Version 1.9: A Cooliris You Can Call Your Own
Version 1.9 adds a whole new dimension to Cooliris by allowing you to customize your experience. Introducing: Favorites and Preferences.
The Favorites feature lets you save the content you care about to a personal 3D Wall. The possibilities are endless: assemble performances from your favorite musicians into a slick and visually intense playlist, compile an entire season of your favorite show off of Hulu, or make a wall of all the most memorable moments with your friends and family. Faster, easier, and more cohesive than bookmarking disparate webpages, you’re able to put all of your media into a little corner of the web you can call your own. From the mundane to the esoteric to the exciting, Favorites makes sure you’ve got it where it counts.
Preferences adds customization to a core feature of the Cooliris experience: the 3D Wall itself. You can modify the background wallpaper, the speed of the wall scroll, as well as the angle at which they glide along its surface (ranging from a straight-on view with no tilt/pan to a full tilt/pan), the number of thumbnail rows, and the direction the wall scrolls when you sweep along it with your mouse.
Cooliris 1.9 also brings a number of other great new features to the table. Hulu Search allows you to search across today’s hottest TV shows and movies.
Internet Explorer users now have full Flash support: use Cooliris as a portal into a wide world of games and other fun Flash apps!
Users accustomed to using a multiple monitor setup no longer need to worry, as version 1.9 fully supports all the different configurations. In fact, version 1.9 is smoother and faster for everyone, with a whole range of under-the-hood performance enhancements and general bug fixes.
So give 1.9 a spin by downloading it here and explore a richer, customizable Cooliris experience!

Favorites rock. I’d like to organize and share them in future versions. A CoolIris favorites feed would look awesome on my Facebook and FriendFeed.

FF has been much more unresponsive and hanging ever since installing v 1.9. Also, I do not appreciate the additions to the start menu and to the desktop. Is the previous version of Cooliris still available somewhere?

Great app, but a Firefox add-on shouldn’t be installing desktop shortcuts – that’s crossing the intrusiveness line.

I used the previous versions on Flickr without a problem. Now in slide show, some pictures have thumbnails but when you zoom in, sometime the .gif image “This Photo is currently unavailable.” appears instead of the picture. It doesn’t matter if the image is available in a larger format or not. Is this a strange new enhancement or bug?

Thank you for this great add-on..
in the old version (piclens) I can browse my local pictures, by typing local address in firefox like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Ameer\My Documents\My Pictures
then launch Cooliris (Piclens) to instantly browse my pictures!!
Now I cannot do this with late versions..
Can you add this feature (which seem like an old “Premium Bug” ^_^ )
Thank you again!

Browsing local photos would be a tremendous feature. If the ability was there in Piclens, why did you take it away? I am a Pro Photographer and would love to use the App for my clients to preview photos.
It is somewhat disappointing that you have taken away this feature. I am a fan of your Software and will continue to use, just want to use it for local photos.

hello, does anyone know how to get a hold of the management of Cool Iris? or who it is? We have been recommended to them by someone at Comcast for a possible project.
Thanks!

Hey — is there any way to programatically access our own Favorites? I’ve been using the feature to tag photos in Phanfare (using my Fan-Phan viewer – http://pl251.pairlitesite.com/fanphan/), and now I want to download all of the tagged photos so I can upload them to Costco to print.
Ideally if there were API access to my own Favorites this would be a lot easier.
Thanks.

Hey–anyone know how to access the favorites photos? I have lots of images I would like to save to my desktop!!!
March 12th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Maria:
To favorite items, all you have to do is make sure that you are logged in, and then click the star under the content so that it is filled. Then, you can click “Favorites” in the left-hand menu to review your Favorites. Unfortunately, save is a functionality that we do not offer at the moment, but you can click the “Jump to page” icon underneath the content and save it from the webpage. Hope this helps!
Kindest Regards,

is there any way to delete pictures from your favorites without going to the place where you found them?? that would come in handy xD
November 15th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Jonas: when you’re in your favorites, just click the “star” icon, then refresh the page. The favorite will be gone!

Favorites hang. After faving, the show up in the favs.. the star does not ‘light up’ as if it’s saved and does not remove fav when click then unclicked.
