Version 3.0.0

Big Features

• Secure Networking: Due to a secure networking layer, Instagram allows Photodesk users 100 likes / 60 comments per hour again

• New Sidebar: There's an entirely new sidebar that looks a lot cleaner and is a joy to use. The old sidebar is still available via the small button at the bottom right of the new sidebar
• Search & Filter Facilities: You can use "Load More" to load a lot of items (say 10.000 images for a particular tag) and then refine very detailed and specific searches on these items (Only images shot after date xx and before date xy, only with tagged users, only those which contain this text, etc). You can find this functionality in the filter popup, under "Custom Search".
• Integrated news: Instagram news, Photodesk news, Favorite Friends updates, new follow requests, it's all in one handy news interface now.
• Integrated Search: Just type something into the new search bar at the top, it will search for tags, locations and users with that name.
• Sync Finder Tags: Every image/video you put into a folder is automatically stored on disk and Finder tags will be added for the album's name and any folder that the album is in. This makes it easy to find items that you downloaded right in the Finder with specific tags applied to them. You can activate this in the preferences under advanced.

Features

• Zoom: Images in Detail View can now be zoomed either by pinching or by using the buttons or shortcuts

I.e. if an image is selected, and "c" is pressed, the window will not appear at the mouse position but at the lower center of the image that is selected.
• Added new information to the Detail View so that one can see the username and the full name of the user that shot the image.
• Added initial support for users that are tagged in an image. Currently, only the usernames are listed, their location on screen is not yet displayed, this will be added in a future release.

• Add Tags to Images: You can now right click one or more images and add your already defined favorite sidebar tags as a tag comment to an image. This allows you to quickly tag your own images with your most beloved tags.
• Icon View Full Keyboard Navigation: C = Add Comment, L = Like or Unlike, K = only Like, D = open in detail view, Q = quicklook preview, left arrow = previous image, right arrow = next image.
• Export Favorite Friends / Favorite Tags: There're new functions for exporting favorite friends and favorite tags. These can then be used, for example, in statistical processing.

New Features:

• Set Distance when searching in Map View. Now you can define for Map View searches how detailed you want the search region to be
• When downloading images, the caption, tags, and the location data will now be stored as IPTC data

Changes:

• Rewrote parts of the news system. For the most recent images, the news system should now deliver much more precise and better news.

• The sidebar now reloads its information (Follows, Followers, Pictures) much quicker
• The "Private account, do you want to request to follow" box can now be turned off. After that, clicking "Follow" will automatically follow a person or request followship. Visiting a private profile will show the profile with a follow button and not display the popup box.
• Added better error messages when network errors with the Instagram servers happen
• Rewrote the underlying code for following people. It better displays the current state now (attempting to follow, requesting folloship, requested followship).
• Changed the blue progress indicator at the bottom to more reliably show when the app is loading data
• Added a notification in the map view for a particular user if none of the images of that user contain any location information
• Slightly improved the memory footprint of the app
• A slew of networking changes that should, overall, result in much faster image and data load times.
• Also managed to reduce the amount of requests necessary for normal operation, so the app should be able to continue working longer without running into the 5000 requests limit
• Simplified some parts of the UI
• Removed Support for Snow Leopard. This is because by now Snow Leopard users are a very small fraction of the PhotoDesk users, and Lion - which is also already quite old - brought a lot of good technologies which allow for lots of cool features.

Bugfixes:

• Also added the fast user preview to the "Comments" Popover view, for similar purposes.
• Added more functionality to the menu bar icon.
• Greatly improved the feedback dialog
• Expanded the arrow navigation for the icon view that was included in version 2.3.0. Now, when you forward through the icons with the arrow keys, the view will automatically scroll and load new images if necessary. I've also added support for quick preview (see below).

• Fixed a bug where sometimes not all comments would be loaded in detail mode or in the comment popover

Version 2.3.0

New Features, 10.9 Mavericks Only

• Added support for maps for each view. There's now a new view mode that shows you the images aligned on a map.
• The image detail view now has a mini map that allows you to see where the image in question was shot
• New Category - Places: Here, you can search for locations to see which pictures were being shot there. You can also store favorite places in the sidebar.

Features:

• Added a new filter mode. It allows you to filter the current visible images based on type (image / video), whether they contain geo information, amount of likes, and amount of comments.
• Added a new preferences that allows you to set the size of the font that is being used for the image icon views
• Added more keyboard navigation options to the icon views:
  - Left Arrow now takes the selection to the next element on the left
  - Right Arrow now takes the selection to the next element on the right
  That way, you can navigate through images and like them accordingly without touching the mouse.
  Important, the mouse hover has priority over the visible selection. So if you have one item selected, and you hover over another item, the hovered item will be liked / unliked if you press ‘L’. So when you want to use the keyboard to hover through your images and like / open them, make sure that you’re not accidentally hovering over an image.
• Enabled the ‘K’ button for the detail view, too

• Fixed a bug where URL's that did not start with http or https would not open

Version 2.2.5

Features:

• Added the 'k' key to the shortcuts. This will only like the current image, but not unlike it if it is already liked.
• When downloading multiple items, and there're videos in there, PhotoDesk will now download the videos instead of the images for these items

Changes:

• Added an error message that appears if an item cannot be liked anymore because the user hit the like limit on Instagram.
• Added an error message that appears if the Instagram token / session is turned invalid on the Instagram side. In that case, it is required to reset the token by going to the Instagram website and revoking access for PhotoDesk.
• Added higher delays for the multi-like and multi-comment functionality. The reasoning behind this is, that Instagram has a ghost follower / bot detector now, and when you like too many items too fast in a row, your account will be flagged. PhotoDesk tries to insert delays beween multiple likes so that you like less over a certain period of time and thus can't flag your account.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug that could in rare circumstances cause PhotoDesk to consume 100% cpu in the tag view
• Fixed a bug that could sometimes lead to 100% cpu in any view

Features:

• Added basic support for Mac OS X 10.9, Mavericks. More to come, stay tuned.

Features:

Version 2.0.2

New Features:

• The detail view features a reload action now which allows to reload all the comments in the comment list.
• Picture Sync enhancements: There's a new 'Sync Now' button, which triggers sync right away.
• Picture Sync enhancements: There's a new progress indicator that lists how long it takes until all pictures are synced.
• Picture sync enhancements: Instagram now also syncs the picture published date. So the file creation date on the harddisk is equal to the date when the image was taken / posted to Instagram.
• Support for the new Mountain Lion sharing system. Currently, Mountain Lion doesn't support Facebook sharing. Until this is working, the old InstaDesk sharing mechanism and the Mountain Lion sharing mechanism will be displayed side by side (click the 'more' button to access the Mountain Lion sharing in the share dialoge). When Mountain Lion adds Facebook Sharing (presumably this Fall) InstaDesk will switch to the new system completely.
• The 'Follow' list now displays a small yellow icon in the bottom left that indicates if the user in question is following you back.

Changes:

• Added support for the 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' keys to scroll the feed and icon views.
• Made the like and comment icons in the icon hover view more beautiful.
• Made the comment list faster, smoother, and more responsive on Lion and Mountain Lion systems
• Enhanced the detail view comment loading process so that it should happen far less that InstaDesk doesn't load all comments (i.e. only 5 even though there're 120). Please note that everything beyond 199 is cut by Instagram. If an image has more than 199 comments, InstaDesk can't display all comments since Instagram doesn't serve this data.
• Under Mountain Lion, clicking a news notification will also remove it from the News section.
• Also under Mountain Lion, deactivating Notifications will also remove all remaining notifications from the Notification center
• If the user is scrolling in the feed, i.e. if the user is not in the most recent area of feed items, the auto reload will not trigger in order to prevent the scenario where the feed would reload again when the user was just half way through it, requiring her to scroll all the way down again.
• InstaDesk now notifies the user when the Instagram feed needs to be reset with the iPhone or Android app (until Instagram fixes this issue).
• The popover comment controller from the feed view now respects the comment sort order when opening the 'add comment' text box. I.e. when the comment sort order is set to oldest first, when the comment text box grows big, it will also scroll the scroll view down, so that the bottom comment is still visible. If the comment set order is set to newest first, on the other hand, it will not scroll so that the top comment is still visible.
• Changed the slideshow icons to be retina compatible
• Changed the detail view information icons to be retina compatible
• The login sheet now sports a 'cancel' button so that InstaDesk can be quit if the network doesn't work.
• The menu icon has been adopted again to display more detail in retina mode.
• Added a 'Why no uploads' help entry in the menu to make it easier for people to understand that the lack of file uploads is not InstaDesk's fault.
• In the Find User dialog, added the ability to double click a user to open it

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug in Picture Sync that caused it to not work in sandboxed environments (Lion, Mountain Lion).

• Fixed several race conditions where the Favourite Friends sync would crash InstaDesk.
• Fixed an issue where the Favourite Friend sync would cause the InstaDesk window to not update anymore.

• Fixed a bug where sometimes the message in a comment would be empty.
• Fixed a bug where the contents of the carousel at the bottom of the detail view would not appear if opening an image really quickly after entring a section
• Fixed a bug where when InstaDesk was hidden, it would suddenly appear again.
• Disabled the Like & Follow buttons in the follower table view for the current user (since it is impossible anyway to follow yourself).
• Fixed a bug in the News system where it wouldn't work correctly under Mountain Lion in certain corner cases.
• Fixed an issue, where the detail view would sometimes display the current user's name and 'You' as likers of an image.
• Fixed several Core Animation related issues that could cause freezes or crashes in certain environments.

Almost all parts of the interface have been changed to accomodate for the new layout and fit better with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. The icon has been changed, too, to celebrate version 2.0. I hope you like it.

• Multiple user support. InstaDesk now lets you easily switch to a different user. By clicking on the account icon in the top left.
• The detail view now supports a 'mini gallery' that shows you all other images in the current selection. You can navigate it either with mouse or touchpad gesturs, or with your mouse wheel, or by clicking and moving like you would click and move the scrollbar paddle.
• Images can now be downloaded simply by dragging and dropping them on your desktop or any folder on your Mac. This also works with multiple selections.
• Introducing a new Follow / Follower view that shows you all persons in a list. This is faster to navigate than the old view, displays more information, and even allows you to select multiple persons and follow / unfollow them at once. Also, you can sort by specified fields simply by clicking the headers of the table.
• For selected views, there is now a 'Load More' menu entry, that allows you to load all, or a huge amount of items at once.
• Selecting images has been changed from Single-Click to Double-Click. This makes it easier to select a set of images and act upon it (Liking, Slideshow, etc). You can get the old behaviour back by changing it to Single-Click open in the Preferences. You can select multiple images by drawing selections with your mouse, or shift-clicking individual items.

New Features:

• When you select a couple of images you can now press L to like them all. This is limited to up to 25 images.

• The icon view now features a right-click menu which lets you act upon one or multiple selected items.

• The comment fields now save current comments as drafts until they're being posted or until they're manually removed. When quitting InstaDesk, they're lost though.
• The comment field now contains a character counter so that one doesn't accidentally hit the Instagram comment length limit.
• For private accounts, there is now a "Requests" view that allows you to allow / deny / block requests.
• Changed the "Like" heart icon to be smaller so that it can't be accidentally clicked anymore. The old, big, icon can still be re-activated in the preferences.
• From the Userview, it is now possible to block or unblock a user.
• There's a new indicator that shows you whether a user is following you (small yellow triangle in the bottom left)

• 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

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.

• 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.
