Some goodies coming

Posted by Andrea under News

I had a chance to update my local install to the latest out of trac (svn up FTW) and I poked around to look at the upcoming goodies.

Google Gears - didn’t try it out (does it work with Linux?), but the concept of storing common admin-area files in one place? Rocks.

Theme page pagination - so, so very sweet. There’s even a preview, which was kinda of slow on my end, but has more to do with me (I hope) than the code. The only downside was it appeared to mess up the alphabetization of the themes list, and only 15 themes on a page was possible too little. My local install, where I check out any theme I might like, has a total of 23 themes pages. I did notice themes were starting to be tagged, so if this means there’s a possiblity to sort themes by that, then again I think that’s awesome.

    Looks like some nice goodies indeed!

    How’s the stability?
    and yes, Google Gears does work on Linux (according to the website, though I would assume the Google Gears code base is very similar to the Mac version, which works a treat).

    Considering that many wpmu installs keep their screencaps as 100kb png files, maybe 15 of them on a page isn’t that many. I’ve seen sites that have hundreds of themes with huge screencaps and the theme page takes eons to download. And that’s off an oc-192.

    I put up the latest TRAC and wondered up Google Gears since you have to install it for every single blog you use on your WPMU install. That was the only thing that seemed strange since it is the same for all blogs anyways :) I personally like the theme pagination as well and it does work well. My only issue has been with not being able to stay logged in browsing between blogs on the front end. I do stay logged in while moving around the dashboard though. Really strange….
