Download Jalbum 8.1

Today a new version of Jalbum has been released with version number 8.1. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional looking HTML photo albums. In a well-arranged user interface, photos can be easily adjusted, the order can be changed, the appearance of the web page can be determined and the result can be placed on a homepage via the built-in ftp client. The software is developed in Java and is therefore available for a wide variety of operating systems.

New in this release is the addition of widgets, which make it possible to leave comments on photos and count visitors, among other things. Furthermore, it is now possible to log in at startup, making it easier to perform certain tasks, such as uploading albums. Below is the full changelog for this release:

News and updates

• Widget support! Add new functionality to your albums like visitor comments, view counters, face recognition and more to come. Widgets work no matter where the album is hosted.
• Jalbum is now smart enough to figure out whether to make all or just make changes. You simply press the “Make album” button
• New quick publish button. Publish and update your albums in one button click!
• Jalbum now allows you to sign in on startup. This simplifies several other usages
• On successful sign in, a jalbum.net hosting account is automatically set up (unless you have other accounts already set up)
• On successful publishing, Jalbum guides you how to do more with your published albums (share with friends, add widgets, manage on-line etc)
• The comment box in edit mode can now be expanded vertically
• Album uploads now show progress in MB instead of files. The progress indication is also more accurate now.
• Updated “focal length 35mm eqvivalent” table to support more cameras. Thanks Armond!
• Jalbum now executes script if found in system/onstart.bsh on every startup
• Jalbum album RSS feed now includes camera information
• User variables can now be set per folder and image too. See edit mode
• User variables now ordered alphabetically
• User variables can now be deleted easily
• Accidental leading and trailing spaces in folder names are now trimmed
• Advanced: Added system property “subsampling” to override the calculated subsampling. Using subsampling higher than 1 speeds up image loading and scaling and requires less RAM, but can cause scaling side effects with images containing regular patterns in high frequencies.
• Developers: Jalbum’s layout manager “RiverLayout” now properly handles invisible components
• Updated translations to over 10 languages. Thank you translators!
• Added a little “Easter egg”. See if you can find it 🙂

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug causing void variables near every 1000 images if rows was set to 0
• yes:fileiterator in combination with dirs and nodirs didn’t work right when using relative references
• Bug causing null pointer exception when repairing broken links fixed
• Widget powered albums causing trouble with certain skins+browser combinations fixed
