Dev Channel Update: 0.12.433.28

Dev Channel has been updated to version 0.12.433.28. The Chrome browser
version is 12.0.742.22.

8 comments:

  1. UI has been fixed, SD card can now be read, other graphical changes, such as in the file browser.

  2. So is the new color change intentional? I feel like this comment indicates the top bar's supposed to revert back to black, eventually:

    On the other hand, the issue's marked fixed . . .

    I think I like the old battery icon better.

    I can see why the UI team dropped the AM/PM, probably superfluous.

    I'm still annoyed how the window switcher icon fails to work in the corners:

    Yes, I also think the file browser's coming along (I hope and assume we'll have previews for pdfs, docs, etc. some day).

    Here's an aside. I think Media Player got axed from about:flags, a while ago. Does anyone think it's ever coming back, or is it going the way of the Gdrive (in favor of online players)?

  3. Just spotted a new extension.

    Picasa Uploader:

    "Not for general use. This is for testing only." . . .

  4. The Picasa Uploader seems to work from the media browser, as I took a screenshot and had the option to upload it to Picasa from the File Shelf. It'll likely be bundled with Chrome OS.

  5. Ah, yes. Thanks for pointing this out, Nick. I gave the uploader a quick peek, and I like where it's headed. I especially like the bulk file upload (seems like I remember having to upload files one at a time, at some point).

    Also, I see the slideshow feature's been reintroduced (although, I may have just missed it on the past build or two). I think we have to select which files we want to view in it, rather than the viewer simply selecting all pictures in the folder.

    Finally, I think both features currently show up in the ctrl+m viewer only (rather than in the ctrl+o viewer, as well).

  6. Hmm...I like this new look. Also, the OS is being really smooth so far!

  8. Anyone else have to disable and enable the wi-fi before gmail will load?? I've had this issue for a long while. I've recently switched to Dev Mode (battery compartment) and back after being annoyed with the lengthy frowning laptop warning screen. SO the stateful partition has been cleared a couple times. It's mainly GMail and sometimes Facebook.
