I've updated the beta version of Photato that is available on the download link on the main site to 1.0.5.0.

The recent Facebook profile changes have caused me a few problems, but hopefully I'm back on track again now. We should be seeing the second beta in a week or two which will include the updates required by the changes to the way Facebook desktop apps save login information as well as some UI improvements. The screenshot below is a recent idea to display the album information. Hope you like it.
