New:
- Drag and drop uploading has been added to the Organizer. Simply drag photos from your computer to the main panel in the Organizer to begin uploading, just like you could do in the gallery. Note: dragging photos to the left panel in the Organizer will do nothing.
- Accidentally sharing a link to the Organizer will now redirect visitors to the actual gallery, instead of taking the visitor to a 404. This applies to Public galleries only.
- Login errors now indicate whether or not the email address OR the password was incorrect. No more trying to figure out which was wrong because we wouldn't tell you which it was.
- Updated our EXIF tool to handle several new lenses and cameras. Image Info will now properly display these devices.


Bug Fixes:
- The "Image Info" panel was showing Map Data, even if the Gallery Setting for Map data was off. No longer!
- Pro's can now properly save Contacts from their Order History into their Address Book. It wasn't saving as it should have.
- Fixed an issue that was causing some of the blue help guides to never go away. If you go through all of them, they'll no longer pop-up.

Thank you! Sharing a link to organizer is a good one - have done it countless times.

Prompting login errors - a step back in security, in my personal opinion. Let's jsut say it is a theoretical weakness:)

Where is that bug that I reported recently? I could find it anywhere in the fixes list??? Just kidding:)

I agree. Why provide ANY information to an unauthorized person trying to login to your account?

Isn't this a security violation of sorts?

I would prefer that login errors not indicate what was wrong - that gives someone who is trying to hack into my account information on what they need to focus on to break in.

We used to think that it improved security as well, which is why we kept it ambiguous, bit it turns out it doesn't actually improve security at all, and just ends up being painful for valid customers who are trying to get into their accounts. We have other measures in place to detect and stop attempted security breaches that are much more effective.
