Iedereen die wel eens heeft geprobeerd om een verzameling afbeeldingen en foto's beschikbaar te stellen via HTML weet dat het bijhouden en ordelijk tonen van deze verzameling een lastig en tijdrovend karwei is. Er zijn programma's beschikbaar die deze klus van je overnemen en JAlbum is er daar één van. Het grote voordeel van dit programma is dat je kan werken met je eigen templates, HTML- en CSS-bestanden, zodat je het geheel op een makkelijke manier een eigen uiterlijk kan geven. Sinds kort staat versie 6.2 te pronken op de website met het volgende changelog:
Version 6.2:Changes:
Version 6.1.6:Bug fixes:
- You can now order prints straight from JAlbum albums using UK's best rated printing service, PhotoBox. They deliver within a couple of days over Europe
- New "Server mode" Tool added that enables JAlbum to automtically make albums as soon as a change to the file system is detected. This allows JAlbum to run as a server and update albums as soon as new images are uploaded under the image directory.
- JAlbum now warns if unsaved changes has been made when quitting, loading projects or requesting new projects
- The JAlbum title bar now also tells the name of the current project
- Simplified use of the publish section by making JAlbum filter out leading and trailing spaces in connection properties and filter out "ftp://" from the server name field
