JuxtaPhoto 1.5 RC 1

Version 1.5 is almost ready for prime-time. There were a lot of changes and before it becomes official I’m making it available for anyone interested to try out. There were a few changes to the database so you’ll need to run modules/upgrade.php once you install the files — as always, please backup your database before hand.

Here’s a list of the improvements:

• Supported file formats now include TIF, PNG, GIF, BMP, and PSD.
• RAW support is experimentally supported, specifically NEF files. A lot of progress still needs to be made though. You’ll need to be using ImageMagick and additionally dcraw to process these files.
• IPTC data is parsed on import and stored in the EXIF array. IPTC Object Title are imported into the photo name, Caption fields into the description, Categories into the tags, and so on.
• Added the ability to set an image to be the preview for an album.
• Added a copyright field to images.
• Added a new setting “ignoreIPs” in data/config.php where you can enter an array of IP addresses that the image viewed counter ignores.
• Created a new theme “blanched” which provides an alternate look to choose from. You can change this in your data/config.php file to take a look. You may need to clear out the data/compiled/ directory for the changes to take effect.

Feel free to post comments or email me about issues or suggestions that you want in before the official release.

So what are you waiting for? Go download it now.
