RazunaDesktop: Works now on MacOS X again

by on February 2, 2010 in Apple, Digital Asset Management, Razuna

Finally, after a couple of weeks waiting for a Bug fix from the almighty Adobe (I think there is enough buzz in the press already on the Flash issue and MacOs X) we are happy to let you know that our RazunaDesktop application works under MacOS X again.

Bruce already released version 1.1.4 some time ago and most clients should have gotten the Update by the automatic update notification, but if you haven’t make sure to update right within the client or download a new copy of RazunaDesktop.

RazunaDesktop is the perfect companion to Razuna. With the desktop application you can browse your folders and collection instantly on your desktop. Moreover, you can upload any asset from within RazunaDesktop, with the convenience of a Desktop application.

If you are using Razuna and haven’t checked out the RazunaDesktop application you are missing out. Make sure to check it out at the dedicated RazunaDektop page (RazunaDesktop works with your self hosted edition and our Razuna Hosted Edition).

by on July 21, 2009 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

Razuna Desktop has been built for you and your team to easily add any asset from your desktop to Razuna by simply drag and drop to the Razuna Desktop application.

We believe that Razuna Desktop is a big enhancement for any team that wants to be serious about a effective workflow and wants to make use of our open source Digital Asset Management Razuna. With Razuna Desktop adding assets to the Razuna server is a simple drag and drop operation. We developed Razuna Desktop in the hope that you and your team can be more productive.

The current version 1.0 is a starting point of many new features to come to this Desktop application. We are planning some really great features for it, like Folder browsing, retrieving assets trough Razuna Desktop and much more.

Furthermore, Razuna Desktop is a proof of concept for our Open Source Community effort and the Razuna Developer API. The application has been built by Bruce Lane, an active Razuna Community member and uses the Razuna Developer API to full extend.

You can use Razuna Desktop with your own hosted Razuna setup or with the Razuna Hosted Platform. Moreover, Razuna Desktop runs on MacOS X, Windows and Linux.

Here is also a short introduction video on Razuna Desktop.

Progress of Razuna Desktop

by on May 15, 2009 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

As mentioned in our recent blog post “Exciting times on the Razuna side” we mentioned that we are working on the Razuna Desktop version. Today, we have had the chance to test the application and we have to say that we are thrilled about it.

razunadesktopThe current 1.0 version will allow you to enter your login information, both for the Razuna Hosted Version and for the self hosted version, and you can choose and upload your assets right from your desktop. Best of all, it will work on Windows, Linux and MacOS X.

With the desktop application you and your team will be able to upload any kind of assets in the background while keep on working.

We are exited to bring you this useful tool as soon as possible, so you can benefit from it.

Currently, we are in the finishing touches and should be able to publish Razuna Desktop with the Razuna 1.2 release, which should be ready within the coming weeks.

Exciting times on the Razuna side

by on May 6, 2009 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

When we released our open source Digital Asset Management System, Razuna, in the Summer of 2008, we hoped that our experience in making software tools and outlook for the need of managing videos and images may benefit organizations and small teams around the world.

The release of Razuna has been taken up very well, and we see more and more organizations taking to our open source Digital Asset Management. Many have come forward and offered to contribute to Razuna. This in turn, has been motivating us to even return back more to the community. Thus, we are very happy with the recent enhancements and upcoming features and add-ons to Razuna. Here are some of the things to come;

Razuna Desktop Application

We want you to work with Razuna as easy as possible. By the nature of a web application, your client for Razuna is obviously a web browser. Under certain situations, like uploading a large amount of data, a web browser can be inconvenient. In the last couple of weeks we have undertaken some efforts to have a Desktop applications built that will allow exactly that. With it, you will be able to simple drag and drop any asset from your Desktop system to the Razuna Desktop Application and it will be automatically uploaded. The application will run on MacOS X, Windows and Linux. Best of all, the Razuna Desktop Application will run with the Hosted Razuna DAM Platform and with the self hosted DAM version.

The effort of bringing you the Desktop Application is a community effort by the Razuna Community member Bruce Lane who has already contributed a French translation for Razuna.

Razuna Web Services (API) / Plugin’s for CMS / PHP

In order to bring assets from Razuna to your system (CMS, ERP, etc.) you can use the Razuna API. With the Developer API you can interact with assets stored in Razuna. Getting the folder structure, searching for assets, retrieving assets, showing them and further interaction is all done over a open web service interface. We steadily improve the API and we just added the possibility to add asset remotely. Thus allowing you, to create your own “Razuna Remote Client”.

For those who feel encouraged to include Razuna into their CMS or write a plugin, should get in touch with us or read the current Wiki pages on the Razuna API. The Razuna API is currently available for the Hosted Razuna DAM Platform and in the current 1.2 development release.

Razuna 1.2

razuna-treeThe current Road Map for Razuna 1.2 brings a lot of new features to Razuna. There will be over 80 changes, including bug fixes, enhancements and new features. Here is a short list of features for the upcoming 1.2 release;

Progress bar for uploading, PDF, PSD, EPS and AI files will have a thumbnail preview and can be converted to other formats online, Cooliris plugin support, a Explorer-Tree for Folder Navigation (I know you have been waiting for this),  a brand new initial folder view (showing you all assets in one convenient view, with a option to include assets from subfolders!), faster loading time (performance increase by 40%), Version control for all assets and sharing of Folders and Collections to the web.

All in all, the enhancements for Razuna in the upcoming version will help you to work even more efficiently with your Digital Assets. As it looks now, we will be able to bring you Razuna 1.2 by the end of Mai 2009.

We are all very excited about all the new tools, features and enhancements that are coming to Razuna and the whole Razuna Eco-System. At this point, we would like to thank all the supporters and the people who spread the word on Razuna.
