Impressed with your software, not with your support. I downloaded the trial and it seems to work very well but when I emailed a question to support two days ago, I have yet to hear a reply.

As good as a product is, decent support should be part of it. That said, it doesn't appear that AP supports media cards other than being able to save a copy of a photo onto a card for use with BB's built-in Media Player.

Any plans in the future to be able to use the desktop component to upload directly to the media card and use the BB component to view them?

Hi Larry,

As discussed in our email exchange, RIM only recently gave developers access to APIs for managing the SD card and we are trying our best to take full advantage of them. Your suggestion is a very good one and we are looking into providing this feature in future versions.

Best,
Marc

Marc - I guess my original email to you guys got lost in the ether. Since then your communications with me have been great.That's what it's about... Great software and great support. Thanks for being a champ.

Here is a list of things that we added or improved in Version 3.1 of Ascendo Photos.

• Added ability to set background colors for images. Useful for eliminating white space when images are smaller than screen.
• Added "Change Gallery" menu option to move an image from one Gallery to another.
• Corrected implementation of Private Image feature so that if user checks off the Private box, the images will not be displayed during slide shows.
• Decreased minimum Delay between Slide Show images to 2 seconds.
• Added field headers to image List View.
• Improved automatic image resize so that user can specify Best Fit, Fit to Screen or Actual size before image is displayed in emulator.
• Changed default setting for rotation step to 90°.
• Fixed track wheel/ball scroll through full screen images.
• Added "Send Several Pictures to Device" (batch load) feature to File menu.
• Corrected Rotate Clock-Wise and Counter-Clock-Wise icon arrows.
• Several improvements to menu option names and screen labels.
• Added key stoke alternatives to track ball when moving between image in full screen view. Click on SPACE, N or B to display next image, P or O for previous image, and ENTER to quit full screen view.
• Transferring photo to BlackBerry sets backlight timeout to 20 seconds so that screen doesn't power down before transfer is complete.
