Added a preference setting to disable the small 'heart' icon in order to make it more difficult to accidentally like images. Uncheck the 'Like Hover' checkbox on the 'Advanced' panel of the InstaDesk Preferences
Added support for automatic updates in the slideshow: When a slideshow is active, the slideshow settings window has a new flag 'Auto Reload Images'. When you activate it, the slideshow will continously load new images for the selected view (Tag View, popular view, feed view) and iterate over them. Set the slideshow to a certain tag (say #manhattan) and you'll see new images from manhattan all the time without having to restart the slideshow
Added the ability to save images in different file formats: JPEG, PNG, JPEG2000, TIFF, and BMP
Added better support for displaying the location of images in the detail view
Added support in the preferences for choosing different mapping providers to use when clicking the location of an image: Google Maps, Virtual Earth, Nokia Maps
Sped up the loading of images even more, especially on Snow Leopard systems
Changes:
The image list view doesn't accept accidental clicks or hover anymore when the main InstaDesk window is inactive. So that it is more difficult to accidentally like an image.
Updated InstaDesk to use Growl 1.3
Changed the name of downloaded images to stay below 31 characters so that they can also be saved on non-hfs volumes
Changed the default and minimum news reload time so that the max requests barrier is reached less easy

The Slideshow settings panel now supports clicking the label of a setting to change the setting which is in compliance with the HIG
Added support for 32bit systems again
Bugfixes:
Fixed the bug that caused the 'CRSF Login Error' for some users. This bug was introduced with a Mac OS X security updated due to a previous faulty behaviour of InstaDesk. In order to fix it, the 'Global Cookie Storage' feature had to be removed. It will be rewritten and come back in one of the next versions.

Version 1.4
Main New Features:
Favorite Friends: Completely revamped the code for the favorite friends feature.

Based on the rewrite, more functionality will be added in the next versions.
Thumbnail Details: Display detailed information about an image right in the thumbnail. Amount of comments, likes, date published and username can be set to be displayed. In addition, the info can be visible all the time or only on hover.

Sorting: InstaDesk now adds a sort button that allows to sort the contents of a view by likes, comments, date, or name
Slideshow: The slideshow has been completely revamped. It doesn't go fullscreen immediately now (though that's just one click away), one can select different background images, we added a simple Ken Burns effect, the scaling has been fixed so that it still looks good on huge screens, it is in general a lot faster, looks a lot better, and displays the published date of the current image and the username.
