SmugMug release notes: November 2024.

What’s New

This month, we’ve got a suite of improvements aimed at improving your buyers’ experience (and ultimately helping you make more money).

  • For those selling holiday cards, we’re here to help you boost your sales this holiday season. We added a helpful message that now appears when customers first access a gallery with greeting cards enabled, providing instructions on how to purchase. The message disappears when the customer interacts with the gallery and only shows during their first visit.

  • The gallery header has been improved in all styles to make sure all buying actions are grouped together and highlighted on the right. This serves to further raise the awareness of the gallery download and digital package options.

What’s Changed

  • iOS app version 4.11.19 updates
    • We’ve made it easier to find the Assistant View feature! If you’re using the Pro plan, you’ll now see a clear label in Settings, so you can quickly check if you’re logged in with the Assistant feature.
    • When creating a Shortcut, you’ll now see an accurate and tidy list of folders and galleries to choose from—making it faster and more intuitive to get organized.
    • Your uploads should now be faster and more reliable than ever as a result of a new caching library we are using to improve how photos and videos are handled during auto upload.
  • Android app version 4.10.0 updates
    • Managing your photos and videos has gotten even easier, with the new ability to add and edit keywords for multiple photos or videos at once in the Android app. 
  • Collect photos faster and more easily with drag-and-drop in the Organizer. By removing the option from the image tools menu, we’ve simplified the process, giving you a more streamlined way to gather and organize your favorite photos across galleries.
  • Adjusting cover images has been optimized for smaller devices, ensuring you have the precision and ease needed for a better experience.

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved an issue affecting the hover indicators for , “Slideshow,” “Download,” and “Share” buttons. This fix improves clarity and helps users better understand the functions of these buttons.
  • iOS Video Uploads - We fixed an issue where some videos weren’t uploading on iOS because of a permission hiccup. Your uploads should now go through smoothly—happy sharing! 
  • Duplicate Renewal Receipts - Some of you may have noticed multiple renewal receipts in your Account Settings. Our team jumped in to sort this out quickly, so things should now look clean and clear. 
  • iOS Sharing View Fixes - We fixed a couple of quirks in the Sharing view on iOS—Add Photographer is back to working reliably, and the layout looks just as it should. 
  • Gallery Images Not Displaying - A small number of customers saw a brief issue where gallery images were shown as still processing. Our team acted fast, and everything should be displaying perfectly now. 
  • iOS Auto Upload Space Issue - We resolved a glitch on iOS where auto upload paused with a “not enough space” message even when there was plenty of room. With that behind us, your uploads should flow seamlessly once again!
