This release mainly brings the Lightroom version up to date with the 1.8.0 release of SlideShowPro for Flash. This includes modifications to the parameter interface plus the default templates to reflect changes made in 1.8.0.

The 1.2.0 update does include however one new feature, and an important change to how thumbnail previews are displayed. As for the new, a radio button was added named "Expand Browser Window" that will modify your exported HTML document so that it automatically expands the browser window to fill 100% of a user's monitor. This will come in handy for people who are publishing large slideshows, which require larger than normal browser windows in order to adequately present. The option is turned off by default.

The second change is with thumbnail link previews. Before, you simply modified "Thumb Width/Height" to change both the exported size of your thumbnails, and the size of the pop-up link previews. This turned out however to be a problem with people trying to export large images to use as album previews, so additional parameters were added ("Link Preview Width/Height") for independent control over the size of the link preview windows.

Update is free for all current SlideShowPro for Lightroom users, and can be downloaded here.
