In our rush to get 1.2.9 out the door for you Flash 10 users, we inadvertently introduced a few bugs in Internet Explorer. We’ve resolved these issues along with a few small bugs with the API and have released 1.2.10 in the account center.
In case you missed it, version 10 of the Flash Player was released earlier this week, which immediately brought into focus a few major bugs with Director when using the new player. Uploads didn’t work at all when using Flash Player 10, nor did any of the “Copy” buttons in Director’s interface.
We’ve been hard at it the last two days and have just released 1.2.9 which brings full support for Flash Player 10 when using Director. Note that the Flash 10 bugs were limited to Director’s interface, as SlideShowPro itself works just fine with Flash 10 as is.

We’ve just released Director 1.2.8 with one important bugfix along with an enhancement of an existing feature.
First, the fix: Since releasing the API, one nagging problem has been the copyright symbol that some programs inject into the metadata of an image. The presence of this symbol caused a hiccup with the XML parser the API uses. Director now properly catches and re-encodes the copyright symbol so that it is parsed properly.
Also, for some time now we have allowed you to setup smart ordering for your albums and galleries. This feature allowed you to keep your album imagery and gallery albums in order by file name, album name, or date. One thing missing from the file name and album title presets was the ability to identify whether you wanted the order to be ascending (a to z) or descending (z to a). With Director 1.2.8, we now allow you to specify ascending or descending order for any of the sort presets. A small addition, but we think it will come in handy.
To download 1.2.8, visit the Director product page in the Account Center.
Director 1.2.7 is now available in the Account Center. The fixes in 1.2.7 mainly revolve around the API and two methods in particular: user->all and content->all. Both of those methods were broken in previous installs and are now fixed in 1.2.7. Also, as a part of these fixes, the DirectorPHP class has been updated to 1.0.2 so be sure to grab that as well.
Other fixes in Director 1.2.7 include a tag upload issue where “undefined” was being written into the tags accidentally. This has also been fixed along with some other small bug fixes.
We’ve just released Director 1.2.6 with a few important bug fixes. First, uploads now work even when multiple tags are assigned at the time of upload. Second, when using Director with SlideShowPro for Lightroom, the live preview in Lightroom now works as expected.
Minor user interface refinements are also included in 1.2.6, along with a fix for content_list API calls that involve tag filtering. To download the update, visit the account center.
We’ve just released Director 1.2.5, which fixes two key issues. First, large uploads were failing after a certain amount of time because of how the upload URL was being handled. Also, with the changes in 1.2.4, Director’s internal cache for the API was not being cleared properly, causing the albums list to not update when album data had been changed. This affected the albums list in the Lightroom to Director plugin and other applications based on the API.
Both of these issues are resolved by the 1.2.5 update, available now in the account center.
We’ve just released updates to SlideShowPro Director (1.2.4), the Lightroom to Director plugin (1.0.2) and the DirectorPHP class (1.0.1).
The fixes are fairly minor and mostly address an issue with the Lightroom to Director plugin and Director installs with large amounts of content. Users experiencing an empty album list in the Lightroom exporter should upgrade their Director install as well as update to the latest version of the Lightroom to Director plugin.
To get the latest version of Director, login to the Account Center. To grab the latest versions of the Lightroom to Director plugin and the DirectorPHP class, visit the SlideShowPro Director extras page.

Lightroom to SlideShowPro Director plugin updated
An update for the Lightroom to SlideShowPro Director plugin has just been released. The update should resolve issues that been affecting users when using the plugin with Lightroom 2.

We’ve found and fixed a few more bugs in the new Director 1.2 release and Director 1.2.3 is now available in the account center. This upgrade is recommended for all users running any version of 1.2. For a list of changes, see the version history page in the wiki.
