Other features

Mod Share Uploader

Insanity allows users to upload projects directly to Mod Share without having to use the website. In Insanity 1.0, it FTP uploads the file using an AutoIT script to an external site which is then transferred onto Mod Share. In Insanity 1.1, it uses the HTTPSocket library in Squeak to send the file using POST data.

Partial Presentation Mode

In Insanity Beta and later, there are two presentation mode buttons: one for window presentation mode and one for full screen presentation mode.

Mod Share Browser

Insanity has a tool to look at projects uploaded on Mod Share. It can look at featured projects, projects by specific users, or through search queries.

Visual Representation of Booleans

When one clicks on a reporter whose value is true, a green check mark appears; when one clicks on a reporter whose value is false, a red cross appears.
