This morning we’re pushing a smallish auto-update for ProPhoto4 users on auto-upgrade-capable web hosts. This particular update is primarily a small pile of bug-fixes we’ve uncovered in the last few weeks, some of which were related to all of the new grid functionality that we pushed in the last auto update. The pile was large enough and a few of the bugs annoying enough that we thought it worth pushing out an auto update.

-GOTCHA-If your host doesn’t do auto-updates, you can download the latest build from within your admin area, under ProPhoto => Customize => Site Settings => Misc => ProPhoto Updates. Tutorial for updating from downloaded zip can be found here.-/-
