Slide Show Magic v1.2.8 update

Maintenence release to allow Slide Shows to be inserted on Dreamweaver Template-based pages that were made with very old and outdated Dreamweaver versions.

Also includes these version 1.2.3 and 1.2.7 updates and enhancements:

  • Updates Fireworks Auto Mode system to support large numbers of images being processed in a single session.
  • Fixed issue in Modify Mode when source markup includes commented html.
  • Optimized Import features
  • Fixes minor positioning issue for delay slider control.
  • Works around Safari bugs to ensure full initialization when the browser's back button is used to return to a Slide Show.
  • Prevents the slide show from speeding up when using SSM URL parameters.
  • Mitigates an IE Windows JPEG bug that, in rare cases, results in JPG images having missing pixels when a fade animation is used. Missing pixels are now replaced after the fade has completed.

Important...

This Update requires that a full Slide Show Magic version is already installed on your computer. It will not work otherwise.

Do you need the update?

You only need to update If you purchased Slide Show Magic version 1.2 (prior to 08-August-2007) or version 1.2.3 (prior to 17-Sep-2007) or version 1.2.7 (prior to 18-Mar-2008).

To be certain, open Extension Manager and check your Slide Show Magic version number. If your current version is listed as 1.2.0 or 1.2.3, or 1.2.7, you need to download the 1.2.8 Update

Tip: Save the downloaded update file to the same location that contains your original Slide Show Magic extension file. Should you ever need to re-install, install the original version first, then the update.

Installation

  1. Double-click the downloaded MXP update file: P7_SSM_upd128.mxp
  2. When prompted to overwrite existing files, choose Yes To All
  3. Restart Dreamweaver to complete the update process

DO NOT Uninstall your current version. If you have already installed the v1.2.7 update, you may uninstall it as this update also includes the 1.2.7 updates. This is an update and requires that a full version is already installed on your system for a proper update. After installing the update, Extension Manager will list both the orginal (full) version and the update version.

To update existing Slide Shows

If you are updating from version 1.2.3 to 1.2.8 you do not need to update existing Slide Shows.

  1. Locate the p7ssm folder that Slide Show Magic created. This folder will be inside the same folder that contains your Slide Show Magic page. Open the folder and locate the script file p7SSMscripts.js and delete it. Dreamweaver will warn you that this file is used by one or more pages. Click Yes when asked if you'd like to Delete Anyway.
  2. Open the page(s) that contain your Slide Show(s). Open the Slide Show Magic interface as if you were going to modify your Slide Show. When the interface opens, simply click OK. The system will write an updated script file to your p7ssm folder.
  3. Repeat the above 2 steps for any other Slide Shows you may have in different folders or sites.
