I will shortly be releasing CC w/Cloud support to members of the CC alpha group.
CC Cloud displays the cloud library the same way that CC Content Server displays information. Not much more to say here -- you will know what I mean when you see it. I am purposely not saying more because one of the things that needs testing is whether people can use it without explanation.
This release has support for Dropbox and Onedrive. Dropbox seems to work better than Onedrive. I think that Onedrive is doing "developer throttling", only allowing a certain number of requests per day.
In addition to cloud support, this release:
- offers a even-larger book list and grid thumbnail. Several people with 10 inch tablets said that the current largest thumb is too small.
- has a condensed preferences screen, making it (I hope) easier to navigate.
- the beginnings of "help dialogs" that come up when you first use something. The dialog has a check box that will prevent it from showing again.
EDIT: This really is an alpha test. Although I am confident that I didn't break any existing feature of CC, there will certainly be bugs in the new cloud stuff. In particular, error handling where the cloud provider says "Go away" is probably not at its best.
EDIT 2: The test has gone very well. Several users have made excellent suggestions, such as support for multiple libraries, CC support for file name templates, and showing counts on the category items (tags, etc). These have been added. Of course there have been bugs, but at this point I think they are all fixed. The app will go to beta around 1 July.
