Download jAlbum 9.0

The jAlbum program has been updated to version 9.0. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional looking HTML photo albums. In a well-arranged interface, photos can be 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 following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

News and Updates

• Defaults to copying added files instead of linking. You can now move or delete your original images without breaking the ability to update existing album projects.
• New “hi-res” (2048×2048) image linking option. This enables your visitors to easily download printable versions of your images. (Skin developer can use the new variables “hiResPath”, “hiResWidth” and “hiResHeight” that exists only if hi-res images are present)
• Faster startup for users having many recent album projects listed
• More robust startup
• Writes a “lifeboat.zip” to published albums containing all project settings (including captions), thereby simplifying recovery of lost album projects
• More robust publishing (failing to delete old remote files won’t halt the upload process)
• Generates better looking code (extraneous empty lines removed)
• Doesn’t display sign in window when starting for first time users. The sign in window is only displayed when the user opts to use any of Jalbum’s services
• Local sharing of albums to root of web site using jAlbum’s embedded web server allowed
• Scrolling the album project list using the mouse now steps in more natural increments
• Displays a donation reminder dialog when quitting (can be dismissed for the current version)
• Better drag and drop support with digiKam for Linux
• Better validation of entered image- and thumbnail bounds
• Updated bundled Turtle and Galleria skins
• Updated translations. Thank you dear translators!
• Various minor code improvements

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug making Jalbum ask for quota changes during long network operations
• Fixed drag and drop bug (selected wrong object after drop)
• Fixed bug where one was unable to drop onto a selected folder
• Renaming a project that outputs the album to the image directory didn’t also adjust the output directory
