v1.9.2 released, fixes thumbnails displaying on Windows (non-Latin)
Sep 3rd
New version 1.9.2 fixes following issues:
- Windows: thumbnails for files with non-Latin characters in the file path are not displayed
- Mac: Stock Agencies window pop-us each time the application starts
- Mac: GUI skin automatically changed after the installation
v1.9.1 fixes iStockphoto login, introduces Java 6 native
Aug 14th
The new ProStockMaster v1.9.1 fixes iStockphoto login and upload of stock photos to the microstock agency, following the latest “F5″ changes on the iStock web. It is also the first version of our microstock software which was compiled with Java 6, both Mac and Windows. PSM v1.9.1 simply runs faster than older versions. If you got Windows 7 64-bit or Vista 64-bit I recommend you to download and install Java 64-bit. The latest ProStockMaster v1.9.1 will perfectly run with 64-bit Java, and you get even more performance benefits.
Note that if you upgrade to v1.9.1 from anything older than v1.9.0 you have to install the full version of ProStockMaster. Follow this instructions to do so.
Please do not panic if you see this error message when you run the new software:
It’s OK, it just says that you are running Windows 7 or Vista 
The 1-minute solution for that is described in question #3 in our FAQ
v1.9.0 released
Aug 1st
We have released ProStockMaster v1.9.0. The new release speeds up stock photos thumbnails displaying and folders browsing.
New & faster thumbnails creation mechanism
On Mac, v1.9.0 also eliminates the dependencies on the old PowerPC code and Apple Rosette, and runs with Java 6 whenever it is available.
No Rosetta anymore! Faster Intel-native Java
v1.9.0 is a major release with some new stuff inside and we highly recommend to download and install the FULL VERSION of the new release instead of using the auto-upgrade procedure, both Mac and Windows. For the Mac users installing the FULL version instead of the auto-upgrade is a must to speed up the application, so please do so.
Unfortunately, the capabilities of PSM auto-upgrade are limited and we do expect problems with auto-update this time, so again – PLEASE INSTALL THE FULL version instead of auto-upgrading.
Further releases will be based on the technology introduced in v1.9.0, so it is quite critical to make a timely update now.
How to install the full version if you already got PSM installed and want to keep your data
