It Just Works
by patlurcock·5 months ago

A simple plugin that does one thing and does it well. Nice one!

Doesn’t seem to work
by drewmcpherson·3 years ago

When I try to upload, it adds a weird looking progress meter (I think it’s a progress meter, hard to tell), but it doesn’t ever increase in progress, it just sits there doing nothing. Doesn’t seem to work at all.

Does what it says it does
by Webtomica·3 years ago

As simple as that, it just works out of the box for me.

Thanks, developer!.
