Hi,

ULTIMATE Deluxe 1.8.6 launched.

Abilty to select Swiss Francs as the currency in ULTIMATE with intergration into Payal for selling your photographs in Swiss Francs, Just for our increasing number of Swiss Photographers.

Minor bug fix.  When the client pays by cheque and return to the gallery the basket is now cleared.

Thanks

Last week an Ultimate Deluxe user reported that he was recently not getting the order email generated by Ultimate, but he was getting the payment confirmation from PayPal.
 
After further investigation we found that the email was being sent from the oneFshop server, but was being identified as spam and blocked.  This is being done on the ISP's not your own aniti spam software.  The email that is sent from oneFshop has inevitabley a number of characteristics of spam (although off course it is not) the emails are all very similar to one another, it is automatically generated and it adds the clients email address as the sender although it comes from the oneFshop server.
 
THE SOLUTION.
 
1.  Contact your ISP and inform them that emails from oneFshop are not SPAM.  This is not however a quick fix as an email can go through multiple servers and aniti spam filters to reach you.

 
2. Set up a GMAIL account (orders@yourdomain.com) and redirect your email through to your normal inbox.  Gmail is different from a normal email system as you are in complete control of what is spam and not.  This has proved worked fine.  You can use GMAIL as your regular server for your normall emails that is becoming very popolar due to the very efficent spam filters and the control it gives you.  If you decide to route all your emails through GMail (I have) then you do not need to change any of your settings in your albums.

If you have changed your email address then you will need however to change the email address in your past albums to go to your new GMAIL account.  You do not need to re generate your album again.  IN your FTP software open the album>RES>DATA>CONFIG and change the email address.
 
I am sure you appreciate that this is out of our control, with the ever increasing problem of spam and the fight back it is inventible by the aniti spam software and that legitimate email are being blocked.  But the GMAIL account does solve it.

The fight back against spam will increase over time, and we do not want to rely on anyone else systems in the long run, not even Gmail.  We are thererfore investgating in adding the abilty for you to log in to your oneFshop account to see all your past order emails. Hope to release soon.

Hi,

Just downloaded Goggles' new browser "Chrome" and tested galleries created by ULTIMATE. And it is very fast.  We have recently made a lot of effort in ULTIMATE for speed in the regular browers, Firefox, IE and Safari, and it works well.  But using Chrome it is really fast.

This could be a very useful for ULTIMATE View with on-site viewing stations, as the speed is very very fast. and uses far less memory than Firefox. Cant see how you can run it in full screen mode but iam sure an addon will be developed.

The thumbnail appear almost instantly and the drag & drop is even smoother.  Google has designed this from the ground up with an emphasis on web applications such as javascript, which ULTIMATE uses a lot.

I am sure IE and Firefox will follow a similar path, which will be good news for ULTIMATE users and there clients when you want to sell your photographs on-line.

Well worth a look

The feedback I am getting from my clients has been fantastic.  Not only has it improved my sales of prints and montages, but on client meeting with the bride and groom I have been showing the system on my notebook.  I am sure it has tipped the balance in my favour in winning more bookings.
