We can announce that we’re working hard towards a new Viewbook launch with a completely new Viewbook. We can’t give you exact dates, however you can expect to see changes somewhere in the second half of April (we won’t send any new password mails again this time). Of course we will announce it on our weblog, once the new Viewbook is live.

So what can you expect? A brief overview of some major changes.

Refined galleries
Our galleries have several new options, including the option for a minimal navigation bar (see picture above), autoplay, full size scrolling, and downloadable images. Some other improvements are better scaling, faster loading and pre-loading. (The photo above is one of Denis Darzacq, great work, check it out).

Complete Image Manager overhaul
A much faster image manager, but also more intuitive. Everything can be done with drag & drop: the reordering of images, to add and delete images, to delete presentations, and even to add presentations to web pages. The newest section for all of you will be the web pages editor. You can add unlimited web pages, drag & drop to sort the presentations inside your web page, customize colors and fonts, and choose the size of the thumbnails inside the web page.

Better performance: fast & stable
Besides all the aforementioned features, the new Viewbook is above all faster and more stable. Also, in the new version you can choose where to store your images (US or EU) for faster downloading.

Note: All the above features, and also the features shown in the demo videos in the ‘overview’ section are available after the launch of the new Viewbook.

Ok, enough talk for now. Let’s get back to work and get this thing online soon.
