Phew! What a week this has been. With Wisen Up out on the App Store, it’s been one roller-coaster ride. It’s really nice to see this personality quiz cum infotainment app picking up steadily. Yeah, and we owe it all to you, of course. Do show us your support by downloading the app, rating it and giving us your feedback, so that we can work on improving it. There are some great reviews on Wisen Up, which I shall cover in my next post. This post is mainly dedicated to tell you what we have been upto and what’s up. :)

First, what we have been upto. Of late, there have been some problems faced by some of our users of Voila Mac screen capture tool after updating to the latest version 2.1. Also, we have been testing Voila on Snow Leopard and also in the OS upgrade scenarios. Well the good news is, in most of the cases we have been able to identify the issues, a big thanks to our Customers who have been cooperative in troubleshooting. The bug fix is in progress and hopefully in the next few weeks we should have an update ready for release. So go ahead, continue using your Voila, bug-free (pun totally intended ;) ) and send us some of your creations. We would love to showcase them on our site and on Flickr.

Just recently I downloaded some great High Quality videos using Web2 Delight. To make things even better, we have slashed the price of Web2 Delight to $9.95! Isn’t that just fab? It’s amazing how you can download your favorite videos from any video sharing sites from one location. I have created my own collection of some of my favorite videos using the organizer in the application.

We have released a new version of WordDigest, an English dictionary, thesaurus and spell checker app for your iPhone and iPod touch. This useful reference app has got a facelift with new interface along with some new features too. You can now add quick notes to the words, solve Crosswords and Anagrams on the fly, and learn few new words everyday. It’s a free update to the existing users, while the new users would pay just $1.99. The new version is available on the App Store, download it now and don’t forget to send us your feedback.

Well, next is what’s up. Hmmmm….. I shan’t tell you anything yet. Let’s see how good you are at guessing. :) Here’s the hint to what we are upto next:

What's up?

Not really great at Cryptography, but there’s always a first time. :)
So keep guessing what’s up.
Until then, Peace! :)

Salut! Comment êtes-vous tous? Vous serez heureux de savoir que nous avons maintenant Voila en français. Whoops, that’s as far as I can go with my smattering of French, guess I should have been more regular to my French classes (Sniff :-( ). Well to my non-french friends, the first few lines says that we now have a French version of Voila. Yay, I know :-) . Here is what the UI of the French version of Voila looks like when you first launch it:

The French version of Voila has been a long time dream of ours and a long time gripe of our French users. And this dream is now a reality, thanks to our many friends who helped us make this come true. This version is out now bundled along with the English version, with a few minor bug fixes. To know more about Voila and how to use it, new users can click here. Do remember that although the application is in French, the support will be in English. This version is for you my dear French users, do use it and let us know if you have any suggestions.

Merci et paix :)

Voila screen capture- In the spotlight

I know things have been pretty quiet from Voila. Well that’s because we have been busy working on our new entertainment based iPhone/iPod touch app, Wisen Up. Wisen Up is a fun app which is going to keep you hooked. It’s going to hit the App Store soon, so be sure to get your copy. But enough of that now. Although we haven’t spoken to you in a while regarding Voila, reviewers have been hard at it; reviewing it, and loving every bit of it. Let’s see what Michael Shaw of MaUsE has to say about Voila:

My impression is that the program is hugely rewarding and entertaining as well as an effective tool for capturing and working with images. I suggest you have a look at the Global Delight’s website and download a 30-day demo of Voila. Find out what the fuss is about. Macworld likes Voila. Apple likes Voila. I like it and you will, too. No matter what else you do with your Mac, the ability to record what is on your Desktop is as basic to the Mac OS as copy / paste. This program makes the most out of screen capture and it will definitely make a difference to how you harvest images off your Desktop and what you can do with them.

We also have Bob from Mac 101. According to him,

There are many ways to do screen capture on the Mac, ranging from OS X’s built-in functionality to utilities, such as Skitch. But, if you need a tool that allows you to capture, edit and organize screen captures then Voila from Global Delight is an application you should look at. If you do a lot of screen captures, edit those captures using PhotoShop or other editing applications, then Voila is definitely something to consider to help streamline and optimize your workflow process.

You can read the full review here.

So get going, grab your copy of Voila now and unleash your creativity!

Peace! :-)

Uploading to FTP with Voila

July 27th, 2009
Add comments

Uploading work via FTP is an important aspect of work for many. Thus we decided to integrate it with Voila. However, some of our users got back to us as they were unsure how to upload an image via FTP to a specific folder other than the root folder. So we thought why not write about it to make matters simple.

As you know, when you have an image ready to be uploaded, you have to first configure your FTP account by entering details such as the Account name, Server URL, User name and Password. Once done, the images will be uploaded to the root folder whenever you select the publish via FTP option.

Uploading via FTP to the root folder

But what if you want to upload an image to a specific folder in the FTP? Mention the specific folder name in the Server URL field in Voila Preferences. Add a forward slash (/) after the Server URL and mention the name of the folder (/Folder name); the same is shown below:

Uploading via FTP to a specific folder

If you want to change the folder, you just have to change the folder name, and the images will be uploaded to the folder mentioned. Now ain’t that easy?

You will get to see some great uploading options in our upcoming release, making uploading and publishing with Voila a mere breeze.

In the name of Charity

Charity is a virtue of the heart. And you find many people today who wholeheartedly want to help others without any other ulterior motive. Before you wonder what we are yapping about, let us tell you what we mean. We came across this fund raising campaign, The Pan-Mass Challenge, started by Seth Dillingham. The objective is to raise funds for The Jimmy Fund, a cancer care and treatment charity. Seth raises awareness for this cause by biking across the state of Massachusetts. He intends to raise $10,000 for this cause.

So the question arises where do we fit in all this. The funds for this charity are raised by selling Mac software in bundles, donated by interested developers. And we at Global Delight are proud to say that we have donated licenses of Voila for this cause. May we take this opportunity to request our fellow Mac software developers out there to be a part of this cause. This is also a chance for all you users to contribute your mite to charity. Go ahead, build your bundle and get that satisfaction of having changed a life.

On similar lines we have the MacWeed Creative Bundle. The bundle offers 13 great Mac applications, including yours truly, intended for personal and professional use. Out of the 13 bundled apps, 7 are locked, which shall be unlocked after reaching a certain number of sales.

Here again the spotlight is not on the bundle in itself, but on the cause. Part of the proceeds of the sales generated from this bundle will go the Italian Red Cross (CRI), in an effort to help the thousands of people displaced by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake that hit the Abruzzo region of Italy a few weeks ago. The Italian Red Cross is an International society providing health care in peace and war and is part of the International Movement of the Red Cross. Buying this bundle will help millions displaced in the earthquake. When we were approached by MacWeed to include Voila in their bundle, we were at first skeptical ‘cos this was their first bundle. But when we learnt about their cause we willingly agreed to be a part of it. So go ahead and buy this bundle, because for charity, every little helps.

And do remember to check out the Voila-Tips and Tricks posted earlier and keep watching this space for more exciting news in the next three weeks.

Peace!smile
