New version of Mimi Uploader is out 🎉

The latest version of Mimi Uploader is out. Here's what's new:

• Recent Uploads entries will scroll to first image that doesn't have alt text. So as you add alt text to a large batch of images, you won't have to scroll to the farthest one each time. Check it out in this video (also embedded below).
• For accounts that have a tweets archive, do not show it as an upload destination.
• Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Mimi Uploader Now Supports Alt Text for Recent Uploads 🎉

You can now write alt text for any image in Recent Uploads. Tap on an image. Write the text. Hit Save. This is attached to the export snippet at the time of export.

• Support for both export options, Markdown and HTML.
• It can be filtered in the Recent Uploads with the filter button on the top right.
• Not familiar with Alt Text? The editor includes a short summary with links to more information.
• As part of this Recent Uploads has been redesigned to show every image in proper aspect ratio and with an indicator to show whether it has alt text attached.

Also in this release:

• Fix for issue with image orientation being messed up when uploading in rare cases.
• Small UI improvements related to the alt text feature.

Grateful to @maique, @pratik, @pcora, and others for help with testing and fixing issues in this release 🙏

Mimi Uploader now offers more options for image processing and exporting 🎉

• You can now change the size of images you upload to any size you like. You can also change the JPG compression quality. These features can be found in the redesigned Image preferences screen in Settings -> Image.
• Export preferences have a new option to wrap exported images in links to themselves. Find it in Settings -> Export.

You can find these in the new version that is out today.

I hope you like and use these features as much as I do. Let me know what you think 😊

P.S. Note that this release does not contain the support for Alt Text that I talked about a few weeks ago. I'm still working on that and should have that ready in the coming weeks.

Mimi Uploader 2022.0 is out with new features for Recent Uploads 🎉

Recent Uploads used to show only the uploads you make from Mimi Uploader. With the new update it will also show uploads made to your Micro.blog account from anywhere else.

Mimi is primarily a batch uploader and that is my favorite way of using it. I like to make blog posts that have a set of photos, and making that process smoother was the motivation to create Mimi in the first place. As such, each batch of photos shows up in Recent Uploads as a set.

The other uploads to a Micro.blog account are only accessible as individual images and are shown inline with the sets of Mimi uploads in the same reverse chronological list. A badge is used to indicate one type or another. There are other minor UI differences between the two types in the list, e.g. Mimi uploads shows a count of images. On the top right is a filter button that lets you filter for one type or another, if you choose to do so. The screenshots below show the new interface.

Exporting still works the same way with a right swipe. Sets of uploads made from Mimi can still be deleted with a left swipe. As always this only deletes the batch from Mimi and doesn't affect the uploaded images. Other uploads don't offer the deletion because they are representing the images on Micro.blog and not an uploaded set.

I hope you like this update as much as I liked making it.
