Meet the KoffeeWare team at PMA 2010

To be held this week, PMA is the place to be when it comes to discussing between photography industrials and professionnals. Dealing with online photofinishing tools or other topics, we’d be glad to meet and chat with potential partners as well as with customers.

PMA 2010

Firefox users: make sure your Java VM is up-to-date

Starting in Firefox 3.6, Mozilla foundation will drop support on OJI (Open Java Virtual Machine Integration) and will only support the standard NPAPI and NPRuntime interfaces. The Java Plug-in which is in Java version 6 update 10 or newer versions supports the NPAPI and NPRuntime interfaces.

Therefore, starting with Firefox 3.6, Java-based applets, among which KoffeePhoto and its online applets, will NOT work unless you are running Java version 6 Update 10 or newer.

Firefox 3.6 is planned for release in december 2009.

By default, Java updates automatically but if you are not sure what version of Java you are running, check your version.

Adresses électroniques des utilisateurs français de KoffeePhoto

De nombreux utilisateurs de KoffeePhoto utilisent des comptes sur wanadoo.fr, tele2.fr et club-internet.fr.

Suite à divers rachats et fusions d’activité, les adresses électroniques créées sur ces domaines sont progressivement supprimées par les fournisseurs. Pensez à mettre votre compte KoffeePhoto à jour. Dans le cas contraire, vous ne recevriez plus vos notifications pour les nouvelles photos partagées, ni, le cas échéant, votre notification d’échéance de votre abonnement KoffeePhoto Premium.

Du côté de KoffeePhoto, les comptes dont les adresses électroniques renvoient un message d’erreur voient l’adresse électronique considérée comme non validée. Il convient alors de la modifier et de la valider à nouveau.

Cela concerne bien sur aussi d’autres services Internet où votre adresse électronique serait enregistrée. Pensez-y avant que cela ne vous pose des soucis.

Cracked KoffeePhoto

We often read about the availability of a cracked version of the KoffeePhoto software.

Downloading and using a cracked version of KoffeePhoto does not make any sense as the KoffeePhoto desktop photo manager software is free, totally free. The paying option, KoffeePhoto Premium is a server side option for more storage and online photo backup features. Check detailed information about KoffeePhoto features. More, the official KoffeePhoto software is the only version that updates automatically for you to benefit from our latest developments and fixes.

The KoffeePhoto software is signed using a certificate issued by Thawte Code Signing CA delivered to KoffeeWare. You may check this certificate on the Java control panel.

So, for your data safety and integrity, make sure to use the official KoffeePhoto software. Download KoffeePhoto from the koffeephoto.com software or from strongly reputated download platforms such as download.com.

If you have any doubt, you may also use the KoffeePhoto service online without downloading any software. While the interface is slightly different, you will benefit from almost the same features. More, some features are only available online anyway.

Recent browser updates have no consequences on KoffeePhoto

In the last days, almost all popular browsers have received an update.

On PC, Internet Explorer moved to version 8, Google’s Chrome moved to version 2.0, Flock moved to version 2.5, Apple’s Safari moved to version 3.2.3 and Mozilla Firefox move to version 3.5 is highly awaited. Our testing did not reveal any problem with KoffeePhoto’s JavaScript based functions or with KoffeePhoto’s Java based modules such as the photo uploader or the photobook composer.

Go on sharing photos happily!

New KoffeePhoto version supports tags and rating

We’ve just released a new version of the online service of KoffeePhoto. This version provides a major evolution in terms of navigation as we’ve included support of tags and rating.

A two-level tag navigation is provided, you may navigate in your tags or in public tags. Of course, private photo albums remain private even if tagged. The main tag page can be a good start for a navigation.

As this change only affects the online service, no download of a KoffeePhoto software update is required.

As usual, your feedback is welcome.

Online photobook creation now available

photobook

We’ve now released our online photobook composer. This tool allows for online creation of photobooks using photos stored on your KoffeePhoto account or simply using photos stored on your hard disk. Photobooks are created in a semi-automatic mode requiring only a few clicks to get a first result. Editing functions allow for a picture-by-picture fine enhancing of the result.

More powerful editing functions are to be added in the future.

All operations are conducted online requiring no software to download and to install. Thanks to this online operation, the photobook composer is also available on all platforms, Linux, MacOS and Windows.

KoffeePhoto photobooks are currently only available in France.

Check your Internet connection speed

Photo sharing is a Internet connection bandwidth savvy activity. While we are doing our best to provide a state-of-the-art performance level by running a powerful storage and distribution architecture, you may be getting poor response. Here are some questions you should ask yourself. How much bandwidth am I actually using? How can I identify a bottleneck? Am I getting the Internet speeds promised by my ISP or is it just time to consider a new computer?

These may seem like basic questions, but they can not be easily answered.

As an independant tool, Measurement Lab (M-Lab) provides a platform for researchers to deploy Internet measurement tools in order to share data about their accuracy and reliability. Measurement Lab is a brainchild of Google, the New America Foundation’s Open Technology Institute (OTI), and the PlanetLab consortium.

Measurement Lab also provides tools for users to test their Internet connection speed. The Network Diagnostic Tool allows for testing your connection speed and receive sophisticated diagnosis of problems limiting speed.
