Hi guys, last year I very much wished to take part in NaGaCreMo 2011 but never got around to it as I was a much a freshmen...
Now a year later I feel much more confident and actually have a realistic project which is not just for fun but a commercial product… Hence the copyright stuff… Sorry.
Ok, I am always uploading files especially large files more and more now… to my web-site… while there are applications to use for this I feed they are tedious… and time consuming to work with… for many reasons…
I therefore decided to make an application that makes life easier for me and then thought why not make it commercial and for everybody?
Before I go into the features, here’s how I plan to make it commercial…
There are 4 editions at present, although I have some more ideas down the pipeline…
1- Free, yup a limited functionality edition so like a demo to show you how it works.
2- £5, Consumer level price point with Group A functions, for all user types.
3- £15, Business level distribution edition for Businesses with branding.
4- £20, Dual distribution with Consumer and Business editions combined.
I will input more data here after dinner tonight in about 3 hours give or take.
I wanted to get this posted for day one of the challenge and hey what would a WIP be without a screen shot?
The buttons are not laid out yet nor the input boxes but I assure you I already have a fully working ALPHA. This image is still yet to be implemented into the app and I need to make it modular too.
So yeah I also plan to get a demo out for everyone within the next few days just need to get SPP sorted soon I am currently in discussion with the maker Michael as I need to make a video to show what I am doing and see if he can help fix my auto update issues…
Once that little snag is complete I will upload a demo for all to download and use. Will make it limited in functionality of course until I release a full edition… maybe I will disable the beta one and force it to make you download the new full release edition…
Feature list to come shortly as well as more of a description.
Thank you for now and do obviously come back for updates I should be making updates daily.
There is yet much to do and as said I have it working, just need to iron out the UI and functions. As well as distribution system.
EDIT
I may take a while to implement each area for a few days got a lot of posting leaflets to do for my shop... and technology has not been kind to me recently... my phone just died on me...
The UI is being designed to be as user friendly as possible and reduce confusion.
FEATURE LIST-
For free edition:
Manual entry of link URL [www.domain/folder/]
Manual entry of login data, ftp address/username/password
Manual entry of all additional features, and data is not saved for future uses.
Simple launch select file and upload with link output
Link is delivered after upload is complete and there is no file checking for existence and the URL is displayed in a message window not output in a text file
Application exits upon upload completion or failure
HELP MENU in all editions
more to come
Full feature Paid editions:
CONSUMER EDITION-GROUP A FUNCTIONS
Set once and save for future usage Link URL and login data
Edit each of the LINK URL and LOGIN data fields at any time
Link output before upload commences, link is stored in a text file in same folder as upload object for convenience and is launched prior to upload commencement to be manipulated however the user wishes
Links are stored internally for user to reference in future and therefore the same exe can be stored anywehere and never lose track of the data, a possiblity is also to export this data and import it as will
Files are checked for size comparison and existence post upload completion
Application does not exit on completion of file upload
a lot more to come soon.
CONSUMER + BUSINESS EDITION
Same as consumer edition with the added benefit of a prebuilt in login account and the additional manual entry fields with a switch to use one otr the other
Prebuilt in account can not be changed unless re assigned by requesting a new build or update
LANGUAGES-
I plan to make the app into a multi lingual application either dual text or singular text and load in languages based on prefix selection. [Possibly using case select here to load different languages on launch]
OH yeah this is my first WIP thread ever...

EDIT
Image and Name change...
