Lightroom 1.2 includes corrections for the following issues:
? Lightroom 1.1 catalogs with user-specified sort order could not be imported into another catalog
? Lightroom 1.1 for Windows could at times display gray boxes instead of image thumbnails
? The preference to write XMP metadata automatically in Lightroom 1.1 could attempt to write metadata indefinitely for
offline images causing significant performance problems
? Images could be dropped from the Quick Collection upon reordering of the source folder
? Catalogs could not be exported to drives smaller than 250MB
? The Web Module was not accessible in Lightroom 1.1 on the Macintosh platform when Lightroom was installed on
case-sensitive volumes such as the Case Sensitive HFS+ (Journaled) volume
? Errors occurred exporting to a Linux SMB network volume
? Scroll position in the grid view was not maintained when changing the view option using the J shortcut key
? The tokens for image number and image count were not displaying properly in the Slideshow module
? The metadata panel could display incorrectly on Windows
? Slideshows on the Macintosh platform did not display properly when a 256MB ATI graphics card was connected to 30
" LCD
? The Lightroom 1.1 Web module export did not position the copyright tag in the same location displayed in the preview
? The auto-eject functionality on Windows ejected the card reader device in addition to the card
? Noise reduction adjustment for all cameras with Bayer Pattern sensor: The base point noise reduction applied at the
demosaic stage of raw processing has been reduced. The resulting effect is that images with zero luminance noise
reduction applied in Lightroom 1.2 will contain more noise than the identical settings in Lightroom 1.1 but less noise
than identical settings in Lightroom 1.0.
? 1:1 previews were not discarded according to the timing set in the Lightroom preferences
? 1:1 previews are not built for an entire set of images when requested after import

I'm officially updated...thanks for the alert.

Thanks for the heads up, I am off to adobe's website.

David thanks for the heads up!!! We have been waiting for an update. Never downloaded 1.1 (for windows) because of all the problems. Waiting for a report that says how stable this one is. Matt Antonino, give us an update - you were instrumental in the 1.1 evaluation!

Wahoo!

So, ok, little question - is there any way to do the following:

Select All Photos
Apply a Preset
Hit some button to make the preset apply to all images NOW rather than when I select it / scroll down to it in the library screen. I want a bar showing me that it is applying the new preset to all photos. I may just be missing the command or something.

At any rate, wahoo 1.2!!! Yay for those that have the 40D! Yay for fixes!!

It also fixes the Sandisk TransferMate problem.

So is it stable this time???

So far in the MAC it has been stable. I don't know if it is me but the data base performance improved too.

I'll be checking it out later tonight on my laptop PC.

I'm a beta tester now - so if it wasn't stable, I'd have already yelled at them about it. As far as I know, 1.2 is working. I will check around and see what I hear but so far so good on my machine - it fixes the problems I was having as well as a host of other problems.

Is it just me, or does 1.2 seem to be slightly quicker on a PC?

I'm running LR on a laptop with 2GB RAM and a 100GB drive (about half full) running XP, and so far so good. I've been running LR since Beta 3 (I think) and this version seems more snappy than the others.

I felt the same on a MAC, specially when it starts up.

I'm a beta tester too....could have sworn it was supposed to be a secret Matt! lol....

@John...yes....it is completely faster! One thing I miss in the first release of 1.2 was the ability to scroll presets super fast! Its a shame they took that out in the final release of 1.2!

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!! We will download as soon as we get a chance then!!!
