Microsoft Expression Media 2 Service Pack 1 was released in October 2008, and now, just under four months later, SP2 is out via Microsoft Update and the Mac AutoUpdate. You can also download SP2 via the Microsoft Download Center: Windows (3.4 MB) and Mac (62.5 MB). For Windows, the service pack is available in German, French, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, while on Mac it is available for Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish. Expression Media 2 SP1 must be installed before installing Expression Media 2 SP2.

According to KB Article 962902, the service pack fixes the following issues:

  • Windows and Mac
    • It takes a long time to import many large images.
    • The XML export and import operations may scramble custom fields.
    • Catalogs that are saved from a Macintosh lose their paths to the original media. This issue occurs if the catalogs are opened from a server on a Windows-based computer.
    • Original file paths are used instead of new file paths when you are copying items to a new catalog.
    • Silverlight 2.0 is not detected correctly by Mozilla Firefox browsers when you are viewing Silverlight HTML galleries.
    • Thumbnails cannot honor a file's embedded color profile. Note: Thumbnails should be rebuilt after you install this service pack.
  • Windows
    • User preference for rendering engine is not used.
    • When you right-click to open a file in the default application, the wrong file opens after you sort the files in list view.
    • When you move hierarchical keywords, flat keywords may be applied incorrectly to images.
    • Scripting annotations garble text that has Unicode characters.
    • File paths are broken if the imported folder contains more than 1,024 subfolders.
    • When you set a path to the root of a drive, you cannot reset paths.
    • Expression Media 2 crashes when you import a file from a folder that was removed from the Organize panel.
    • Expression Media 2 crashes when an import is canceled and then files are imported from the root of a drive.
    • You cannot rename a folder on a network share. Additionally, the folder disappears from the Organize panel.
    • Files whose names have more than 64 characters are always imported again when you update folders in the organize panel.
    • Additional folders are not added in the organize panel for saved catalogs when the disk volume name is the system default. Typically, the system default is 'Local Disk.'
    • The file size of TIFF RAW files from Phase One Digital Backs seems to be large in a catalog.
    • Random numbers may be displayed on catalog folders if the disk does not have a volume name.
    • HTML gallery links show question marks when the gallery is viewed in Mozilla Firefox browsers.
  • Mac
    • You cannot import PPT and XLS files.
    • 'Contact sheet out of range' errors are improved, and the experience for making contact sheets is improved.
    • The Batch Rename feature changes Cyrillic characters into question mark characters when you are using the 'Strip Diacriticals' function.
    • When you use the 'Update Folders Now' function, duplicate folders may be shown, and file links may be broken.

Microsoft Expression is Microsoft's product line for web design and web development. It first started as part of Office 2007, and was later distributed as a separate product line. Expression Studio 4 is the latest and final release. The installation files were available from Digital River, however, the downloads have been removed by now.

In May 2008, Microsoft released Microsoft Expression Studio 2, a set of five professional design tools and technologies aimed specifically at Web and multimedia developers and designers. Expression Media is a robust digital asset management solution for photographers and other creative professionals. We'll keep you posted about updates to the other four applications that are part of the suite.

Update

Microsoft has pulled the Macintosh Dutch and French versions of the service pack temporarily while it fixes a bug in Rendering Preferences. The updated versions should be up soon.
