Late last year, I blogged about the beta release of Hyves Desktop. In about half-a-year, the application has grown much more than just helping folks upload images to Hyves. It now has some very interesting features to help you spice up your photos. Here is a short video demo showing off some of them:
You can download the app for free from http://hyves.nl/hyvesdesktop/download (but you need to have joined Hyves (for free again) before you can download it).
A lot of work has gone into this 1.2 release from the Hyves Desktop team: Arend, Boud, Girish, Markus and self. We’ve also designed the application in a unique way – the main screen’s ui is in html/js, with each core functionality coded in C++ and integrated into the app as a Qt/Webkit plugin.
We can already see how popular the pimping and effects features are, by the sheer number of photos in Hyves tagged gepimpt. Keep em coming, folks.
One thing that got missed out in the video is that the new version also supports autoplay on Windows. If you connect your camera, Windows will provide you an option to import it into Photo Uploader and you can then upload it to Hyves
Cool work guys.. looks very good

What desktop screen capture tool did you guys use?
Thanks, Prashanth. The basic screen capture was with ScreenCam, and the panning, zooming et al. were added afterwards while editing with Windows Movie Maker.
Wow, its awesome

What desktop screen capture tool did you guys use?
Hi, we are creating an application for which we need to develop an
offline uploader similiar to what you have for hyves. Desktop
development is not our forte. Can you give me some pointers as to
which direction I should look at? Are there any companies/individuals
you know who provide solutions?
Any help is appreciated!
