was heard to mutter:
>I asked on the groups a long while back which app/utility people were using to post stuff in these groups?
>Someone suggested simply posting through NewsNin Pro. I tried that. Never seen so many incomplete files in my life!
>I dug out an old free utility called Easy Post v3.0. It works fine, but I can only load one album at a time and there seems no way of getting rid of those pointless descript.ion files it insists on adding to each post.
>I dug out an old free app/utility called SharkPost v1.0. It'll let me load as many sets of files as I want, each with their own subject line. Great. Just what I wanted! It even saves posts to a History file. The trouble is, it has so many enforced limitations, designed to avoid problems with older servers/software, that it's almost unusable now.
>Certain characters, such as /[]() will not be accepted. Then there's a limit to how long the subject line can be. Once you've gone to all the trouble of tweaking all the filenames to avoid these limitations, you can still fall foul of the upper character limit of subject line, plus file name. In these cases, you aren't warned. You just look up to find that Sharkpost has crashed.
>All I want is to be able to set up a batch of albums to post in the background, so I can get on with something else while it runs.
>SharkPost has given me so much trouble today, as evidenced by my having to post the par2 files for one album separately with Easy Post, that It's cost me more time than it's saved.
>Does anyone have any useful suggestions?
