The Good ... The Bad ... The Ugly ...
Whew! we thought we'd come out with a small update for all you freaks out there, and give out a little sneak preview goodness on our upcoming version: PimpFish 2007 Vista Edition

Yep, that's going to be the official name for the thing untill the next update when we will most likely drop the "Vista Edition" part. Of course we will still work on XP and Windows 2000 - But we will be dropping all Win 9x support (98/Me) - Anyway, I have a few news to bring today and some are good and one is bad. But first, the good news:

• We have finalized the feature set of PF 2007 and can now show you some sneak preview pictures! Check this out yo....
  

Wow, check that out... The toolbar looks... Like... So much cooler! And what is that "Plugins" button you see there? Well the new SLAPfiles plugin integration of course! What this baby does is enable us to do custom serverside processing of all grabs... Meaning, grabbing from Youtube, Google, apple.com/trailers etc. ad nauseum will be completely integrated and seamless! Just surf to the page where the video is playing, hit grab movies and BLAMMO! It all works out... And the best thing is: We can now continuously just update, tweak, fix and whatnot on our server and you will never have to download an update to the plugin stuff.... More sites will be supported automagically!

How will this look in the downloader...? Well, something like this:

Cool, huh?

Also we have of course taken full advantage of the new UI features on Win Vista (as seen on www.pentafish.com) and put in a few more of those cool task dialogs:

Looks friendly doesn't it? :)

What other cool features will be in there? Well...

- Firefox toolbar update (a lot of good stuff coming up)
- Better Image Grabbing (CSS now supported to a certain extent)
- Plenty of bugfixes and improved downloader logic
- Better error reporting and feedback
- Bundled free FLV player with no adware/spyware/crap so you don't need any additional tools other than PimpFish to download and view video from e.g. YouTube

This is just a partial list of the highlights...

• The bad news: Spidering will sadly not be part of the recipe this time 'round :

Yep, you heard right. Unfortunately due to insane time constraints we have had to cut that feature out of this release - as we are racing to meet the January 30th deadline for a simultaneous release with Windows Vista. Not only that, but time allotted for development is pretty much over as we need to spend the next two months on working on getting this thing Certified for Windows Vista, do all our Quality Assurance, create cool new walkthrough stuff (This time around it's all video based!) and create a whole new PimpFish.com website almost from scratch.... The bright side of all this though, is that now that we had actually started working on it, then this will be item no. 1 to be added to the following version.

Greets form the Zaber dudes...
