Basically life took over in this half of 2009. Live 3.0.0 released in July, that was the last RAWR-Event that occurred officially. After that only small bursts of progress were made on improving the Preview Box.. that really hasn't got any further. I barely even get time to play my video games!
Here is what most people would want to know:- From a usability point of view, I wanted to introduce Flash multiple file uploading as my next update to the templates. But I don't believe rejetto has it working yet. Its a shame, this is one of the things I find most annoying about uploading to HFS externally.
- Still waiting on HFS to support proper icon sizes so I can finally use better default icons. After making Live 3.0.0 I am not totally against custom icons, but I would prefer to use the Windows ones.
- From an administration point of view I wanted to introduce RAWR-X... but that kinda stopped when my friend from university that was working on it got stuck on some limitations of HFS Macro. That and I don't understand how the template he made works so I can't expand on it, maybe Richard can when he gets a holiday... maybe I can when I get a holiday.. haha.
- I have more language files to add to ToG and RAWR-Template, I think they are Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional and Swedish. Those templates will support 15 languages with those added!
- Richard is less busy now, but he is working on more important things, he enjoys working on our homepage and personal 'rawr' projects that might or might not be directly related to HFS templates. But he hasn't lost the love for HFS completely.
Some end notes for 2009.If anything, Live 3.0.0, improving on my template code, vastly improving RAWR-Player AND the launch of our new website, are the biggest events of 2009. I got a lot of work done before July/August 2009, this was before I got a job so I had to keep myself amused
Also I have to say, Live 3.0.0 was the smoothest template release/build ever. From its very first version I have had no major bug reports! I am almost too scared to modify it, for fear of wrecking a masterpiece
I still think it requires at least RAWR-Player though for some streaming capability.
