I have been using Photosite Timesaviour for years and while it is still a great app, it is getting a little long in the tooth. JAlbum is a welcome alternative. I especially like how it creates links to the next/previous slides and index on the picture itself. The keyboard shortcuts are also cool.
Only a couple things I'd like to see:
One handy thing PSTS does that JAlbum doesn't yet is creates a thumbnail from Quicktime movies. Also, when using a picture as part of a folder icon, the picture is quite small, and only that part of the icon is clickable.
When arranging the pictures, which PSTS doesn't let you do, BTW, JAlbum seems to put any QT movie at the end, no matter where you put it in the layout.
When you are at the top level index, the "Up" button takes you too far up past the top index.
Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with this program. It really lets a person ignorant of HTML create a slick-looking thumbnail site. The price is right, too!
