01.25.07  |  Mario Palma

Mario Palma, an Italian painter near Rome, is using SlideShowPro for his portfolio site. Set in an unusual, yet beautiful vertical format, Mario’s paintings are loaded and cropped to fit the component area to create a pleasing look that extends from edge to edge in all directions. The caption bar also appears on the bottom of the component for extra originality. SlideShowPro is also being used on Mario’s main gallery page as well.

01.14.07  |  SlideShowPro Director 1.0.9 Released

The next iteration of Director (1.0.9) is now available for download.

The changes are mostly bug fixes related to the new architecture introduced in 1.0.8. However, there is one notable addition that might be of interest to those who have been waiting to make the jump to Director for slide show management. Director now includes an import utility that can take your XML and images from an existing slide show and import them right into Director. Once imported, all you have to do is modify the XML File Path in Flash to point to Director’s data feed. To see how it works, check out the screencast or consult the updated Director user guide.

Another helpful new feature is a built in password reminder that will email you your login credentials if you have forgotten them. Consult the changelog for a full rundown of the changes.

01.08.07  |  Invoices back online

A few days ago our member area ran into a problem with publishing PDF invoices. The darn thing would time out after about 30 seconds or so. Thankfully that’s now fixed, so if you had purchased something recently but didn’t receive an invoice, you can now login to your account and get one.
