CORRECTIONS / BUGFIXES:

• Login: When my-picturemaxx had been running for a few minutes without login a message about failed login showed up. This was fixed.
• Search result / list view: Clicking on keywords within a search result might have caused a crash of the session. This was fixed.
• Search result / lightbox: Opening the my media suppliers profile by clicking the info button at the thumbnail was optimized.

SELECTED FEATURES / OPTIMIZATIONS / INNOVATIONS:
 
SECURITY

• IP Restrictions: A new feature allows you to create an IP-based restriction for all your Access IDs. Your users must then come from a verified IP or IP range in order to log in, ensuring no one outside your trusted network can use your Access IDs.
  Note: This is a custom add-on feature (not included in the standard my-picturemaxx). If you're interested in using IP Restrictions, please contact support@picturemaxx.com. We will discuss your requirements and send you an offer.
   

USABILITY

• Send by Email: The user experience for entering email addresses now emulates standard mail applications. For example, when you select an email address from the dropdown menu, you can insert it using the "Tab" or "Enter" key.

• Multiple Media Preview: When you select a few media files and open the preview gallery (right-click > Show Preview), you can now use your keyboard's arrow keys to navigate easily between the files.

• Information Icons: The user experience for the various information icons has been unified. When you click an icon, the requested info appears and only disappears after a new mouse click. When you hover over an icon, the info appears immediately and disappears when you move the mouse away. This behavior applies to the media supplier "i" button, the price calculator icon, and the "Lightbox info" icon.

• Windows / Screen Resolution: When you work in Windows with a higher screen resolution, the "text size scaling" setting now is in full effect.
   

CORRECTIONS / BUGFIXES:

• Administration > Downloads Overview Export: Previously, in order to export an Excel file of downloads, you had to select an Access ID. You can now export without selecting an Access ID. (Show filters > Export).
• Media Filter: Previously, if you entered a date manually, the date filtering was only in effect if you clicked the Media Filter "Start searching" button. With this fix, the date is always considered, regardless of how you start your search.
• Access ID Selection: The dialog for selecting an Access ID was optimized.
• Preview: The display of preview images has been improved.
• Shopping Cart: The shopping cart label has been optimized so that the view is more stable and smooth when opening the shopping cart.
• Search History: When switching between Access IDs, the entire available space is used for displaying the search history.
   
   
   

SELECTED FEATURES / OPTIMIZATIONS / INNOVATIONS:

USAGE NOTE

• Usage note permissions (Administration > Permission groups > edit):
  The existing "Download without usage note" group permission was renamed "Download high resolution without a usage note."
• A new permission was added — "Download thumbnails and previews without a usage note."
  Using the above, administrators can determine which sizes require usage notes and which don't.
• Usage notes / downloads overview (Administration > Downloads overview):
  When you export download statistics, any internal-only usage-note fields (those which are configured not for relay to media suppliers) are now labeled "(internal)."

CORRECTIONS / BUGFIXES:

• Retina displays: The display of icons in lightboxes was fixed/optimized.
• Usage notes: The instant download dialog now forces the user to fill out any required usage note fields.

SELECTED FEATURES / OPTIMIZATIONS / INNOVATIONS:

DOWNLOAD

• Download Use Note: Usage notes for download can be individually structured and, in particular, allow very meaningful download evaluations. Whilst so far only one field was provided for free input, now it's possible to create a field layout that is fitting to your individual demands and can  consist of several fields. The individual fields are displayed as separate columns in the download overview. In addition, it is possible to control which field information is to be transmitted to the media providers. The creation of the field layout requires administrative rights.

SEARCH RESULTS

• Optimized search results: We optimized the my-picturemaxx search results area. Results now build more smoothly, particularly when the synchronous search setting is in use.

LIGHTBOX

• Lightbox Drag & Drop: You can now drag and drop images from a lightbox or search results into an unopened lightbox in your "Projects" sidebar.
• Lightbox Context Menu: The available options have been extended, so that the essential actions can now be used even faster.
• Lightbox "i"info Button: Is now displayed in orange when an information text has been added to the lightbox.
• Lightbox Current View: Scroll position is stored when switching between lightboxes; After changing back and forth, the lightbox is opened in the position as it was left.

OTHERS

• Dock elements: Individual elements could have been previously unpacked from the application and placed anywhere (even on a second screen). Now it is also possible to connect several docked elements together. As a result, individual views can be arranged even more clearly and structured.
• Proxy: We optimized the settings for proxy servers, especially those for MacOS.
• Project Folder: When creating a project folder, the default name "Enter desired project name" is stored. Now the focus remains directly on the name, so that you can enter the desired name by direct keyboard input. An additional click on "context menu > Rename" is therefore unnecessary.

CORRECTIONS / BUGFIXES:

• Search result: When switching between the view modes "Mixed view" and "By provider (unfolded)" sometimes not the entire window area was used to display the pictures.
• Closing my-picturemaxx: A crash will no longer occur when the metadata widget is undocked.
• Quick filter for date: When the media filter is closed, a quick filter is displayed. Within the Date Quick Filter, the "from" and "to" fields were sometimes not filled properly when a period was selected from the list.
• Media Filter > Date Filter: The date selection window has been visually adjusted to better fit the different color schemes.

SELECTED FEATURES / OPTIMIZATIONS / INNOVATIONS:

MEDIA SEARCH

• Search results: If the media search is open, you can jump directly to the result of this provider by clicking on a provider in the Places list.
• Series: Several series can now be marked in parallel from the search result and opened at the same time.
• Advanced Search: New setting to automatically close the dialog when searching.

OTHERS

• Lightboxes: The presentation has been technically revised so that the display of many lightboxes in a project folder and many media within a lightbox is built faster.
• Notes: Notes on Places, lightboxes and media in the lightbox: Hyperlinks are now automatically recognized, highlighted and opened when text is entered in the external standard browser.
• Files tab: The presentation has been improved, i.e. by alternating background color per line.

 
CORRECTIONS / BUGFIXES:

• Media size: Correct display even if information in the metadata contains an incorrect value.
• Lightbox: Last lightbox in a project folder can be easily deleted.
• Email dispatch: A suitable error message will be displayed if the password is wrong.
• Notes: A warning message is displayed when the maximum number of characters in the lightbox has been reached.
• Behavior for a right-click inside a lightbox: Deselecting the currently selected media by right-clicking is now prevented.
• Media filter: Simultaneous display of media filter tab and quick filter is prevented.
