Project Overview Quick Album v1.1 Create virtual picture albums Publish albums on the Web Use streaming audio and streaming video Browse images and videos with your computer Present slideshows Next Version: v1.2 (No official release date) Development Status: Active [What does this mean?] Project News Sunday, October 2, 2005 "Development paused." Quick Album has been struggling to keep up with the "free" competition that has come by since its first release. Customers have been expressing their opinions, that this application is "too complicated" for an average computer user in today's market. (We'd like to think the opposite, but with all the new and free 3-step wizards, it would seem our customers make a valid point) Therefore, more emphasis shall be placed on simplifying the interface in the future, hopefully making Quick Album more comfortable to use for a larger variety of customers. Quick Album will instead be advertised as an image publishing program geared towards slightly-above-average users. (Not that the application is actually that difficult to use, but against thosands of free programs, people have a tendency to lose interest too easily) On the flipside, Quick Album proudly offers a unique set of features that most programs do not provide in a single package. (Namely, streaming media and the customizable web kits) Resources will be focused on marketing as opposed to creating the next version for the time being. Sunday, February 8, 2004 Quick Album v1.1 already in the works! Within 3 days of Quick Album's first public debut, people have already sent in some interesting ideas and suggestions. (Please keep them coming!) With that being the case, v1.1 will be coming shortly. Possibly within the following week! The core documentation was missed in the first release. This will definitely be fixed in v1.1. In the meantime, please feel free to post your questions in the Quick Album Message Forum. Please keeping sending in your feedback and suggestions so that Quick Album can keep improving! Thursday, February 5, 2004 Quick Album v1.0 released! Finally, Quick Album has made its way towards the first public release and is available for download. A special thanks to all the people who participated in the testing phase, for all their hard work, patience, and helpful suggestions. Several, unplanned features made their way into v1.0, including support for streaming video and streaming audio in web albums! But.. there is still much more planned for Quick Album's future. This is merely the beginning! Future versions are scheduled to offer better documention, an even more improved user interface, and of course more and more features. Stay tuned for further progress. * Feel free to stop by the Message Forum to ask questions, make suggestions, and discuss the program with other Quick Album patrons!
