This update fixes some errant bugs when used with iPhoto that could result in an error after launch, handling of .wb1 files, plus some other minor issues. It updates the logo and icon to match Webshots' new branding. [Details and Download]

As an addendum, Webshots have now realised that WBZ Helper bypasses the encryption on their Pro shots (that are licenced from suppliers who require that they be protected in this manner) in order to allow them to be used by Mac OS X's default screen saver and desktop background. At best this means that WBZ Helper will no longer be promoted directly by them, at worst it may mean WBZ Helper may have the ability to process Pro shots removed.

As WBZ Helper is currently the only solution for Mac users to use Webshots' Pro shots as their screen saver or desktop, I hope that the latter does not happen, but a dedicated screensaver module for Pro shots could be created by them within the licencing restrictions, as is done on Windows, and some other compromise may be reached to protect the interests of the photographers and agencies whose work is used by them, and enjoyed by you as a result.

For now, this update will let you continue enjoying your downloads from Webshots on your Mac.

[UPDATE 13th Dec.] Webshots are now actively looking at developing a new Mac client!
