I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd better let everyone know that development of Photato is still progressing, although at a somewhat reduced rate currently due to the demands of some other projects. It's unlikely that there'll be any new versions of Photato in January, but hopefully full time development will resume in February. Have a good Christmas and New Year everyone

I've updated the beta version of Photato that is available on the download link on the main site to 1.0.5.0. This release addresses a number of stability issues which could cause the application to hang or generate an exception stack trace. There are also a number of other fixes that should improve resource usage. I didn't explicity announce the last couple of beta releases on the blog, although in my previous post I discussed the updated login experience. This release continues to use the semi-integrated Facebook login pages.

The logging in to Facebook experience in Photato leaves something to be desired. Unfortunately Facebook themselves require that all 3rd party desktop applications use their login web pages to log a user into Facebook. This is normally only a one time process for a given user on a particular PC, so it's not a major problem, but it is one that I want to make a smooth as I possibly can.

I've updated the website a little, so there is now a simple home page for Photato and a public link for downloading the latest beta. There is also a fairly minimal FAQ on the Support page which will be added to over the coming weeks. The Blog and Forum have been themed as well to fit with the style of the main site. Hope you like it.

It's taken a while, but the new beta of Photato is available to download over on the forum. If you've already registered you'll be able to download it straight away, if not, simply apply for membership and once your application has been approved you'll have access to it. There are details of what's changed in the forum post
