LumaBooth for Windows (dslrBooth) v5.23.0502

This release brings improvements to GIF and video sharing, a smoother survey experience, better start-screen reliability, and several fixes for sharing and uploading content across social platforms and email.

Sharing & Social Media

• Improved video sharing to Twitter — videos now upload as MP4 files instead of GIFs, and the UI remains responsive during the upload
• Fixed an issue where videos uploaded to YouTube would be uploaded a second time when reopened from the browse screen, resulting in broken email links
• Resolved an issue where GIF and Boomerang files failed to send via email
• Fixed a crash that could occur when sharing to Twitter after a Boomerang session
• Sharing confirmation messages now correctly identify whether a photo, animation, or video was shared

Performance & Speed

• Significantly improved live view performance on the capture screen by optimizing how the image is cropped to match the photo placeholder
• Live view now displays immediately on the capture screen without waiting for the full crop calculation

Survey

• Fixed an issue where the virtual keyboard would disappear or lose focus on survey questions 2 through 5
• Surveys now work correctly in Boomerang mode
• Fixed an issue where using a survey with video sessions caused the browse button to disappear from the start screen

Start Screen

• Fixed an issue where the start screen background image would disappear when green screen was enabled and a background had been selected
• Resolved an issue where live view could appear on the start screen even when disabled in settings
• Fixed live view updating in the background while a start screen video was playing
• Resolved an issue where the start screen video would restart repeatedly while fotoShare was connected

Stats & Event Tracking

• The statistics "Today" column has been renamed to "Event" and now displays activity for the current event regardless of date

Camera Support

• Updated the Canon EDSDK to version 3.8 to add support for the EOS M50, EOS Rebel T7, EOS 2000D, EOS 4000D, and other newer Canon models

Templates & Layouts

• Fixed an issue where Mac-exported templates would import as blank white templates on Windows
• Templates in the "Choose a Template" screen are now centered rather than left-aligned
• Thumbnail images are now centered horizontally in the template selection layout

SMS & Messaging

• Updated the Twilio library to improve SMS deliverability and add MMS support
• When testing SMS settings, the app now validates the Twilio sender number and displays helpful guidance if it is incorrect

Cloud & Uploads

• Fixed an issue where uploads to Amazon S3 would fail when the album name contained non-Latin characters
• Emails are now routed through a sending domain with a valid reverse DNS record, resolving delivery failures to German providers such as gmx.de and web.de

GIF & Animation

• Fixed a GIF overlay rendering issue that caused the overlay to be cut off at the bottom under certain timing and reverse settings
• Removed automatic GIF file generation for animations and Boomerangs, improving session completion speed; MP4 and JPG are used instead

fotoShare

• The browse screen in fotoShare now shows a JPG thumbnail with a play button for animated content, replacing GIF thumbnails that caused performance issues on devices with many items
• Fixed an issue where the event name could display incorrectly in the fotoShare app's event pop-up

Printing

• The printing status message area now accommodates longer translated text, such as the Spanish "¡Imprimiendo!"
