New features – November 8, 2005

Alright, have some great new feature enhancements live on the site:

  • Theme previewing. You can now, if you check the “preview” checkbox, preview a chosen Theme before applying it to your site. Once you’ve found something you want, uncheck “preview” and your choice will be saved. While previewing, your visitors won’t see your new Theme choice.
  • Customization previewing. For Power and Pro users, you can now preview your customization changes without potentially breaking or changing your site. See the customization page.
  • Keywords and Timeline are now Theme’d based on your ‘all pages’ Theme choice. Soon we should let you specify your own Theme specifically for either of those areas.
  • Timeline is now exposed to more than 50% of smugmug customers. More coming as we finish populating your timelines.
  • Three new Themes: Daddy’s Girl, It’s a Girl, and Wedding. Anyone want to do a Fall or Thanksgiving Theme? Get paid!
  • Performance improvements with Themes and Customization
  • Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug with bulk settings where it’d return you to a bogus URL.
  • Fixed a case where your galleries and photos could show up in search even with a site-wide password (your password was still required to view the galleries)
  • Fixed a case where your galleries could show up in Browse even with a site-wide password (your password was still required to view the galleries)
  • Long Community names no longer wreck the community listings
  • Users who have closed their accounts are now properly removed from communities.
  • Fixed some more issues with non-latin foreign characters and AJAX
  • Replaced the ‘close account’ functionality on the control panel.

      For next rev, how about some more thought on the video support (http://www.underdoug.ca/2005/11/09/smugmug-video-support-lacking/), and a mac uploader that retains keywords, titles, and descriptions from iphoto.

      I posted on your blog about video support. It’s a good point, but I’m afraid there’s no easy solution yet. We’re thinking hard about how to improve it.

      As for the another Mac Uploader, there is a new one, and it’s been in public testing over at http://www.dgrin.com . It’ll be out “when it’s done”. :)
