Topic: I just bought Pro. What do I do now?

Hello
I've been creating web galleries using picasa & simpleviewer. I've just bought the pro version and downloaded the zipped file. It contains 3 directories (examples, source and web) and a readme.

However, the documentation doesn't appear to instruct me on what to do now. How do I upgrade my current Picasa installation so that it uses the new pro version?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
Regards,
Mark

Hi,

to upgrade your Picasa installation to Pro, copy viewer.swf from the web folder in your downloaded files to the simpleviewer_picasa_template folder on your computer (usually C:Program FilesPicasa2webtemplatessimpleviewer_picasa_template )

Thanks for that. I'll do that now.
Maybe this should be in the documentation? I was completely stuck at the first hurdle

thanks for your efforts in providing support and for creating a great gallery solution

Re: I just bought Pro. What do I do now?

Well I haven't been able to fix the problem where all my photos become white crosses. So instead I took the pro version that I just bought and copied the new viewer.swf file into the web > picases_template directory on a different computer of mine.

I was then able to create a gallery which worked properly (no white crosses) BUT there is still the simpleviewer/download link in the bottom corner which shouldn't be there. I tried restarting picasa (and my pc) but this didn't work either.

Here is the gallery using the pro viewer.swf file and picasa template
http://www.markgoodwinpianos.co.uk/img/ … u3-photos/

Please can someone help me set this up?
How do I install pro? There must be some standard instructions for upgrading from standard to pro whilst using picasa.

Please help. I'm getting depressed and stressed :)
Thanks in advance

Any tips on upgrading?
I copied the pro version viewer.swf into the web/templates/picasa folder but they still come out with the download link etc.

Hi,

my mistake. The Pro swf should be copied to C:Program FilesPicasa2webtemplatessimpleviewer_picasa_templateassets

Then restart Picasa and you will be all set.
