Software Upgrades

[threegee]

Many thanks to fourgee for tonight's work on upgrading the software.

 

There are many improvements and fixes, but you'll mainly notice this in the Gallery software which has had a major revamp. Amongst other things the geo-tagging now works properly. So, given half a chance, cameras and smartphones that have GPS should flag the location of your shot on the map.

 

He put in a lot of work fixing problems that had gone unnoticed (like bitmap photos being uploaded with a .jpg file extension!) so it was more than a simple upgrade.  You may also find some photos that weren't displaying before, due to a null category being selected for them at upload time.  All member's suggestions for reorganising the Gallery will be carefully considered.

 

Our regular posters will appreciate the fixes to annoying bugs in the text editor.

 

Please report any other problems you spot and we will have them attended to.
