it wipe out a filter just trying to open it from the GUI - when I've just opened FF - mind you it was one of Steve's so I don't quite understand that it's a rescoure leak when it can happen straight away on opening with nothing else running I wonder if it's more than that

the resource leak is real. no question. but this piclens thing seems to be related to something on your system, steve. could be vid drivers or just about anything.

because it's a cool little app that takes like 10 minutes to embed on a website and doesnt involve the coders and makes all the FF stuff look even better?

Well, from what I gathered from Vlad, they still can't figure out what is causing the "Resource Leak" problem.....and like you said, they did mention that they are going to try new code to remedy it.....

Vlad also mentioned that the PC and Mac versions will share most of the platform base code.....so I would think that they would have it remedied in a PC V1.xxx update before releasing either the Mac or PC V2 versions for backward compatibility reasons alone, eh??? ......maybe even a Mac V1 release with it in order to keep PC and Mac versions consistent and coinciding with each other.....

It's buried in one of the strings somewhere.....I believe it was OnyxMaster who mentioned it.....

That leads me to conclude that they're going to throw all potentially dramatic changes into one pot and have an extended beta period to test it all out.

Yeah, it definitely looks that way.....and another beta period would quite beneficial given the success of the first one.....

vlad also mentioned something about fixing some things in a 1.5 version for the pc AFTER the mac came out or maybe concurrently. perhaps that will happen and have the leak fix.

so, patience, grasshopper! we havent even fully tapped verion 1.xx yet
