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:

Changes

Files and folders on your desktop can now be dragged and dropped onto the folder tree of the Publish window for publishing. This makes the Publish feature of JAlbum more general so it can be used to maintain not only albums, but your web site too.
In line with the above, the Publish window can now be set to "advanced mode" where not just folders and albums, but also files can be managed. This mode also allows files to be uploaded to the root of MyAlbum accounts, enabling users to customize their welcome pages.
The Publish window now orders files and folders alphabetically, folders first.
The Publish window now shows the size of albums as they are about to be uploaded.
For JAlbum hosting (MyJAlbum) accounts, the Publish window also shows the account size and space left as albums are about to be uploaded
More forgiving: Renaming or moving an image directory used by JAlbum outside of JAlbum would often cause broken JAlbum projects (images appearing to be gone as the image directory setting pointed to the old location). JAlbum now repairs a broken image directory reference if found while loading a project. (JAlbum does this by setting the image directory to the same directory as the new project file location)
Added assistive icons to the JAlbum user interface to make certain JAlbum settings easier to understand
17 translations updated. Thank you dear translators!
Bundled skin XP updated

Bug fixes

The "Include photographic data in generated images" setting (previously called "Keep photographic data") could cause color distortions with some images. Images also grew more in size than neccesary with this setting
JAlbum wouldn't show an error if one tried to open a project that couldn't be found
Renaming a whole album by renaming the root folder (top left of JAlbum window) would cause all kinds of trouble (images and project not being found). JAlbum now takes care of updating references to a renamed album.

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.
