10.29.05 | SlideShowPro 1.2.4 Released

SlideShowPro 1.2.4 is now available in the user section for download. A sneaky bug related to column / row calculation was fixed; album title text field now accepts more than one line of text; album descriptions and titles accept rudimentary HTML tags like break, italic, bold, underline, and list item; and a new "imageClick" event was added that fires whenever a user clicks on a loaded image.

This update is free for all purchasers of SlideShowPro 1.0, and available through the User section. Log in to your account to download.

10.25.05 | Photoshop CS2's Image Processor

Veerle has offered a tip on her blog for using Photoshop CS2's Image Processor to batch publish images for SlideShowPro. This is probably an "official" version of the one created by Dr. Bott a while back, which was just as handy, but it's good to see it's bundled into the app now. Thanks Veerle!

10.24.05 | Windows XML Generator

A new application has been added to the site for download -- Windows XML Generator. Contributed by SlideShowPro user Gregory Riddin, this Windows app automates the process of creating an XML file for SlideShowPro. Simply point it at a directory of images, enter your album data, and presto -- a formatted XML file ready for load. Check it out by clicking the link above.

10.21.05 | Kristopher Grunert Imaging

The portfolio site for photographer Kristopher Grunert is using SlideShowPro as the "engine" for displaying full-screen original photographs. All of SlideShowPro's visual elements (with the exception of the preloader) were turned off, and Event Listeners were used to create a custom thumbnail navigation. To see it in action, click "Open Menu" in the bottom-left corner of the pop-up window and select either "Published" or "Commissioned". This is a great example of what can be done with a little ingenuity and ActionScript skill. Check it out.

10.15.05 | SlideShowPro 1.2.3 Released

One small bug fix and behavioral change with the "imageData" event object, plus a handy HTML publishing template that centers SlideShowPro in the browser window. Check the version history for more information.

10.01.05 | SlideShowPro 1.2.2 Released

This update fixes an issue with the "On Mouse Over" options for "Show Captions", fixes a bug with setting the "Show Captions" parameter dynamically, and adds new visual parameters for "Gallery Background Alpha," "Album Background Alpha" and "Caption Stroke Weight." A free update for all users of 1.0. Login to the user section to download.
