In this version there are some fixes and a couple new features. I’ve been working a lot this summer so development has been slow. But now I should be able to maintain Imgdl more frequently as well as post some of the other projects I’ve been working on.

I’ve been toying with the idea of a donation button on Imgdl to raise money for a Macbook Pro. What do you guys think?

I code Imgdl on my laptop in a windows environment, so far the only MAC I have is the iMac which is based at my house. Now that I am home more I will continue development on the MAC and Linux versions. My goal is to also have a dual booting MacBook.

Fixes

• The progress bar during downloads would sometimes not appear, this has been fixed.
• Program would throw an exception if there was no Internet connection. This has been fixed.
• Even with trying to bring form into view when out of bounds, some users still had issues with Imgdl still disappearing beyond the screen’s dimensions on multi-screen environments, an option to have Imgdl start center screen instead of remembering the position has been added. This also a feature with the new system tray icon, described below in new features.
• Performance fixes with memory.

New features

• Added an option to not remember form position. This would allow Imgdl to always start in center screen (Primary monitor).
• Added the system ‘Recently Used List’ to the download path. This should make selecting folders easier when you change paths frequently. I was considering creating a ‘favorites’ option. This way you could pick as many favorite download locations and select them easily. *This feature is only active when the ‘path to save directory’ in options is blank*
• Added a system tray icon. The option to center to screen should help ‘find’ Imgdl if it is out of bounds. This should center the form to the current monitor it is on.

This is being released before I felt it was ready but, for some reason that I haven’t investigated seems to be the only version allowing downloads from Imgur. They have been changing some of their base code lately and I have been playing catch up.

The only known problem with this version is at the end of the download, there WILL be some unresponsiveness with the app. I am aware of this and will fix it for v0.34. This is just to get you folks downloading again.

I have been altering some of the threading procedures in the app and this known bug was being worked on.

Let me know if any other problems arise from this version.
