Announcing Delicious Library 1.5










Everyone at Delicious Monster has been hard at work for the past several months on Delicious Library 1.5, a free upgrade that will be made available on April 29th. For the new version we've focused in three major areas – Tiger support, internationalization, and bug fixes.

Mac OS X Tiger is right around the corner and Delicious Library 1.5 has been optimized to run flawlessly with it. We've also added new features to take advantage of the many new exciting Tiger technologies including Spotlight and Dashboard.

If you live outside of the United States or do not speak English, you have not been forgotten. Delicious Library 1.5 has been translated into five new languages and is now able to natively import items from around the world.

Delicious Library users have been very helpful tracking down bugs and sending in bug reports. We have been taking these reports very seriously: reading each one, prioritizing them, and fixing the top issues one by one. With Delicious Library 1.5, we've fixed dozens and dozens of these bugs and continued to improve performance.

Delicious Library 1.5 will be available on April 29th and will be a completely free upgrade. We think everyone is going to really love it.

Amen to that request.

Also, not to be nit-picky, but isn't the current term for "internationalization", "localization"?

: )

Finally, I can't tell you how excited I am for this release!

Nice video, although it doesn't show up properly in Firefox.

Hi,

Have you thought of people who are on dial-up and cannot afford broadband for a number of reasons?

Your Web page does not really mentions what Delicious Library does.

What are the other languages included ?

how is the spotlight animation done?
Javascript with a PNG and the new composite tag?

Danny. If it were me i'd use CoreImage. Just my thing though.

And whoever mentioned this...
The webpage definitely tells you what the application does. It has plenty of text in there. lots of screen shots (last i checked you could easily view screenshots even on dialup). Can't blame people for using bandwidth, quite a few people have it, if you don't well, read the text on the page, it gives you damn near any info you would want. The languages however is a valid question.

If this supports Australian ISDN lookup I'll be so glad - I've been wanting to get this program for my dad for ages but can't until I know it'll work.

No offense, but why bother with a Dashboard widget if it's that slow to search your library?

The movie is 12 seconds long and ends up just taking you to Delicious Library anyway. In that amount of time, I could have already launched the program via Butler with a few keystrokes, plugged in the Pixar search as shown in the video, and gotten to exactly what I needed (I just tested this and it took exactly eleven seconds).

I hope that's Snapz Pro X slowing it down, or we're talking seriously pathetic speed.

I think Ricky is right. I don't know if i'll use the widget as much if I can just open Library faster.

I live how it looks though in the video

Silas, as I understand it, internationalization and localization are two related but distinct activities. Internationalization refers to the general process of adapting a product to use multiple potential languages/locales, while localization refers to the process of adding support for a specific language/locale. So, for example, if the text in an application can be displayed in both English and French, you might say that it is an internationalized application that has been localized for the English and French languages.

Internationalization and localization, of course, can encompass much more than just support for multiple languages: currency, date/time, number formatting, address and phone number handling, etc.

So, this will be free, but will 2.0 be free?

9:30 PM, April 26, 2005  
Anonymous Kyle said...

They've already said 1.5 will be free, but 2.0 will cost again. Whether that's totally final is beyond me, but they'll announce that one when they're totally ready to. I'm hoping they offer a cheap upgrade solution for those of us with 1.x. I can't see paying another $40 for it, in fact I just won't pay $40 for it, i'll stick to 1.5 and call it quits until the app no longer functions. I already felt $40 was a bit high for 1.1 when I bought it.

I felt the same way. In fact I just bought it only because the team seemed to have a good product now, and a great product in the future. I needed something to sort my stuff. I hope that 1.5 is at least less buggy than 1.1. There are not many big bugs in it, just lots of small ones.

Dashboard widget: unacceptably slow.
When is 2.0 coming? Will it be 10.3 compatible? I'm waiting to catalog my entire CD collection so I can just put the disc in and have DeLib and iTunes both recognize the disc and work from the same DB or iTunes lookup.

Since the program is now available in Dutch, will there also be a lookup source for Dutch isbn's?

Just saw that 1.5 came out and it supports amazon.co.uk! Downloaded, installed and registered within a few minutes. Great stuff!

1.5 works great. I didn't even have to do anything and it changed all the amazon.com links to amazon.ca! Also the dashboard widget is much faster than that quicktime mov shows.

The Borrowers Panel still won't stay down. I don't use that feature and so I like it down but it never sticks.

I've noticed several sites on the Internet that promote a penis enlargement through "ancient" techniques of strengthening (and yes, lengthening) the penis through exercises. These sites claim that since the penis is a muscle, it can be conditioned and exercised for greater and permanent length and girth. Is this possible?

Very nice, well thought out software, but you're gonna have to pay Gracenote their dues soon, and stop relying on Amazon's (incomplete) information. Covers can be found easily, but a Gracenote powered track listing would improve this no end.

I would love to use Delicious Library as a launcher for my ripped movies. I've invested a lot of time and energy into ripping my movies and using my iMac mini as a media center driven by Library! I would love to double-click on a movie in Library and have it open the movie using VLC or QuickTime Player. Integration with CenterStage(http://centerstageproject.com/) and Front Row (http://www.apple.com/imac/frontrow.html) would be awesome as well! Any plans for this in 2.0? What's in store for 2.0, anyway?

Are you folks aware of LibraryThing, which lets users post book catalogs via a Web interface? When I first saw it, I thought, uh oh.....trouble for DL, but the more I looked the less I was impressed. It does not appear to be able to import data from existing catalogs, and I am NOT going to input all those ISBNs again!

OMG! I saw, I tried, I bought. Unbelievable. I have looked at and tried other cataloging programs, and this is it. It even is frindly with my Alchemy video capture card and the iSight, which I couldn't get ot work with other programs. The interface, the little added import touches ("I am your father"), the ease-of-use, it's so fun to use. I'm sorry, I really can't say enough about this program. Where have you been all my life?
