They come in pairs

Following the tradition of the last Conduit release, I realized that I shipped Conduit 0.3.7 with a stupid build issue that broke all the Gmail/Google/Picasa support for people. Following in that tradition here is Conduit 0.3.8 which fixes that, and also features updated icons contributed by mejogid.

New Conduit Icons

For more information:

Conduit developer John Carr has also setup a Ubuntu PPA for Conduit. Check it out if you are interested in running the Latest and Greatest for Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy.

    Am I the only one that finds this icon slightly disturbing? It implies some kind of borg-like direct network-brain link.

    Finally a great icon! Don’t listen to people with names like fraggle, have you seen that TV show!

    I’m still trying to find time for conduit myself, but have at least looked at your code structure a few times, and have taken some inspiration for the wine-doors 0.2 branch.

    One last thing, conduit has now established a tradition of odd number releases having something borked and quickly followed by an even number release, I think this tradition should be maintained, with bugs introduced especially for the odd users who are too quick to jump on a release :)

    Could I please ask you to consider adding Gallery 2 support to Conduit? (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510112)

    Thank you for a very promising-looking program.

    Actually the icon does have a ghost-in-the-machine feel to it :)

    Remember to license the icons cc-by-sa 2.5 since the use of tango base set pieces.

    @Johan
    I replied on that bug

    @Lapo
    Fixed in SVN (Add COPYING for the icons, and credited Tango project in the about dialog)

    @Karl
    Good to hear. Please steal our layout of main.py/__init__.py/defs.py its about the third iteration of that logic and I think its really good at letting us run uninstalled, with/without autotools, and still keep a sane library like design without having application code all over the show

    Icon is freaking scary. Half of a human body is connected to a computer with water pipes o_O

    Also racist ’cause this poor fellow who’s remains are sucked into computer was definitely black.

    @Dronny
    I dunno, he kinda looks orange in the small icons, like a ginga with a beard

    Hi, do you think you’ll be able to add support for Zooomr (http://www.zooomr.com/)? It’s a very nice photo hosting service providing tags and smart sets, it would be great to have a way to upload and sync photos different from their standard Flash-based uploader.
