Comments on: Cooliris gets local file support, Linux version

Eye candy browser add-on tool Cooliris gets a slew of new features including support for viewing local content, and better Facebook integration.

Ironically YouTube HD lagged on my computer while I was watching the video.

Im pretty happy with Picasa for Linux and Gwenview (KDE viewer) but Cooliris was THE eye candy FF extension I wanted for Linux.
Now that you can view files from your own HD, it looks this has gone from cute extension to something that could be more useful. Of course, whenever there is an update and I see a 5MB download for a browser extension, I wince a bit.

Of course, if youre gonna announce a Linux version like did on their blog, it would really help if they actually had a Linux version on their site. None of the versions offered is : http://www.cooliris.com/download-all.php

The download button on cooliris.com automatically detects your OS and browser and then serves up the Linux download. Also, try refreshing your browser, as Linux is indeed listed on the webpage you listed.

I noticed the article said local video is supported but it does not seem to be on my pc, just photos. Have others gotten local videos to show up in cooliris?

I have the same problem. The UI does not display the video folders I have on my drives. It would be nice to be able to control which folders the program should index and which ones should not. In other words, the current version only works with local images.
