What’s new in this version:
- Skins may now have style specific hints too. By putting style hints files in the styles folder of a skin, these hints are applied when loading a skin or picking a style. A style specific hint has the format .jap, for example Black.jap. The format for style specific hints is the same as for skin hints
- You can now apply the ordering of the current folder to all subfolders in one go. (See Tools->External tools)
- The image tools (a k a image filters) have now been translated to Dutch, Finnish, German, Korean, Portugues, Slovak and Swedish. Thank you dear skin translators!
- Thumbnails can now have a higher JPEG compression quality than slides. Good for thumbnails with embedded frames that might need that extra quality to avoid visible JPEG artifacts.
- When saving album projects. Jalbum can now make backups of the previous album project
- Bundled skin “Galleria” updated to make use of new skin developer features (style specific hints and StateMonitor class)
- On Mac: Deleted files now moved to the recycle bin if you’re running on the latest Java update (Perform a check for updates under the Apple menu)
- On Mac: When performing “Show in file system” and when packing skins, the target object is selected in Finder. This requires you to run the latest Java update (Perform a check for updates under the Apple menu)
- When updating skins, skin installer now moves the previous skin version to the recycle bin. (On Mac, this requires an updated Java)
- Skins may now omit the “slide.htt” file. This disables the “Make slides” checkbox. No need to create dummy slide.htt files or add slides=false hints anymore
- Installer for Windows (AdvancedInstaller) updated from v7.3.1 to v7.5
- Skin loading rewritten. These weird race conditions and scripting errors when loading skins repeatedly should now be gone
- Fix for spinning spinners in Jalbum’s info window if user hasn’t added any accounts
- Jalbum would fail on startup if it didn’t find the last used Look and Feel
- Calling ui2Engine from a skin would clear the username for temporarily signed in users
- Jalbum would fail connecting to accounts lacking a password. Connecting without a stored password triggers an interactive password dialog, but the entered password was ignored
