In JetPhoto Studio version 4.8, you should find a new button 
added in the map view. The new tool allows users to zoom the map by dragging the mouse, and also can select photos in a given rectangle area on the map.
[step 1] Click the button, then you can drag on the map to draw a rectangle with red lines to mark the area where you would like to zoom.
[step 2] JetPhoto Studio will zoom the map as long as released the mouse button after dragging.
[step 3] At the same time, the photos in the selected rectangle will be highlighted. Then you can select “Thumbnail” view in the album window, where JetPhoto Studio has highlighted the matched photo thumbnails.
In this way, JetPhoto Studio provides a new efficient way to quickly pick photos that were geotagged in a given location on the map.
If you use the combination of a JetPhoto Studio on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and a JetPhoto Server Pro 2.x, it’s possible to catch an error while using WebSync to upload your albums to the web server. The error message says:
An error occurred while calling put_album_datalist on JetPhoto Server.
Error Code: 50
On Snow Leopard, the program isn’t able to ignore the null characters in your photo keywords and other metadata fields, this is the reason caused the error. Now you could download a update to fix the bug, please get a JetPhoto Studio v4.8.2 here .

Two convenient tools are added in version 4.7.2:
1) Copy filenames to the photo notes
Without JetPhoto Studio, the photo files are usually named as the photo titles. If you imported your titled files into JetPhoto albums, you may need a convenient way to transfer the photo titles from the file names to the photo notes shortly. Now you can just do that with an easy click, please choose menu item “Edit”->”Copy Filenames to Photo Notes…”
The file name is ‘Birthday Cake.JPG’.
After copying, now the photo note become ‘Birthday Cake’.
2) Rename files in batches with multiple modes
Choose menu item “Edit”->”Batch Rename Files…”, you can use the tool to change filenames in batches for the selected photos. The tool enables flexible renaming photo files as a series of uniform names with a same prefix (or/and a same suffix), and add an index number or a time string into each filename automatically. The program can also read the EXIF photo capture time tags and write them into the filenames. In this way, you can always easily sort your photo files by events or categories in any environment even without JetPhoto Studio.
rename files by appending index numbers
rename files by appending photo capture time
rename files with a prefix-time-suffix combination, example, you can name photo files as Event + Time + Location
