Version 3.1 Beta Now Available for Download
Version 3.1 is now available on the Downloads page,
the most noticeable change is an improvement in the speed of displaying the
detailed display table, but there are many improvements. More details are on in
the release
Version 3.0 Released
Version 3.0 is now the release version of FFP. As with earlier versions, a new
printed user guide is available to purchase and registered users of FFP can
upgrade to version 3.0 of the software free of charge.
Version 3.0 is a major release and, amongst several improvements, introduces
tabbed sequences; up to 8 sequences can be loaded and the projectionist can
easily switch between sequences. As well as this, another facility is the
integration of the file name converter tool - FFP can interpret the file name to
deduce the author, title and subject of an image.
Website Upgrade
On January 24th, a major upgrade on the website entering system was implimented.
The big change was the introduction of "Subjects" for competitions. For any
competition, the projectionist can define a set of subjects - when the member
uploads images for such a competition, a drop down menu is available which
allows them to set the subject for each image.
Apart from the "Subjects", the competition setting pages have more "fail-safe"
warnings if you try and leave a page without saving your changes.
Finally, the code used for emailing images has been improved - with the old
version, the emailing of images would occasionally fail. This has been difficult
to tie down as it never happens on the "test" version of the website, only on
the live version(!)
New website and online entering facility
As you've discovered(!), this is the new Film Free Projection website. One of
the principle aims for this site was to make online entering of FFP based
competitions possible. If you are the club projectionist for an FFP based camera
club, you can use this site to setup a competition page tailored for your camera
club. The facility is currently in early beta test, so people who are interested
in using the facility please contact me.
