I’ve put out a new version of drapes, 0.5.0 and i’ll call it stable. Not many changes over the last revision, updated translations, couple minor bug fixes and I updated the deb to work edgy & feisty (but not dapper).
You can fetch it via the usual channels.
Cheers, and here’s to hopping it works for everyone [...]
This past weekend I was in Boston. Adam, Flav, Jorge and I were there for the summit, but we added up going there a day early, because that Friday it was my birthday and what batter way to get old then to go bar hopping in Boston. That Friday we were joined by our friends [...]
You can now import both images, or entire directory structures. I think this is the single most asked for features, I got emails about.
Notice the Combo Box in the lower right hand corner for the file chooser.
So now that drapes has been out for like a couple days a couple things have happened. Number one, I got lots of support requests, people find various ways of breaking drapes that I never thought of… and I love it, keep sending me bug reports and I’ll keep fixing everything to make sure drapes [...]

On a short note, drapes (from the current bzr tree) support file system watching magic. Plus it has a bunch of bug fixes.
So, go on now and rejoice.
