April 29th, 2008 -- Over the last few weeks the Filemobile coders have been working hard on getting the 2.0 release ready for you. Here is a preview of the new features:
Our site builder application has undergone some major changes. It is now be called Applications, and Filemobile clients now have the ability to run multiple applications inside each project. That means you could have a Website, Facebook application, Contest Site, and or a Blog, all using the same registration system, and the same media files. How cool is that!
Because the templates interface is a place where developers spend a lot of time, and nobody really likes coding in textareas, we have improved the developer experience. We made improvements to the template editor, giving you more space to code and have added syntax highlighting and line numbers.
Previously the dashboard pages were static. We upgraded all the section homepage to show you relevant statistics about your campaign, and we made it easier to click-through to the subsections.
We have also made a lot of design improvements, including tooltips and improved consistency across the various sections.
In our never-ending search to give you new and interesting ways to gather and distribute media, we've also made some updates to the widgets feature for version 2.0. We've replaced the single file player in the widget publisher with a version that adds enhanced customization and usability. You can now control different colour, display and playback settings. We've also added in our new Webcam Recorder widget that allows you to click your way to a customized recorder that is embeddable in any of your application sites.
The biggest difference you'll notice comes in the widget publisher itself. In an effort to make creating customized widgets easier, we've added in a series of tooltips that give you relevant information for every setting you have control over. Not sure what a checkbox does? Hopefully our tooltips will provide the answers you need.
Admin functions help documentation, and project settings are now located in the function links at the bottom of your screen. Filemobile’s internal Wiki is now available in a read-only format inside the Media factory. We have pages of information on our components, and how to develop applications with the Mediafactory.
Reports have been continuously expanded and now occupy a separate tab. New additions include: Quick Stats, the ability to port data to Excel, graph & table views and access to bandwidth & storage info.
We have a feedback system now built into the tools, and look forward to hearing what you think of this new release. If you have any questions about the release please contact support@filemobile.com.
We hope you'll enjoy it!
