tickr for flickr 1.1 (v7)

[ Update: I work for Slide now. Don’t use tickr, use Slide! I’ve written a whole list of reasons why it’s better; plus, you using Slide directly contributes to my ability to keep eating tasty foods in San Francisco… ]

tickr 1.0 hasn’t been out for very long, but because the user response has been so positive I’ve decided to push out a 1.1 release with a little more effort on user customization. To wit:

  • The position of tickr’s window is now configurable. You can position the window on the right, left, or bottom sides of your desktop, and by desktop, I mean all of the displays which are connected to your Mac.
  • The size of tickr’s window is now configurable. Choose from Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large window sizes. tickr will scale photos appropriately for your window size. Using a smaller window size is a great way to improve performance on older Macs.
  • The window level of tickr’s window is now configurable. You can choose between Always in Front, Normal, or Always Behind.
  • tickr’s window can be made Semi-transparent, Mostly Transparent or Opaque (in other words, just like a normal window).
  • Search types are available in Photos > Search in the main menu bar.
  • Using Photos > Sort you can order your search results By Date Taken, By Date Posted, By Interestingness (the default), or By Relevance.

For a full list of What’s New, you can read the online help page. I think the most important feature in this release is the ability order results by interestingness — the quality of the images from the people on flickr is, well, astounding.

Download tickr for flickr 1.1. Requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.
