My solutions to some not-so-common problems

Fixing problem Vimeo Desktop Uploader stuck on “Loading” message

I’ve been using Vimeo Desktop Uploader for over a year. It is simple tool written in Adobe AIR which allows batch upload of videos to Vimeo. From time to time, when I try to run application, it hangs with “Loading” message. Restarting application does not help. Unauthorizing application either. I searched for similar problem on Vimeo Help Forum and found this topic. Looked promising so I’ve follow the advice and deleted vimeo files inĀ ~/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/ELS/ on my Ubuntu. But that didn’t help. After application authorization on Vimeo it was still displaying “Loading” message forever.

But than I thought that it is a good track and decided to clean entire AIR . I’ve deletedĀ ~/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/ directory. And that was it! I could use Vimeo Desktop Uploader once again.
