• Shozam version 1.2.27.0 update is released

  Shozam version 1.2.27.0 update is now available for free download. 2008.05.06 - Version 1.2.27.0 Fixes - this release mainly fixes issues reported by users related to the previous release NOTE: Fixing map issues in existing galleries requires re-generating all HTML files. For this you can uncheck the "generate modified files only" in Step 5. This will also reprocess and re-generate all image files, which is not neccessary. Another option is to re-generate (all) HTML files only. For this, just change the View Type for the Gallery Map following the steps below: > Start Shozam > Step 1 --> choose to modify existing gallery > Step 3 --> choose to modify an album (does not matter which) > Step 2 --> select the the Map Tab --> deselect all thumbnails > Click the View drop-down selector and select a different type > Generate gallery (you can keep "generate modified files only" checked) > Follow the steps above again and change the View Type back and re-generate (optional) > Upload 11122: Fixed issue where Shozam did not run on Windows Vista. Ticket: 3C1-0FAB185D-3662  [Technical detail: Issue was triggered by the change of version format from four number groups to three. Fix relies on changing back to the longer version identification. The significance of each number is now as follows: 1) Major version, 2) Minor version, 3)Update release number, 4) Typically not significant. 10972: Expanded previous Map fix to display all markers on the main map of the gallery. Now this happens not only in new galleries but also in existing galleries, created by previous versions of Shozam [Technical detail: Added support for trimming the XML for an existing gallery, making it compliant with the new format required by the changes to the map section] 11128: Fixed issue where the map label appeared on existing galleries. [Technical detail: Fix above also fixes this issue] Download Shozam update (older version of Shozam required; updates all editions) Download latest version of Shozam Free Trial (install on computer without any previous Shozam installation) Posted May 06 2008, 11:15 AM by Razvan Neagu

• Shozam version 1.2.26 update is being repaired

  We have discovered several issues with the latest version 1.2.26 update released a couple of days ago. There are two main issues related to this version 1.2.26. 1. Some users on Vista cannot run the program correctly. This is due to Vista permission requirements and the functionality was affected in this release. Installing the previous version of the program will rectify this situation. You can install this from the regular location, as we have pulled out the new faulty update: http://community.shozam.com/files/ 2. Some user report that some of their images are not being generated correctly after installing the latest update. Pages get generated but red Xs get displayed in the browser where images should have appeared. This seems to be a permanent corruption in the sense that installing the previous version of Shozam will not correct the issue. We are still investigating the cause of this and the best fix for it. As a last resort, users should install the previous version of Shozam, delete the affected images and then add them back to the gallery. We appreciate you patience as we work on resolving the pending issues and are sorry for inconveniences caused to the affected users. Thanks to the users reporting the issues and assisting our fixing efforts through the Shozam Helpdesk. We currently expect all to be sorted out by early next week and provide a new clean program update at that time.   Posted May 02 2008, 12:35 PM by Razvan Neagu
