  • OVERALL
    Feature/Benefit Type
    New Database Structure that now allows 5 Minute Photo Loader and Viewer to be run on Windows 32-bit and/or 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 or 2008. New/Enhancement
    Order printing now allows for "Optional" Photographer Logo, Company/Contact Information, Area for Customer Contact/Mailing Information and Sub-total, Shipping, Sales Tax and Grand Totals. These are all optional so photographer can turn on/off what they want to show on printed order. New/Enhancement
    Option to create separate folders of Images, using Cart ID/Customer Name, for each order submitted for easier and quicker order fulfillment (for Printing or Burning to CD). New/Enhancement
    LOADER
    Feature/Benefit Type
    Now "Optionally" allows 5 Minute Photo Folders (Original, Printing & Viewing) to each be placed in separate custom drive/folder locations. Allows a lot of flexibility such as placing Original images on external drive, Printing images on Print Station and Viewing images on centralized server. New/Enhancement
    Prevents non 8.3 file names from being processed which violates Loader processing requirements. Fix
    Allows deletion of Multiple Orders or Albums by using SHIFT-Select and CTRL+Select. New/Enhancement
    Allows Pre-Loaded Game/Competition Information to be imported from external .CSV file. New
    Updates Orders/Cart Image Path Information when Game/Competition Folders are Renamed (using Loader's Rename Utility). Fix
    Allow special characters comma (,), plus (+) and period (.) to be used in Event/Game/Competition names. New
    If Event (Age Group, Division, Class) is deleted, removed or renamed, the Event List is automatically updated. Fix
    VIEWER
    Feature/Benefit Type
    Option to Allow Viewing Stations to be configured from Shared Configuration File on Server rather than having to manually configure each Viewing Station separately. Viewing Stations can also be configured differently by using Local Configuration File on Viewing Station. It's Your Choice! New/Enhancement
    Ability to show customers unlimited borders or templates with custom naming of border/template (even though feature allows unlimited we recommend limiting options to about 6 to prevent customer confusion). New/Enhancement
    New Shopping Cart Language tab to allow custom text on cart buttons and prompts. New 
    Option to force customer to enter Name/Phone # before putting images in Cart vs using automated Cart ID. Prompt for information is user-definable by photographer. New 
    Event Drop Down is now at upper left vs lower left of Main Screen for a more intuitive interface with customer and allows for longer Event names. Also has user configurable Title/Heading for Event Drop Down (i.e Select Age Group, Select Event, Select Division, etc.). New/Enhancement
    Forcing Customer to enter a password for Saving/Recalling Cart/Album is now "Optional". New/Enhancement
    Option to Allow Appended Camera ID's to be shown as either Upper or Lower Case Letters. New/Enhancement
    Fixed problem not finding image when an image was deleted via Loader Delete Image Utility and Customer was using PREV/NEXT to go through that particular game/competition's images. Fix 
    Small 5 Minute Photo copyright text (not logo) has been added back to Viewer Screen(s) in lower left hand corner. (If interested, 5 Minute Photo can provide a custom version of the Viewer without the copyright for an additional license/fee.) New
    Added option having Viewer show the "Most Recent" event as the Default event rather than Photographer having to pick Default Event (based upon Event Folder's Date/Time Stamp). Fix 
    "Optional" Custom ?/Help links on most screens (Main, Thumbs, Preview, Shopping Cart, etc.) to allow Photographer to provide custom HELP to their Customers using simple .TXT files. New/Enhancement
    Option to Disable "Submit Order" button in cart. Great for using Cart as an "Album Only" feature and/or when Photographer wants to use their own order forms. New/Enhancement
    More intuitive and larger buttons and drop downs when using Touch Screens. New/Enhancement
    Fixed problem when adding "New" Events (Events, Classes, Age Groups, Divisions, etc.), the Event Drop Down list did not get updated and required and Exit and Return to refresh. The Event List is now automatically updated on a regular basis to show newly added Events. Fix 
    Fixed error when Event names were manually renamed or deleted and they were the Default Event. Fix 
    No longer shows Events (Events, Classes, Age Groups, Divisions, etc.) in Event drop down if the Events do not contain any Games/Competitions or images. Fix/Enhancement
    Fixed problem when changing Event drop down and mouse was left in drop down causing use of mouse scroll wheel to change event rather than scroll list of Games/Competitions. Fix 
    Optionally Allow Shipping/Handling Fees to be Added to Orders. Option to make Shipping Taxable or Non-Taxable depending on local tax regulations. Shipping charges only added when Print Sizes not indicated as printed onsite are ordered. New/Enhancement

    Option to Show Sub-Total, Shipping, Sales Tax and Grand Total in Shopping Cart as Images are added/removed from Cart. New/Enhancement
