Handpicked Software

JAlbum helps you make website albums of your digital photographs. With JAlbum, no extra software is needed to view the albums, just your web browser. Unlike “server side” album scripts, JAlbum albums can be served from a plain web server without scripting support. You can also share your albums on CD-ROM. It is written after numerous disappointments with existing album software. With JAlbum you have full control of the look of the generated album, not just color theme and basic layout, still making an album is just a matter of drag and drop + a button click if you prefer to use one of the many existing looks. It will process your images, make index pages and slide show pages and even upload the final album to the Internet for your friends to see.

What’s New:
Version 7.3:

Changes

• Files and folders on your desktop can now be dragged and dropped onto the folder tree of the Publish window for publishing. This makes the Publish feature of JAlbum more general so it can be used to maintain not only albums, but your web site too.
• In line with the above, the Publish window can now be set to “advanced mode” where not just folders and albums, but also files can be managed. This mode also allows files to be uploaded to the root of MyAlbum accounts, enabling users to customize their welcome pages.
• The Publish window now orders files and folders alphabetically, folders first.
• The Publish window now shows the size of albums as they are about to be uploaded.
• For JAlbum hosting (MyJAlbum) accounts, the Publish window also shows the account size and space left as albums are about to be uploaded
• More forgiving: Renaming or moving an image directory used by JAlbum outside of JAlbum would often cause broken JAlbum projects (images appearing to be gone as the image directory setting pointed to the old location). JAlbum now repairs a broken image directory reference if found while loading a project. (JAlbum does this by setting the image directory to the same directory as the new project file location)
• Added assistive icons to the JAlbum user interface to make certain JAlbum settings easier to understand
• 17 translations updated. Thank you dear translators!
• Bundled skin XP updated

Bug fixes

• The “Include photographic data in generated images” setting (previously called “Keep photographic data”) could cause color distortions with some images. Images also grew more in size than neccesary with this setting
• JAlbum wouldn’t show an error if one tried to open a project that couldn’t be found
• Renaming a whole album by renaming the root folder (top left of JAlbum window) would cause all kinds of trouble (images and project not being found). JAlbum now takes care of updating references to a renamed album.
