Feedback to Features

Since our private beta launch, you've sent us great feedback. We converted the most popular requests and issues to new features on Xoopit. Here you go:

• People love seeing things by person (i.e. email address). We now made it easier when viewing media to quickly see what a given person has sent you. Just type in the box labeled Who. Once you are viewing stuff from a person, you can just click on their name to switch to someone else.



• You asked for more control of over sorting and filtering different views. Each of Photos, Videos and Files, now contain a View By field. This is particularly useful for Files. You can now filter to a given type whether you are searching for Word docs or any music file.



• After doing a search, when we suggest names, we now include email addresses (instead of just names).
• Video thumbnails now have titles.
• The great "hide" vs. "delete" debate has been settled. "Delete" wins! Note, that deleting from Xoopit does not delete the picture from Gmail. You can do this when hovering over a photo or video (see pic below) or when looking at an individual photo or video.



• You can disable email from Xoopit in settings.
• When using the Firefox plugin, if you log in as a different Gmail (or Google Apps) user, we log you out from Xoopit. In other words if you are happily using Gmail + Xoopit and then your sister comes over to check her Gmail account on your computer, she won't see those embarrassing pictures your friends sent you from the weekend.

So what do you think? Please send us feedback. We're constantly tuning the product for you!

Just a small point. I missed the first round of invites. When I installed Firefox today there was a nice little invite to add xoopit add in for Firefox. Great! But no as I dont have an account. So I now have a xoopit log in but cant get an account. Any news on more invites. My property management organisation uses googlemail extensively together with web albums on Picasa. This add in sound ideal for us. Would be good to trial it.

Feature request: plugin compatibility with Google Apps powered email. My apps mail is actually indexed and web accesible with xoopit, but the plugin seems not to work at all.

Would be great!

We do support Gmail Apps for Your Domian addresses (GAYD). The plugin has been updated in the last few days, and should work nicely for you now.
