JAlbum

This software makes web albums of your digital images.
JAlbum aims to be the easiest to use and most powerful
tool in this category - and free! (Java based)


Release history

2004-04-03 4.4

Changes:
-JAlbum may now be run from other directories than its
installation directory. This simplifies embedding JAlbum
in other applications.
-New command line switch -programDirectory that specifies
where to look for JAlbum support directories (if not found
in either the current directory or relative to the JAlbum.jar file).
-New command line switch -skinsDirectory that specifies where
to look for JAlbum skins.
-Skin user interfaces may now register to listen for
"JAlbumEvents" to simplify synchronisation and life cycle
management (see API docs for se.datadosen.jalbum.event and
the top of the onload.bsh file for the "XP" skin)
-Interactive console window added to simplify debugging skins.
The console window captures anything written to System.out
and also allows the developer to evaluate BeanShell expressions
interactively.
-Results from ftp connection test will appear in a pop up dialogue.
-If a remote directory is missing when pressing "Upload all" or
"Smart upload", JAlbum will ask if the directory is to be created.
Previously this check was only done when pressing "Test connection"
-"XP" skin updated to better handle browsing on Safari (Mac)



2004-03-26 4.3

Changes:
-Startup time reduced. JAlbum now loads about twice as fast on
fast computers.
-Skin styles may now have their own resources directory and
preview image. I have modified the bundled "XP" skin to make
use of these features. I encourage skin developers to follow
this example.
-Maps common IPTC metadata tags (as set by Adobe Photoshop
for example) to variables (author, keywords, comment etc).
-Thai language added. Thank you Weerasak Witthawaskul.
-Estonian language added. Thank you Kristian Sägi.
-New skin "Minimal" added. Use this one as template when
creating your own skins!
-Bundled skin "BluPlusPlus" updated to v2.3
-Watermarking in "BluPlusPlus" removed as it caused annoyance.
-Bundled skin "XP" updated to v1.14
-Bundled skin "PBase" updated to v2.0
-Stips leading and trailing spaces from ftp publish properties
in order to minimise user errors.
-Ignores files starting with _ or . when uploading.
(Some ftp servers cannot handle files beginning with a dot.)
-New simpler URL to JAlbum - jalbum.net and a new variable
($generatorUrl) that points to it for skin developers to use.

Bug fixes:
-Uploading files to some ftp servers resulted in a "OPTS UTF-8
not understood" error.
-"XP" skin didn't work with Java 1.3
-Opening web pages from within JAlbum didn't work on some machines.
-Skins missing a texts.properties file would generate a stack
trace printout.
