Tumblr Backup fails if queued posts exist (API request failed)

I just found a major bug in the Tumblr Backup desktop app for Mac (which you can download from Tumblr’s Goodies page): you can’t back up any of your blogs that have queued posts. If you try, you will get this error: ”API request failed. Please check your internet connection or try again later.” 

The only solution that I know of is to empty your queue (by saving the posts as drafts or publishing them, for example), which is far from ideal. I’ve submitted a bug report, so hopefully they’ll fix it soon.
