A known issue - Flash preview on Mac

2007-06-06T19:39:00.000-07:00

Do you see a white screen while previewing the generated 'Standalone Flash' movie?

The QuickTime v7.1 disabled to playback SWF Flash movie, and the SWF preview program of JetPhoto Studio is based on QuickTimeand, so you saw this incorrect Flash playback.

However the generated SWF file is ok, it can still be opened properly with Adobe Flash Player, Safari, FireFox etc.

Now, to fix this problem on your Mac, you just need go to your System Preferences, and click QuickTime item, select Advanced tab, and then check Enable Flash option.

A known issue about number format in Europe

2007-05-30T09:28:00.000-07:00

If you are using a JetPhoto Studio on a Windows with French, German or other European languages. For running JetPhoto software properly, you should check your Regional and Language control panel of your Windows XP.

The 'Decimal Symbol' must be set as 'dot'. However the default setting is usually 'comma' for French, German and many other language regions.

Please launch applet 'Regional and Language Options' in your Windows control panel, select 'Regional Options' tab, click button 'Customize...' to change 'Decimal Symbol' setting, replace 'comma' with 'dot'.

We apologize for the inconvenience has caused due to the problem of our software design. However we'll fixed the problem completely in the new version soon, removing the software dependence on the Windows settings.

Mise à jour de la traduction française / French localization updated

2007-03-24T00:40:00.000-07:00

Bonjour à tous !

La traduction française de JetPhoto Studio a été mise à jour en version 3.5.2 :
- les nouvelles fonctionnalités de JetPhoto Studio 3.5.x ont été traduites
- des erreurs ont été corrigées
- des erreurs n'ont probablement pas été corrigées :-)

Pour franciser JetPhoto Studio 3.5.x :
- décompresser l'archive "French_3.5.2.zip" : on obtient un fichier "Localizable.ini" et un dossier "Twain.plugin"
- déplacer "Localizable.ini" dans "c:\Program Files\JetPhoto Studio 2007\Resources\French" et remplacer le fichier "Localizable.ini" existant
- ouvrir "Twain.plugin", déplacer le fichier "Localizable.ini" qu'il contient dans "c:\Program Files\JetPhoto Studio 2007\Plugins\Twain.plugin\Resources\French" et remplacer le fichier "Localizable.ini" existant
- aller dans le menu "Edit", puis "Options" et dans la rubrique "Language", cocher "Français"
- quitter et relancer JetPhoto Studio

Et voilà !

---------------------------------------------------
Hello all !

The French localization of JetPhoto Studio has been updated to v3.5.2 :
- new features translated
- some errors corrected
- probably some errors remaining too :-)

To add French localization into a standard JetPhoto Studio 3.5.x :
- uncompress "French_3.5.2.zip" : you will get a "Localizable.ini" file and a "Twain.plugin" folder
- move 'Localizable.ini" to "c:\Program Files\JetPhoto Studio 2007\Resources\French" and replace the existing "Localizable.ini" file
- open "Twain.plugin", move the 'Localizable.ini" it contains to "c:\Program Files\JetPhoto Studio 2007\Plugins\Twain.plugin\Resources\French" and replace the existing "Localizable.ini" file
- go to "Edit", "Options" and choose "Français" in the "Language" options menu
- quit and relaunch JetPhoto Studio

Et voilà !

French Localization v3.5.2

Fixed A Website Manager Bug

2007-03-21T07:17:00.000-07:00

Bug specific:
The software hangs when connecting to a server to manage it with Website Manager in JetPhoto Studio 3.5.1 or earlier versions.

Solution:
Just fixed this bug, please download a new updated version

http://www.jetphotosoft.com/web/download/JetPhoto_Studio_win3.5.2.exe

This problem was caused by a compatibility problem of a windows socket DLL that is provided by Microsoft, we added a patch in this new installation package.

Fixed A Time Zone Problem

2007-03-18T07:11:00.000-07:00

A New Zealand user reported a bug, said, the time zone GMT+13:00 is not listed to be selected when matching photos with GPS tracks. GMT + 13 hours is the daylight saving time of New Zealand. Now just fixed this bug, added a daylight option for each time zone.

More Language Localizations, We Need Your Contribution!

2007-03-15T04:13:00.000-07:00

Thanks for KMi, he helps JetPhoto to finish a French localization before.

As our planned task, besides English and Chinese, we'd like to have more language supports in JetPhoto Studio Mac/Windows and JetPhoto Server. In the latest JetPhoto Studio Windows version, our software designing reserves a space to hold French and German localization data to translate software interface into these languages.

The method is very easy, if you want to translate JetPhoto Studio Windows version to German, please do steps as below:

1. go to the folder where JetPhoto Studio is installed, example C:\Program Files\JetPhoto Studio\ . You will find a subfolder named Resources, and open it.

2. copy file Localizable.ini in subfolder English to subfolder German, and overwrite the old one in subfolder German.

3. open file Localizable.ini with any text editor, and translate each item one by one.

Note: there is one exception. when you translate item LanguageName, you should keep it as LanguageName = German, can't be as LanguageName = Deutsch.

4. now test the translated interface, please open JetPhoto Studio, click menu item Edit->Options, open dialog box Options, set lanugage as Deutsch.

Now, finished!! if you also want to share your translation to other people, you could leave comments here or send email to us. We are pleased to put your translated file to our blog or package it into the standard download of JetPhoto Studio.

It's not only German or French, and we'd like to support more!

Hello World!

2007-03-09T10:57:00.000-08:00

JetPhoto Blog is opening today! say hello to all...

The first time when we announced JetPhoto is the spring of 2005, at Macworld Expo, San Francisco. Our original goal is just making a free software to organize and share digital photos...

Gary Flint is a musician, poem translator and my good friend. Three years ago, when he told me his requirement, Gary was designing his new website named MountainSongs.net introducing Chinese ancient poetry to western. An efficient photo software is needed to manage his China traveling photos and publish them onto this website. Gary always say poetry is a kind of entertainment, but I say software development is another kind of entertainment, and photography also! So our JetPhoto development began.

My name is Robin, a major software designer of JetPhoto. And, Bob is our JetPhoto Server designer, Ping is our Flash and UI component designer, Mike is the Mac and Windows application designer, Bing is the Windows foundation designer... here is our JetPhoto team, and we all lives in Shanghai, China.

With the BLOG opening today, please join us! if you have any question or suggestion for our software, let's know!
