XK72 | Java and Adobe Flash Software

It’s been a few months since Charles 2.4.2 was released, and I’m now happy to report that I’m close to releasing version 2.5. This release will include a number of major and minor improvements. Here is a taster:

Improved viewing of cookies, images, multi-part form posts, AMF / Flash Remoting (this is a really neat improvement if you use AMF) and FLV files. Select multiple nodes in the tree to view summary statistics of those requests, or to save them all to disc. Keyboard shortcuts for switching between views. Regex filtering and row limiting on the sequence view. Automatic flushing of old recorded information to stop the session filling up. Host and path matching for recording ignore and tool configuration now with full wildcard support; so you can turn on No Caching on *.swf for example.

That’s only the interesting bits from a big list. I’m currently testing the changes and hope to have it release quality in a week or so.

Gallery2Export is a plugin for iPhoto that enables you to export photos directly from iPhoto into your Gallery2 website. It was originally developed by Dustin Brewer, based on the Flickr and Coppermine iPhoto Exporters. A few months ago (three, in fact) we moved the project to SourceForge and released a new version including a number of improvements I’d been working on in my first foray into Cocoa development.

The most interesting addition was an NSBrowser using data bindings to view the album structure of your online gallery. As I usually program in Java and with Swing for UI (on Charles), the Cocoa UI was good to work with; especially Interface Builder as I usually code the UI by hand.

In the last few weeks another developer, Scott Little, has contributed some great fixes and improvements to Gallery2Export and we’ve released version 1.1.
