5.4
Features and Changes:
- Added shared album support to Google Photos integration
- Updated Dropbox integration to support short lived authentication tokens (a change at their end – you shouldn’t notice a thing)
- Added support for image/jpg as well as the standard image/jpeg (basically working around websites returning the wrong thing)

- Added a hidden setting to disable folder sorting (ask me if you want to switch it off)
- Made some tweaks to the Google Photos UI as suggested by Google

5.3.1
Bug Fixes:
- I broke first time OneDrive and Google Photos authentication in 5.3 ? my bad!
- That’s it!
|
5.3
Features and Changes:
- Added support for Unsplash users collections and liked photos
- Added Wallhaven as a photo source (about time too!)
- Added gallery support to Flickr
- Four picture montages now use much larger pictures for improved photo quality
- You can now edit No Draw Zones
- Removed Instagram as Facebook switched off the old API and the new one requires a verified business to use
- Added the option to choose from folders and sub-folders in OneDrive and Dropbox
- You can now sort Flickr photos by relevance
- Folders are sorted alphabetically in the settings window
- Added the option to buy a license for JBS – just as a way to support it, there’s no license-only functionality
- Removed top artists from last.fm as it was broken
- Added Google Photos favourites to the selection
- For Hungarian users the shortcuts are disabled by default as they often conflict with other apps
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the settings file being locked and failing to save, thereby wiping out your settings on reboot

- Full sized Flickr photos are now correctly rotated
- Fixed some broken Reddit feeds
- Fixed a crash on some high resolution machines when bringing up the settings window

5.2
Bug Fixes:
- Crash when attempting to access the settings and they’re locked, possibly by JBS
FIXED: This tricky-to-diagnose bug, which caused most crashes in JBS for the past few versions, has finally been fixed. Yay!
- Random crash when no monitor is detected, usually on a remote desktop connection
FIXED: Fixed a crash buried deep in .NET when there is no montor detected
- When JBS hits the Google Photos API daily limit it made you re-authenticate with Google
FIXED: When JBS hit the Google Photos API quota for the day it would no longer think it was authenticated with Google. Now it remembers.
- Change the way JBS interacts with Google Photos to stop it actually hitting the daily quota limits
FIXED: I’ve implemented more fine grained caching to JBS depending on what your display options are to stop it making quite as many API calls to Google.
This should (hopefully) stop JBS Google Photos integration from failing towards the end of the day.
Fingers crossed!

5.1
Features and Changes:
- 13405: Add support for Ultra HD Wallpapers
FEATURE: You can now add RSS feeds from Ultra HD Wallpapers to JBS.
Give it a try, there are loads of superb photos to choose from!
- 13685: Update the Unsplash icon to use the new one
CHANGED: JBS now uses the newly redesigned Unsplash icon. Yay!
- 13335: Update Unsplash to remove the deprecated API methods
CHANGED: Removed the deprecated Unsplash API endpoints which includes the curated options unfortunately.
- 13704: Change Google Photos integration to use a separate browser for authentication
CHANGED: If you used device two factor authentication (rather than a code) then it wouldn’t work when authenticating JBS with Google Photos.
Now that authentication is done via a separate browser window this problem will be resolved.
Bug Fixes:
- 13743: Tumblr feeds are broken again in the European Union
FIXED: Don’t panic, Tumblr feeds in the EU are working again ? yay!
- 13738: SmugMug isn’t choosing from all photos in an album
FIXED: JBS was only getting a maximum of 200 photos from any SmugMug album and now chooses from all photos in an album.
- 13692: Artstation feeds often include emojis when it shouldn’t
FIXED: Now JBS will skip smilies when contained within an Artstation feed.
- 13673: When JBS hits the Google Photos rate limit it was trying again and so wasting an API call
FIXED: If JBS hit the Google Photos rate limit then it would do the equivalent of a hissy fit and make one more petulant call to Google’s API.
Now it’ll just quieten down like a good boy.

4.17
Features and Changes:
- Add OneDrive (personal) support
FEATURE: You can now use your OneDrive cloud storage folders as a photo source for JBS. Yay!
- Add Unsplash integration
FEATURE: You can now choose photos from the awesome photography site Unsplash.
You can either choose from curated photos, the newest, most popular or specific user’s photos as well as from search queries.
One thing’s for sure ? you’ll always get amazing photos!
- Add support for artstation feeds
FEATURE: The RSS feed functionality now supports ArtStation feeds.
- Add the option to filter out adult photos from Pixabay
FEATURE: You can now choose to filter out adult photos from Pixabay searches.
Handy in an office environment!
- Add the option to put the picture information in any corner of the screen
FEATURE: You can now choose which corner of the screen to show the picture information on.
No more having it stuck at the top-right all the time! Of course you can switch it off entirely from ‘More Settings’.
- Add a Swedish translation
FEATURE: JBS is now available in Swedish. Thanks Sopor!
- The Facebook API no longer allows non-business apps like JBS to query for users photos
CHANGED: Facebook now require apps that request photo access to be a verified business and since I’m just a guy called John Conners I’m not that.
So I’ve had to remove Facebook from JBS. Sorry about that!
- Remove 500px as they’re switching the API off
CHANGED: Unfortunately 500px have switched off their API so apps like JBS are no longer able to use them as a photo source.
It was fun while it lasted.
- Update the SmugMug API to the latest version
CHANGED: SmugMug is about to switch off the old API JBS uses so I’ve updated the integration to use the latest version.
Unfortunately for the time being that means JBS doesn’t support site or album passwords.
Next, instead of login details for each photo set you’ll need to authenticate JBS with SmugMug once and then be able to choose from your photos or any other user’s public photos and albums.
Just open a SmugMug set or click the the ‘Authorise’ on the settings dialog, then SmugMug to continue.
Bug Fixes:
- Divide by zero error when using a large collage size
FIXED: Corrected a photo collage “divide by zero” error when using large collage sizes on a small screen.
- The folder switcher applies orientation checking to all photos (so montage pictures) which it shouldn’t do
FIXED: If you chose local pictures, a montage mode like postcard pile and opted to only show landscape pictures for full screen photos JBS would filter portraits out of the montage.
This was not the intended behaviour was at odds with other sources.
Now it behaves like the rest to be consistent!
- Pixabay URLs return a 404 page
FIXED: When you went to view a Pixabay photo you’d get a 404 error page.
Now you’ll go to the actual photo page.
- Attempting to send a picture via email results in an error
FIXED: This problem has now been fixed. Email away!
