What's New is version 1.0.5.0?

• Added a new image size option called "Web/Email" when publishing your scrapbook to image files. This size is perfect for sharing in the online gallery, or emailing to family and friends.
• A few minor internal changes.

New Features in v1.0.4.0

• Added drag and drop support for images from the FireFox webbrowser.
• Made it so that when importing Gallery Packs, Scrapbook MAX! checks to see if a file exists with the same name and renames the new gallery content if neccessary.
• Added the ability to import pages from other scrapbooks into your current scrapbook. This feature can be found by selecting Page > Import from the program menu.
• Added more information about where files were installed when importing templates and gallery packs.
• Added the ability to send your scrapbooks directly through Gmail, or your current SMTP server. These settings can be found by selecting Edit > Preferences from the program menu, and then clicking on the "Email" option.
• Added the option to order online photo finishing directly through Scrapbook MAX!. This feature can be found by selecting File > Publish To > Order Prints Online.
  When you add a new caption or journal text object, the font settings will default to the settings used for the last caption or journal object.
• Added a new option on the Export Template dialog called "Optimize embellishment sizes". This feature will analyze all of the embellishments added to the project and resize the resource files to the maximum dimensions currently being used in the template. If unchecked, all embellishment resource files will be included in the template at their full size. Using this option can often significantly decrease the size of the exported template. You can export templates by choosing File > Export Template from the program menu.
• Added the ability to change the location that Scrapbook MAX! uses to load and save projects. By default, the "Scrapbook MAX!" directory inside of your My Documents folder is used. If you want to change this location, first create a text file called "user.ini" and place it in ...Program Files\Scrapbook MAX!\Data. Inside of this ini file, add the following 2 lines of text:
  
  [Folders]
  BaseFolder=MyNewFolderPath
  
  where "MyNewFolderPath" is the new folder path you would like to use to save your files (eg. BaseFolder=D:\Scrapbook MAX!) If you still want to access all of your current files, go into your current documents folder and copy the 3 folders "Projects," "Published Files," and "Templates" into your newly created folder.
