Product Description:

Free advanced web photo album generator with index pages and slideshows. Now with JSP/ASP-like scripting, integrated smart FTP client, improved EXIF handling and more. Drop folders containing image and movie files onto JAlbum. JAlbum will create thumbnails of your images and display them in index pages in HTML. You can also have JAlbum produce slide shows of your images for easy navigation. The apperance of the generated albums can be fully configured through the use of skins.

What's new in this version:

User interface now completely supports drag and drop. Arrange files and folders between folders too
New image editor with pluggable image filters: crop, red eye, color adjustment (brightness, contrast, saturation), gamma correction, rotate/straighten, grayscale, sepia, sharpen, blur, flip, invert and pixelate. The editor never touches your original images!
Images having filters applied to them can be saved separately
Faster and more memory conservative image scaling, especially for very large JPEG images
Originals can now be included for selected images
File picker now displays thumbnails
Faster loading of images lacking embedded thumbnails
Control-drag folders to have copies generated inside Jalbum containing links to the files in the dragged folder
Improved image property editor with rating, titles (for images too), file date and comments
Images can now be rotated and included/excluded in detail view mode
Filters applied to images can be copied and pasted onto masses of images in a quick way
Easy access file system from objects inside Jalbum
Full cacheing of thumbnails for images laching an embedded thumbnail
Synchronization between generated files and input files meaning that renames, moves and deletions to images in the input structure are reflected among the album files. No more dead files lurking around (A user preference)
Old problematic "clean files" function now restricted to the "res" and "gifs" folders
More powerful ja:fileiterator tag. Should minimize need for scripting for skin developers
New finally.bsh file for skin clean-up tasks
Media RSS support
Widget support
Preference to control if uploaded images open in browser or now
Reporting on number of objects, vs selected and excluded objects in Jalbum Explorer status bar
Modularized architecture (see new "lib" and "ext" folders for future plugins)

Broken links are now displayed properly in UI

Works just fine... - Version: 7.3.1, 11/18/2007 03:26AM PST

... for me with Leopard. The pb is that each time there is an update I have to reconfigure the settings of the skin I use...
I'd say the results are great, but the soft is not really easy to use

Doesn't work with Leopard - Version: 7.3.1, 11/11/2007 06:07PM PST

I can't seem to get this to work with Leopard. Depending on the method I use, either JAlbum will crash while creating the webpage, or it will fail with a NullPointerException. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with JAlbum or with Leopard's Java, but I hope it gets fixed soon. Luckily, I still have a Tiger disk I can boot into to run JAlbum.

THe new features sound great - a wonderful enhancement of a piece of software that I really woulnd't want to miss. When trying to download version 7.3. however, I got unpacked a dmg with version 7.2.1, which is already on my disk ...
