Seems like every six months or so I have to help one of my kids get their pictures uploaded to Zooomr and since the last time we’ve changed computers and things don’t seem to work as they’re supposed to. Here’s a direct quote from Zooomr’s forum on how to get jUploadr working on XP with Zooomr. And note that these instructions point to an alpha version of jUploadr but this is the only one that’s worked for us.
Quick tutorial:
0. First of all, you need to install Java: http://www.java.com/en/
1. Download jUploadr alpha:
http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/juploadr/jUploadr-1.2alpha1-win32_x86.zip (Windows version)
2. Unzip it (on Windows XP just double-click the zip file and copy everything inside, e.g. to My Documents directory)
3. Run jUploadr.exe
4. Choose Edit -> Account -> New account on Zooomr (or something similar, I have Polish version and somehow I can’t change language to English)
5. jUploadr asks for authorization, click on Authorize…
6. Page will open in your web browser, saying “jUploadr wants to link to your Zooomr Account.”, click on ALLOW ACCESS
7. You should see a page saying “You have successfully authorized the application jUploadr.”
8. Return to jUploadr and click End authorization process
9. Now you should be able to upload photos from jUploadr
My thanks to siriwan on the Zooomr forum for these fine instructions.
This is one of those tips I use so little in Quicksilver that I keep forgetting it. Here’s how to set a default selection for a command in Quicksilver thanks to Lifehacker…
Quicksilver lovers who are sick of arrow-ing down QS’s list of suggestions for a keyword can manually set an item as the default. For example, if you want typing “tex” to open TextWrangler and not TextEdit, Ctrl+click on TextWrangler on the suggestion list and choose “Set as Default for TEX.” Quicksilver’s pretty smart about figuring out what you want most of the time based on usage frequency, but for those rare cases when it doesn’t, this’ll do the trick.
