Download JAlbum 6.3

Anyone who has ever tried to make a collection of digital photos available via HTML knows that maintaining and displaying this collection in an orderly manner can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Fortunately, several tools exist and one of them is JAlbum. This free program written in Java makes it easy to generate professional looking photo albums on the Internet. Some of the many possibilities of this program are the simplicity in use, the ability to fully customize the appearance and the built-in ftp client for uploading the result to a homepage. Version 6.3 of JAlbum has just been released and the changelog of this version looks like this:

changes:

• Files on Edit tab can now be ordered by reverse name too
• Added option to, by default, exclude images recently added to the image directory
• To speed up the Edit tab when working with other image types than JPEG, GIF and PNG (TIFF for instance), JAlbum now tries to read thumbnails from other image types too
• New tint filter added. Color your images according to your taste
• The “XP” skin updated to v2.1, now with folder tree view and plugin support
• The “Slide show” skin can now play mp3 music in the background. Thank you Dhina and Johan
• Croatian translation updated. Thank you Roni.

bug fixes:

• The date and camera date ordering feature on the Edit tab didn’t always get the ordering right
• The web host signup wizard sometimes failed with an ElementException. This was caused by the IO.readTextUrl method sometimes not reading the full contents of a URL
• The “Simple” skin didn’t respect excluded directories
• The PhotoBox printing service didn’t handle image file names containing spaces
• The element would trash global variables after its use (since v6.1)
• Danish translation improved. Thank you Carsten
• The JColorSelector component didn’t respect the disabled mode
• The Experience, PBase and Family skins didn’t properly specify the text encoding used
