Download jAlbum 10.3

Version 10.3 of jAlbum has been released. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional looking HTML photo albums. In a clean interface, photos can be easily edited, the order can be changed and the appearance of the web page can be determined. If everything is to your liking, the result can be placed on a web page via the built-in ftp client. Because the software is developed in Java, jAlbum is available for a wide range of operating systems.

Since version 10, the program is no longer free for commercial use. A license for version 10 and all 10-series updates costs 39 euros, removes all advertising and gives access to higher priority support. Also new are full support for xmp metadata, the possibility to integrate created albums into websites and the possibility to exchange images and even complete folders between different projects. In version 10.3, memory management has been improved and several issues have been fixed.

News and Updates

• More memory conservative so huge albums can be built without running out of memory. (Some older skins will need to run in “compatibility mode” to work with this release. See Preferences->Advanced)
• Supports reading JPEG images in the CMYK color space too. Thanks goes to Werner Randelshofer for making this possible.
• Sub-albums can now be selectively hidden (ie included in the album, but not linked to from index pages).
• Can generate search engine friendly file names. (See setting under Advanced settings->Naming)
• Guides users trying to upload to jAlbum’s storage without having storage activated
• Welcomes licensed users upon license activation. Excludes credit links by default for licensed users
• New file type: .patch.jaskin: Contains only new and updated skin files. Deletion of the old skin doesn’t happen. This simplifies distributing minor patches to skins.
• Translations updated. Thank you all translators!
