The cache folder is used to speed up previewing of thumbnails, its contents are generated as needed. info files contain the data entered in the template’s fields), res.info and an audioClips folder. There are hidden folders at the each level (folders within, of the project) called '.jalbum' and contains a cache folder, which may have thumbnail images, jAlbum control & Information files such as albumfiles.txt, comments.properties, meta.properties and XML. We will use that project to look at how jAlbum does its magic.
The 'Sample Portfolio' project, copied to your’My Albums’ folder, supplied with jAlbum (Menu/Tools/Open directories/Program to open jAlbum's installation directory and then navigate to samples/Sample Portfolio) is a typical project. The same restriction applies to having multiple settings files applied to a single set of files.Įach jAlbum project is made up of files and folders that you add and also those that jAlbum creates. If you want to use images in more than one project use the link>mirror method, so your are isolated from the files being used. The files in a project cannot be directly shared with another project without changes affecting both projects, for this reason projects should be considered as unique entities. There is a preference setting jAlbum>Preferences>Projects>Project directory that allows you to change the output location for all new projects. You can change this location for each album or for all future albums by selecting a new output folder in Settings/General and then using Menu/File/Save as default. When you create a new project the default location for the output album is a subfolder of the project folder, called 'album'. Each of your project folders will be named the same as the project's name. If you want to backup all of your projects or copy/migrate them to a new computer then this is the folder to go to. Each of your projects will, unless you change it, under Settings/General, be contained within subfolders of that folder. Look for the 'My albums' location, the path to the folder is displayed and can be changed by clicking on the small folder icon to the right of the path. This location can be checked, or changed, by going to Menu>jAlbum>Preferences>Projects>Projects directory (for other operating systems it is Menu/Tools/Preferences). JAlbum's default location for your projects is a folder called 'My Albums' within your 'home' folder. See Moving jAlbum to a new computer My albums If installing on a new computer get jAlbum application from here Moving jAlbum to a new computer If you want to backup or migrate your jAlbum files you need to copy those two directories to your backup/new computer, and if the project uses links the original files.
There are, if you use jAlbum's defaults, in two directories that contain user files, they are My albums (your projects) and the Configuration (skins, external tools, plugins and default settings). This page shows you the folders and files jAlbum uses both for your projects and for any skins or add-ons you install.
