Post your comments for Review: Sizester lets you edit and upload your images fast here

[sizester]

We are Atek, Inc., the developer and owner of Sizester. We are not sure what upload problem the reviewer had with Flickr since all Sizester upload processes have been thoroughly tested multiple times. We of course value and appreciate receiving detailed input about any such problems from whatever sources have such information so we can make any needed corrections to the process. As for Sizester's email functionality, which is the other functionality the reviewer mentioned having problems with, it works with desktop clients such as Outlook but not with web mail such as Gmail. We presume the reviewer may have tried to use the email function with web mail. As he mentioned, for web mail the solution is simply to save the resized image and then email the image file as an attachment or copy/paste it directly into the body of an email message.

The Flickr problem is that everytime you choose the Flickr upload option, it always takes you to the Flickr authorization screen. Even if you have already authorized Flickr, it still keeps bouncing you back to the authorization screen over and over, and nothing else happens. This isn't a one-off glitch - it was tested on various different days, and the same thing kept happening.

Is this for free or with free trial only for sometime?

@MarkONeill: Thanks for this additional information. On the Flickr authorization web page, did you choose the second (right side) option (see image at http://i.imgur.com/EmrHy.jpg)? I just tested it using that option, and after I then authorized the Sizester app, Flickr said I could now close the authorization browser page, and after I did that, I checked to see if the image from Sizester had uploaded to my Flickr account and I found that indeed it had (under "Your Photostream"). Please try that process and confirm it works. If so, maybe what we need to do is try to implement a success message in Sizester to provide better confirmation of the process having completed successfully. As for your other point about asking for authorization again, the reason is because we believe it would be improper for Sizester to store user login credentials since there's really no highly secure way to do that.

@Meikah: There's a free 15 day trial (full functioning), and after that there's a one time license fee of $10 (precisely $9.95) for a single PC (and there are license packages for multiple PCs that are less than $9.95 per PC).

"The first nice thing you'll notice about Sizester is that you can drag the photo into the app using your mouse."

Shouldn't ANY Windows app that can handle the file type do that?
