This release focuses on major reliability improvements for event management, smoother touch-screen experiences across the booth, and a polished sign-in and account flow — along with important fixes for photographers migrating from dslrBooth v7.

Event Management

• Resolved a significant slowdown when opening the Event Management screen on accounts with many cloud events — the event list now populates quickly and opening events is much faster
• Fixed an issue where events created during a session did not appear in the event list until the app was restarted
• Fixed an issue where cloud-only events (not yet downloaded to the current machine) could not be deleted from the Event Management screen
• Fixed an issue where, on a fresh install with an existing account, the Event Management screen only showed newly created events instead of the full event history
• All template thumbnails in Event Management are now displayed together in a grid, eliminating the need to scroll horizontally to see them

v7 Migration

• Fixed an issue where photo layouts and welcome screen images were lost when importing events from dslrBooth v7
• Welcome screen images and images attached to capture buttons are now correctly uploaded to the cloud when migrating events from v7
• Fixed a migration issue where background layers could be assigned an incorrect file path (pointing to a zip archive instead of an image)

Touch Screen

• Improved touch scrolling throughout the app, which had stopped working after the .NET 9 upgrade — dragging to scroll now works reliably on all touch-screen setups
• All guest-facing selection screens (photo templates, effects, backgrounds, digital props, and post-capture effects) now support touch panning, consistent page indicator dots, and smooth prev/next navigation

AI Portraits

• Updated the AI portrait selection and generation screens to use a dark background, providing better contrast for mirror booth setups
• Fixed an issue where the AI portrait style thumbnails were cut off or partially hidden
• Added the ability to deselect an AI style so photos can be captured without AI processing applied

Settings & Navigation

• Fixed an issue where maximizing the settings window hid the back arrow and "Launch Event" button, leaving touch-screen users with no way to return to their event
• Removed the unintended text shadow from the Print Setup settings panel that made text difficult to read
• Fixed a 1-pixel gap between the title bar and the top menu

Sharing & Account

• The Subscribe and Upgrade buttons now automatically sign you in to the website, so you no longer need to log in again in the browser
• The share status page now opens in the LumaBooth dashboard instead of the legacy fotoshare.co site
• Fixed the sign-in window so that password characters are visible, pressing Enter submits the form, and focus moves correctly between fields
• Fixed an issue where long event names in the navbar dropdown overlapped the download icon

Stability & Connectivity

• Fixed an issue where the app failed to sync cloud events when launched without an internet connection and then reconnected — events now load correctly once connectivity is restored
• Fixed an NTP time sync failure that occurred on machines where the network resolves time server addresses using IPv6, which could prevent events from syncing correctly
• Fixed start screen videos stopping playback after a cloud sync completes
