Anyhow, I've updated Convert Currency to now do: lower case = matched against both currency name and code (e.g. in = IND or Indian Rupee), and upper case = only against currency code (e.g. IN = IND). You should start seeing results either way now (and case doesn't matter when you're finally computing the result).
Mind you, the suggestions aren't for people that know the currency codes already XD (e.g. type "yen", get JPY).
Cheers.
Great, thanks!

https://github.com/hlissner/lb6-actionsUpdates:- Update: Optimize Images -- The filesize difference statistics are back. A recent LB update causes the subtitle to disappear if a "path" is specified in the resultset. I fixed this, but at a cost: the result list is not a list of image files, but a list of strings.
- New: Shorten URL (YouRLS) -- for you nerdy types (like me) who have their own link shorteners

Thanks, much, for the actions. I'm using the bit.ly URL shortener, but ran into an issue. I'm trying to shorten the following (public) link:
https://teamgantt.com/gantt/schedule/?i ... or_filter=After shortening it via LB, it creates the following link:
http://f.beigeco.com/1J580bq - this link, however, reverts to the login page of that site.
It does work fine when using the shortener via the bit.ly website, so I'd assume it has something to do the the action script.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks!
Alex

Is it just me or has the excellent Currency Converter-action stopped working?

Updates:- Optimize Image (v1.4): better error handling and feedback:


- Domainr (v1.7): The provider reported API abuse (from somewhere else), so I removed live suggestions from this action. Please don't use the old actions.
- Convert Currency (v2.2.1): The old currency API stopped working, so I've switched over to currencylayer.com — however, this requires an api key. Check the readme for details on how to set this up.

I think the Forecast one is not working again? I've been getting an error the last couple of days. (same with Temperature In). Thanks!

Oh no! Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out over the weekend.
What error messages have you been getting?

I get the following error message when I try and use the Bitly shortener. Any thoughts?
