Can the next update not need FLASH to function on the PC, for transfer buttons to show?

Hi ..
I really like the app. ... And it works very well, given the limit Apple puts on the iPad2, ... But I'm wondering why you made the PC need FLASH to show the transfer choice buttons?

My PC is an HP ThinClient and I also have EWF engaged....
(EWF disables writing to the disk unless allowed by me, and writes to RAM instead) this keeps virus infections off, because shutting down and powering back up, brings back the original state the system was at, each time.

So I don't like having to reload FLASH each time I turn off the ThinClient, nor do I like using FLASH if I can avoid it... :-) ... I found it gives troubles sometimes.

Any chance the update won't need FLASH installed on the PC?
Hello,

Thanks for posting your question here and thanks a lot for answering other questions on the forum! We really appreciate it!

We decided to use Flash to be able to select multiple files to upload at one time which is not possible with traditional web forms. However, it looks like HTML5 introduces the ability to select multiple files at one time as well so we may be moving to that or at least provide it as an alternative to Flash. We will be definitely looking into this for the upcoming update of the app.

Sorry about this inconvenience! I hope this answers your question. Please let us know if you have any other question, comment or suggestion to make the app better. And THANKS again for help on the forum!! :)

Kind regards,

Enrique

Hello again, and you're welcome, for thanking me answering other questions on this forum.

I felt I had to, being the App works so well, it had to be a simple reason it didn't work for others, I just hope they return to see the possible solution.

As for FLASH, I'm sure you'll make the best choice for the App, and its users, as you have so far. :-) ... If FLASH is it, I'll just get use to it. :-)

Oh, one last thing, not really too important, ...
I posted a review in the Apple Apps forum, and it has not shown up yet. I edited the first one, and may have not pressed the 5-star rating that second time, and when going back to check, my text was not showing again, so I made a second review.

Could Both have been deleted by Apple editors (moderators) thinking I was "padding" the review ratings?

Anyway, your App is the ONLY one that actually worked as stated, ad it even transfers BOTH directions, really wild. It puts all the others TO SHAME! :-)
Hello,

You are not the first one to ask for an alternative to Flash so we are definitely looking at how we can provide that, seems that HTML5 will not be hard to implement, the only issue would be browser compatibility so maybe for a while we will have both ways.

Thanks for posting a review about the app! From my experience, it takes a few hours for a review to show up on the app store so I would not worry if you can't see it immediately. Also, we've noticed that, for the last few days, the reviews have been not always showing up (all of them), it just looks like as if there were no reviews for the app so maybe Apple is changing something on their systems these days.

Thanks again! Please let us know if you have any other idea or suggestion.

All the best,

Enrique

Thanks! Cheers,

Wow! Sounds like a really awesome job! Are you based in Silicon Valley?
(EDIT-deleted my location-)

Sadly, all development is on hold for now, my Mom has some medical issues, and may be on her last months of life... and I am taking care of her 24 hours / 7 days a week.

at least your App works as it should. :-) so that makes me happy.
I am so sorry to hear that. I really hope she will get better. I'm sending you all my positive thoughts and energy to you and her.
:-)
Thanks, that's very nice of you...
seeing how well you program your Apps, and the energy you use to create, and support them, you may be able to send her some energy to actually get a bit better.
:-)
