Download jAlbum 10.8.1

An update for version 10.8 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. The Windows version has issues with some versions of Java and is therefore bundled with Java, resulting in a larger download.

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 ability to integrate created albums into websites, and the ability to exchange images and even entire folders between different projects. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

News and Updates

• No longer saving passwords for account profiles as plain text (applies to new account profiles)
• Added directory chooser button for “My Albums” location to jAlbum’s preferences dialog
• Updated bundled skins Turtle, Base and Galleria

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug causing mixup of some camera metadata when using multiple threads with some skins (really old bug)
• The user interface was hanging if making albums after modifying a skin (installing an update or editing the currently used skin)
• jAlbum didn’t start on Java 1.5. This mainly affected those running jAlbum on Mac OS X 10.4
• Fixed bug where jAlbum would choke on some unusually formatted xmp metadata in images
• Reloading a skin now keeps the current skin and style settings
• Filters out jAlbum specific files from the “res” folder of album projects when copying files
• The “My Albums” location couldn’t be set to the root of a file system (for instance C:\)
• jAlbum would accidentally create a .jalbum folder inside the installation folder on startup (since 10.8)
