iPhone 3.0 compatability update & FTP Upload

An updated version is on iTunes now.  This provides the fix for the 3.0 software update, along with a means to upload your comics via FTP.  Filezilla ftp client has been fully tested for compatability and would be my suggestion (link)

 

I'll have a video tutorial on how to use the FTP upload soon.

Upload your comics via FTP

Ok, I've finally found the time to get together an alternative method for getting your comics into PullLists on your iPhone or iPod Touch.  I have now added the capability to upload via FTP.  This should be a solution to the windows users who couldnt get the Bonjour-based solution to work. 

I've just finished testing this using the FileZilla ftp client.  I plan on continuing testing with different FTP clients, but plan on pushing this out to the app store as soon as I can.  If you have a preferred FTP client please let me know here and I'll test it w/PullLists.

Currently the FTP method will only work for .cbz(or .zip) files, but I'll also have a simple utility available for converting .cbr(or .rar) files to .cbz's. 

Using this FTP method, all unarchiving and image resizing happens on the phone itself.  After the upload completes, .cbz's are unarchived and the comic is added to your readable comics in the app.  When displaying each page, the app checks the image size and resizes to the maximum supported size if neccessary. 

keep tuned in, more info to come...

update 2/23

Ok, new version of the x86 Windows client is now available... still very beta, but has been stable so far.  There are still features that i need to finish working on, but this is much more full-function than the previous version.

Windows x86 Client

  • Status windows to indicate import/export processing.
  • Interface tweaks to make more obvious when new Comics are added to the application.
  • The basic reader has been implemented and is available now to allow you to read your comics on the larger screen of your PC

Now for the 64bit version... i'm still working hard to get a Bonjour for windows solution to work, but it is not there yet.  As soon as its available I will get it to you all. 

 

::EDIT::

I've also decided to make the original Windows transfer utility available again for those of you having problems with the new Windows Pull Lists Library app. You can find the original Pull Lists Utility here

Update (2/13)

New windows clients posted, updated interface.  Now allows you to store & organize your digital comics library like you already can in the Mac app. 

I've been testing the 32-bit version of this, but don't have a 64-bit machine to test the x64 version with... so I need your feedback on bugs and issues.

There currently are some small bugs in the client which I am working on, but I wanted to get these versions out there.  Let me know what you think and check back for updates!

 ** Edit i need to find or build a 64-bit version of the zeroconfigservices.dll ... it appears this is causing crashes for 64bit windows...

Windows 64-bit - download

Windows 32-bit - download

Update 2/06

I've been made aware that the tiger builds for Pull Lists Library that I have posted don't work... Unfortunately since I work on a Leopard mac and have been developing this software for Leopard I've not actually had a Tiger install to test these on.  So what I had assumed would run in tiger... hasn't.  Sorry.

BUT! right now I am setting up a tiger install and will get to the bottom of this issue this weekend.  With any luck you Tiger folks will have a working build before the weekend is out!  Sorry for the delay in this and thank you for your patience.
