We’re listening…

November 18th, 2008

Recently, one of our users made a feature setting suggestion which we will take into consideration and will in all likelihood implement in one of our subsequent releases. The suggestion involved cacatoo remembering the audio/video settings in the Capture Video function so that users needn’t have to enter the same information multiple times.

Meanwhile, if there are any other suggestions you may have, please don’t hesitate to use the feedback tool on either our application or the website or for that matter, the blog! We’re here and we’re listening.

cacatoo update: stability fixes

October 7th, 2008

The latest update to cacatoo includes many stability fixes. Included in the update are the following:

• Especially addressed to our Download.com users, this update automatically downloads the wmencoder that allows users to record video. Our previous installer restricted these users.
• Replacing the read me text file with a web help file instead.
• Incorporating a German help file for our German users.

We will update our Download.com page with the new updated installer, shortly.

Development Updates

September 1st, 2008

If you’re a Mac user, and think “wait a minute, where’s my product?”, you can stop thinking about it; development of cacatoo’s Mac version is currently underway.

Meanwhile, we’ve also been busy putting up the application into various web directories including Download.com and Tucows. As noted below, you can now download the application first, and register later.

If you face any problems during the installation process or in terms of usability, or want to suggest possible improvements, here’s the place to do it!

Please note: Users of Firefox 3 will notice installation disruptions with Silverlight; this is a problem with the browser itself and is in no way related to cacatoo. Silverlight 2 will solve that problem. Users on Firefox 2 and below and Internet Explorer/Safari users are precluded from this issue.

cacatoo emails being rerouted to Junk

August 22nd, 2008

All users registering from Yahoo email accounts have been seeing their registration emails being routed directly to the junk email folder; this problem is not present on any other email provider, e.g. Hotmail, Gmail, AOL, etc. Please rest assured, we are trying to solve this problem asap. We’ll put up a post when it’s done.

Need cacatood? Bad ass tips to get cacatoo working for you!

August 21st, 2008

We’ve got a few “bad ass” tips to help you navigate around cacatoo. In our last post, we mentioned a new feature: assigning multiple keys as a single hotkey. This is demonstrated below:

Another thing you may have noticed if you’ve been using our beta versions, is the ability of registering directly through the application.

Clicking the link will redirect you to this window:

Entering your email address here saves you the need of registering on the site first. The advantage? You can use the product in its offline state before using our online version to upload and share your captures. Or save them locally and manually attach them with your emails or within IM applications. But it’s a lot easier to just send a link.

We’ll leave it to you now to try things out and experiment…
