Archives for April, 2009

You may notice that next time you log into the humyo web-based file manager that things look a little different. In our continuing effort to make the humyo experience as pleasant as possible for you, the user, we’ve had a long hard look through the range of icons that we use. As of today we have refreshed the entire set, adding our own style to each and every one.

A sample of the new range:

You may also notice that we are supporting the ‘Share Icon Project‘. The idea of the project being to support a single standard visual representation of the concept of sharing, be it with services like Twitter or Facebook, or with your friends directly through humyo. By supporting the share icon project we hope to help make this symbol synonymous with the idea of sharing, both on humyo and throughout the internet.

You can learn more about the share icon project over on there site found here.

Two changes worth noting in this release:
The asynchronous core change has made the UI much more responsive.
The UAC crash was a major annoyance for users who were affected by it.

• Fixed a crash which happens when running an app which uses explorer (and our shell extensions) as administrator with UAC enabled.
• Show welcome guide when status is synced (as well as syncing; this is to cover the case where there are no files anywhere and we go straight to “synced” status without going through “syncing” status.)
• Fixed the problem with “there are conflicts” not being displayed when pending files list is not visible.
• Fixed a problem with the background in status dialog not getting redrawn properly.
• Another fix to deal with MS Word’s file modifying habits.
• Large icons in status dialog are now brandable.

+ All the common changes.

The main changes in this release are an improved status dialog with progress information and some sync changes which make the sync run faster and eat up less CPU time.

• Branding changes: Large buttons in status dialog, progress bar background colour and icons in status bar are now brandable.
• Paired folders in USB drives wil now get set up correctly even if humyo autostarts before the drive starts working.
• Same-side merging: Multiple directories with the same path are merged by the sync.
• Fixed some crashes in the 64-bit version of the shell extensions.
• Dialogs won’t update as much when they are not visible.
• Reduced the amount of non-error messages in log files.
• If sync is restarted, “files done” and “bytes done” won’t reset to 0.
• Fixes for filename case-sensitivity.
• List of files in “pending files” dialog is now sorted sensibly (i.e. not ASCIIbetical order).
• Sync can now deal with file identity changes happening when files are moved.
• Fixed some hang-on-exit problems.
• UI will not hang indefinitely when connection drops.
• Attempting to log in for the first time with a bad password will not show a messed-up welcome guide (or a functional welcome guide either; it will wait for a successful login).
• Running a free trial for the first time will just show the free trial dialog (the welcome guide will wait until the free trial dialog is gone).
• Logging out will close all web dialogs and the large folders dialog.
• Web dialogs will show a message box if the page can not be displayed.
• Logging out and logging in with different users will not cause the client to get confused about whether it should show its free trial dialog.
• Status dialog will not claim it is working offline when sync starts.
• New icon for pending moves and deletes in pending files dialog.
• Browser control in status dialog will disappear less often.
• Fixed a hang caused by changing paired folders with an explorer window open.
• MS Word’s unusual document saving habits are now indulged: sync will not be stuck in a state that it can’t finish, and file identites will not change.
• Total of “files done” and “files to do” in progress dialog is more stable.
• Status dialog is less likely to show an “Internet explorer can not display the web page” page.
• Users who select “reboot later” in the “you need to reboot” dialog in the installation and then try to use the application without rebooting will not get a ridiculous error message (they get a non-ridiculous error message).
• New icon for pending moves and deletes in the “pending files” dialog.
• Pending files dialog will not display the incomplete sentence “0 bytes transferred at” for files in the started state.
• Status dialog is more likely to display time remaining instead of “Calculating time remaining”.
• Icon animation starts even earlier.
• “Next” button in the welcome guide now works properly, even with IE’s security warnings on the maximally irritating setting. (This is fixed on the server).
• Attempting to log in for the first time with a bad password won’t cause the client to get stuck in a half-logged-in state.
• Tray icon animation will not fail to start at application startup.
• New Welcome guide and set-up wizard on installation.
• Simplified status dashboard showing process and accurate time remaining to complete sync with comforter text when sync will takelong time.
• Icon overlays are recursive (icon on folder indicates status of everything below it).
• Various bug fixes for sync correctness included.

Wir haben einige Änderungen an unseren WorkSpace Accounts vorgenommen. Snapshots werden vom neuen (Datei) Versionsverlauf ersetzt und ermöglicht es Ihnen, ganz einfach beliebig viele alte Versionen Ihrer Dateien anzuschauen und wenn gewünscht wiederherzustellen bzw. herunterzuladen.
Dieses Feature können Sie ganz einfach über den Datei Manager erreichen und bedienen.
Klicken Sie einfach mit der rechten Maustaste auf die gewünschte Datei und schon können Sie die alten Versionen
wiederherstellen. Alle alten gespeicherten Versionen Ihrer Dateien, werden von Ihrem Speicherplatz Volumen abgezogen.

Wir starten das Jahr mit neuen Funktionen und zahlreichen Verbesserungen wie z.B. einer überarbeiteten Filemanager Weboberfläche, die es erlaubt mit den Browser Buttons zu navigieren und Verzeichnisse zu verlinken. Das ermöglicht Ihnen direkt aus der Adresszeile Ihres Browsers heraus, Links zu verschicken bzw. Verzeichnisse zu bookmarken, was das Teilen von Dateien bzw. Ordnern viel einfacher macht.

Weitere Neuigkeiten werden wir in Kürze hier veröffentlichen.

Wir wünschen ein frohes neues Jahr,

Ihr humyo.de Team

“Pour voyager léger et avoir mes fichiers à portée de main, j’utilise des services de stockage en ligne (comme humyo.fr). J’y dépose mes documents, mais aussi les vidéos ou photos relatives aux productions en cours. C’est d’autant plus pratique que je peux les partager ensuite avec les équipes avec lesquelles je travaille. Il me suffit d’indiquer le mail de la personne à qui j’accorde l’accès au dossier, et le tour est joué. Les fichiers sont protégés par le cryptage utilisé par les banques en ligne, donc je n’ai aucune crainte !”
