Sniper 0.5.7

Published December 16th, 2006 in Nerdering, Sniper and Sniper Updates.

This is a very minor update that only fixes the hang-on-launch that people were seeing in the previous version. Sniper was hanging because it was finding a tag in the contacts list which it didn’t expect. That should be fixed now - so if Sniper wouldn’t launch for you, try this latest build.

I can’t personally reproduce this error, so this build has very limited testing - give it a try, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll spin another build.

This problem highlights a weakness in the Flickr backend that Sniper uses - and is one of the reasons that Sniper can be difficult to update for new features. I’ve brainstormed some ideas for a better “FlickrKit” - the next Sniper update probably won’t happen until I get that kit built.

    Blake,
    I was having this problem when I tried out sniper before. This version works great for me! though finding a link to the download was a little tricky ;)

    Hi, I’ve looked everywhere but couldn’t find the system requirements for Sniper. Does it run on OSX10.3.9?

    Sorry, no, Sniper is Tiger-only.

    This one now works for me as well. Thanks for the update!

    …still would be great to see the MIT licensed release of the source code though ;-)

    It looks like there is a zero kb error that is now popping up. I just downloaded the newest version available, and all downloaded photos are 0kb in size.

    Interesting program, but after fooling with it for a while I can’t figger what it’s good for besides looking at thumbnails. It won’t let me edit any info of mine, has less info than Flickr itself, and when I click ‘Download’, it sometimes creates just a zero kb file on my computer. Also, why does this program need permission from Flickr to delete files? I saw no capabilities in the program to justify this. Maybe I’m missing something, but without any help files, it’s impossible to tell…
