Download JAlbum 7.2

Not so long ago, version 7.2 of JAlbum was released. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional-looking photo albums for use on the Internet. 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 uploaded to 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. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

Changes:

• Added option to delete/clean files from previous album builds on “make all” operation. This is now the default behavior. Deselect this option (preferences window) if you prefer the classic behavior of not deleting any generated files at all.
• Images and folders can now be ordered irrespectively of each other on a per-folder basis
• JAlbum now remembers the last used ordering and sticks to it when new files are added (instead of adding new files last)
• Images and folders can now be shuffled (ordered randomly)
• When deleting files from the JAlbum thumbnail window they are now moved to the recycle bin instead of permanently deleted (currently only for Windows version)
• Added support for arranging and playing mp3 music files within the client user interface
• Added option to automatically close progress dialog when done making an album
• Added option to set the location of the “My Albums” folder
• Publish window now allows folders residing on a remote server to be moved around with drag and drop
• Publish window now senses folders containing albums and represents those with an album icon
• Publish window now has a button that puts the address for the currently selected album on the clipboard
• Removed “Share” button from main panel (seldomly used, use menu equivalent if needed)
• Removed obsolete “Web host signup wizard” from publish window.
• Added new account activation function to publish window for our myjalbum.net hosting
• Added used and free disk space reporting to publish window (myjalbum.net hosting only)
• Various enhancements to publish window
• General JAlbum support files are now placed in a directory called “system”. A central cameras.properties file (35mm equivalents database) is maintained within it
• URL encoded links now also have the quote character (‘) encoded (compatibility with Google images)
• Several languages ​​updated. Thank you all translators!
• Better disposal of used memory during album build
• Mac: window minimization handling
• Mac: menubar icon instead of trayicon
• Bundled skin Chameleon updated to v4.11
• Bundled skin BananAlbum updated to v5.1.3
• Bundled skin Exhibit Plus updated. Also removed ExhibitPlus specific handling from code. Note: From now on, JAlbum won’t run properly on older versions of ExhibitPlus and current and future versions of ExhibitPlus require at least this version
• Windows version now compiled with the updated version 5 of the Excelsior JET compiler
• Installer for Java versions updated. Should be more Vista compatible now

Bug fixes:

• JAlbum didn’t properly wait until “delete directory” operations on a remote server were done
• Publish progress indicator didn’t show number of transferred bytes when in secure mode
• Publish window didn’t sense changes to projects (actually output directory) while being open
• Various fixes to publish window
• Publishing in command line mode was broken since v7.0
• JAlbum sharing sometimes reported errors even if things worked fine (with older routers)
• If excluding a linked image that was set to be used as folder icon, the folder icon setting was ignored
• Folders that didn’t need processing at all could cause problems
• Developers: BeanBinder class didn’t pass floats or doubles to setter methods
