John's Background Switcher 5.9.0.9

Version 4.12 of John’s Background Switcher for Windows follows hot on the heels of 4.11 and resolves an issue on Windows 10 where running the JBS installer would result in an error complaining that the certificate was corrupt or invalid.

Features and Changes:

11682: Update Pixabay integration as the API has changed

CHANGED: Pixabay made a couple of small changes to their API so now JBS incorporates them. Yay!

11109: Remove Picasa web albums integration as Google deprecated the authentication mechanism

CHANGED: When Google Photos was released by Google they deprecated the authentication mechanism JBS used to access Picasa Web Albums. I’ve removed Picasa integration entirely and aim to add full Google Photos integration at some point in the future.

Bug Fixes:

11776: Update 500px integration to use full sized photos

FIXED: Now that 500px allows 3rd party applications to use full sized pictures JBS will now use the largest 500px photos it can for your desktop.

11710: last.fm authentication and integration is broken!

FIXED: Changes to the last.fm API meant JBS no longer worked properly. This has now been corrected.

11164: GDI+ error or missing montage pictures on the desktop

FIXED: Corrected a random GDI+ error – although I’m sure that’s not the last I’ll hear of it!

11110: Crash when getting albums from SmugMug

FIXED: This problem has now been corrected.

Contains a few minor fixes including removing friend-related Facebook functionality that Facebook no longer allows, the removal of Google image search functionality (boo!) and translation of the UI into Portuguese-Brazilian and Polish.

Features and Changes

9476: Change all Flickr URLs to use secure https ones

CHANGED: Flickr will shortly be deprecating their http API endpoints in favour of encrypted https ones. So in advance of that JBS now only interacts with Flickr over encrypted https.

9490: Add support for Reddit image feeds

FEATURE: You can now add reddit feeds to JBS and it’ll pick from any pictures in the feed. Feeds such as http://www.reddit.com/r/wallpaper.rss or http://www.reddit.com/r/spaceporn.rss and many more besides. You basically add “.rss” onto the end of the reddit URL and put it into the RSS Feeds section of JBS and you’re good to go!

9636: Add the option to restrict 500px searches by category (e.g. ‘fresh’ landscape photos)

FEATURE: You can now choose from any of the categories 500px has when selecting from Popular, Editors choice, Upcoming or Fresh photos if you want to narrow down the exact photos you want to see.

Bug Fixes

9224: If you used individual picture modes for picture sources then the collage mode wouldn’t be remembered

FIXED: No, you weren’t going crazy, it was definitely a bug!

9351: When choosing photos from some Flickr users the ‘Use largest available image size’ option would have no effect

FIXED: Due to some inconsistencies in the Flickr API the full size photos from some users were not available when querying for photos. However now if you’ve selected ‘Use largest available image size’ and you’re using a single picture per monitor, JBS will go and get the original image as it should do.

9192: No photos found when you add a private Flickr photo set to JBS

FIXED: Under certain circumstances JBS would report that it couldn’t find any pictures for certain Flickr photo sets. This has now been corrected.

9529: Dropbox does not appear on the ‘Set Picture Modes’ dialog

FIXED: Oops, I neglected to add Dropbox to the source-specific picture mode dialog. Bad John!

9661: JBS doesn’t fill all monitors with different DPIs on Windows 8.1

FIXED: If you ran Windows 8.1 with multiple monitors of different sizes and chose (or let Windows choose) to have different DPI on each monitor, then JBS would leave annoying blank space around at least one of the monitors and not fill the screen. This behaviour has now been corrected.

не совсем ясен смысл этой разработки, ведь всё тоже самое умеет и Винда!
