History

Chameleon v3.32 - The NEW label now means the file is new at the time of viewing and not the time when the gallery was made. Now you can have your localized string instead of "NEW". (see text/text_??.properties) - Custom color scrollbars (Works only with IE for PC) - you can turn off in the Chameleon's general tab - Download icon varies in color with the different styles - Firefox bug when the infotable got too close to the header is fixed - Print ordering did not work from the index pages (since the beginning)- now this is fixed - digibug CompanyID can be specified through the user interface the similar way photoBox ID was - the Custom Links can be controlled separately whether to open in a new window or in the same
Chameleon v3.31 - There was no way to disable to show the ISO setting other than omitting the exif display at all. This is fixed. - Danish translation update by Jacob a.k.a craps
Chameleon v3.30 - Voice annotations can be attached to slide pages. Give the sound file the same name (with the original extension) and it will be played with the photo. Supported formats: MP3, WMV, WAV, MID, RM - if there is more than one found picks the first in the list. In the case of MP3, WMV and RM JAlbum will generate separate slide pages for the sounds too, unless you "exclude" them manually in the Edit panel. - ISO setting might gave back strange values ("Unknown: 16383") for Canon EOS machines. The bug is in the JAlbum EXIF extraction, but I have a workaround. - Album Total images and Last Updated field appears only on the root index page - it shows Folder image count in the subfolders and Slide pages. - Two Custom links can be added.
Chameleon v3.23 - Some bugs with tables are fixed - 3.22 had several, you better not use that version - An unnecessary linebreak is removed when there was no table at the top - No linklist nor thumblist is generated when only one page exists - The default row-count is set to 0, i.e. continuous view
Chameleon v3.22 - Text instead of "Help" icon - The Album info, JAlbum Copyright and Help grouped into one box to spare with vertical space. Album info thus placed always at the bottom.
Chameleon v3.21 - The Black style with grey background bug is fixed - New: player included for FLV (Flash Video files) thanks to Jeroen Wijering
Chameleon v3.20 - A lot better media-embedding on Macs. The generated page contains the code for both Windows Media Player and QuickTime, and picks the better for the visitor's platform. - New: Flash info - New: Album info (total images, last update). The custom link is moved into this box. - The JAlbum copyright info has now taken out of the infoboxes. - New: popup help can be attached to albums for the visitors (only english, french and hungarian version at the moment) - No slideshow icon on index pages when only one indexpage exists - The Mac files with no extension bug is fixed. This time really. :) - Comment for folders now has the same style as the comments on the slidepages - The Indexlinklist bug when unnecessary link to last picture ( > | » ) was displayed with a broken link is fixed - Choosing the Default Uplink behaviour the link textbox is grayed out to make clear that this link will not be used as uplink
Chameleon v3.11 Service release - Using "Large thumbs for folders" resulted in a small frame around folders without thumbnails. Bug is fixed. - Using files without extension on Macs caused exception used with "new" folder feature. Fixed.
Chameleon v3.10 - New Logo filter - New Image Border for slidepage images - The indexpage header has the same width as the slidepage's - The "slideshow stops at the last image" bug is fixed - The unnecessary line feed has been removed when no text below the thumb was found - No brackets when using label in the place of comment - Movie thumbnails now handled the same way as the picture thumbnails - all the "Text below thumbs" options are working with them, and have the same outlook - No slide background for thumbnail pictures on the slide page when "Display slide mounts" is unselected - A bug when nothing is displayed when only "Date" was selected as "Text below thumbs" is fixed - Slovenian translation by Igor Trcek
Chameleon v3.04 - Option to disable slide mounts behind the thumbnails - The empty album name now handled corretly - Workaround for the broken links with filenames containing apostrophe (') - Comments are also displayed on the slidepage thumblists
Chameleon v3.03 - "New" sign for files/folders modified in the last N days. Thanks for oli/france/ - .divx movies can be included too in the albums (you need to replace the filetypes.xml in the JAlbumm root!) - Windows Media Player is now the default player for .avi files - Uderscores (_) are replaced with spaces in the label fields under the thumbnails and on the slidepages too. (An old Chameleon feature I forgot to implement in the new version)
Chameleon v3.02 - Thumblist is looking a lot better. - Print service is disabled from local disk. - More media files are played (don't forget to copy the filetypes.xml to JAlbum root, and empty the ignore pattern on the Advanced/Main tab!) - Corrected Czech translation by Miroslav Fridrich - Plural form for "Folder image count" with more than 1 image - ComboBoxes load corretly from saved projects

Chameleon v2.71 - service release Several bugfixes, including a rather ugly one which made index page tables fall apart with commented pictures. I made the generated HTML and CSS code "valid". It means that all browsers should render the generated pages correctly.
Chameleon v2.7 for JAlbum 6.1 New features: - Online print ordering feature thanks to "s1n" http://s1n.dyndns.org - Possibility to add uplink from the main page (i.e. you can link back to your homepage or to your galleries startpage) - User-defined link at the footer can open in the same window - Serbian translation by Filip Miletic - Danish translation by Henrik Andersen - Polish translation by Artur Starz Changed: - No automatic search for folder thumbnail - you can select through JAlbum user interface - The tables on the slide pages has the same width as the maximum width for the images, not the indexpage width as it was before. - Removed hint for "High quality scaling" and "Quality: 90%".

Several bugfixes related to v6.0 update, like writing out custom titles in the clickable paths and below thumbnails. Improved usage of custom thumbnails representing a folder. If none is selected, the program will find the first available picture automatically. You can disable it through the User Interface. New features: - Now you can disable the Date in the header of slides - Navigation on the image: - right 1/3: Next image - left 1/3: Previous image - middle 1/3: When linked to full size image: Download image - else: Index page
Chameleon v2.51 Bugfix: Sometimes the comment wrote out as "$comment" or "". Now it is fixed.
Chameleon v2.5 Finally I decided to rename the skin, because it has nothing to do with OSX and "dark" anymore. Thanks to David Ekholm for the idea. 3 new styles: - Gold - Silver - OrangeBlue 1 modified: - 3D light 1 new language: Slovakian (Translated by ryzko) The custom Album Name did not work in the past releases - it is now fixed. Some improvements in keyboard handling (though Opera still won't accept some keys). Resolved disappearing thumbs using Norton Internet Security firewall (hopefully).
DarkOSX v2.41 The "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" bug has been fixed.
DarkOSX v2.4 New and modified features: 2 new themes: - 3D dark - 3D light Multiple choice for "Text below thumbnails". Slideshow does not loop. You can restore it in the index.htt and slide.htt if you need anyway. More refined EXIF info handling. You can also disable it through the user interface. Google-like links now has two new links: first page | previous 20 | xx | xx | xx | next 20 | last page 4 new languages: Swedish, French, Spanish, Italian. Deutsch is corrected. Many thanks for the translations: Wolfram Seidler - Deutsch Erica - Swedish Yannick Chazeau - French Paolo Soave - Italian Roberto Puertas Lorenzo - Spanish Mark - Dutch Bugfix: JavaScript Error when generating an album with a non-default user interface language and choosing a Text below thumbnail option is eliminated. Thanks for J.P. Fielding, and Dr_IT for the useful hints.
DarkOSX v2.3 The Dutch version was named Danish in the previous version by mistake. Sorry! New Deutsch language. Translated by me, therefore might be very bad. :) Please send me correct translations to: m_laca@yahoo.com New features: Pressing ENTER on the index pages starts playing the slideshow with the first displayable slide on the page. 7 new themes: - Carstereo - Happy - Jungle - OrangeGreen - Plastic - Snake - World
DarkOSX v2.2 New features: Language selection (now English, Danish, Hungarian) for HTML and User interface too. Further translations are highly appreciated, you can find the original versions in the "texts" folder. Transition effects for both index and slide pages. Works only with Internet Explorer (or similar) browsers! Pre-caching the next/previous pictures for faster browsing. 6 new themes: - Coffee - Device - Leopard - Vanilla - Royal - Simple Some bugfixes related to Google-like links. It is not allowed to embed a movie from the parent directory (which is defult by JAlbum) on the PC-s, this is why I grayed out on the User Interface, but I left the possibility if it is solved in the future.
DarkOSX v2.1 New features: 6 differents themes: - Aluminium - Aqua_dark - Aqua_light - Black - Grays - Steel Google-like jump-list to pages. Keyboard controls: - left arrow: previuos slide or index page - right arrow: next slide or index page - up: up to index page or parent folder - space: start/stop slideshow - Home: first slide or index page - End: last slide or index page Control panel: - Album name - Album description - Custom link - Thumbnail text - Usage of random folder picture - Slideshow options
Known bugs The Watermark effect ignores the user selected color - always uses white. (a JAlbum bug) The ColorMap filter on Macs results in distorted (greenish) colors. (A Java implementation bug - I think) Loading a project might not set some checkboxes Enabled state correctly. Just turn off and on the corresponding Checkbox or reselect the ComboBox value again the made the disabled boxes editable again. (Like on Index Page the "Use Label is there's no Comment" field can be enabled by checking the "Comment" box twice) Sometimes when changing skins (e.g. BluePlusPlus) the custom user variables may interfere with each other and for example prevents Chameleon to use the correct gallery name, and also sometimes makes JAlbum itself unstable. Use the "Tools->Clear User Defined Variables" tool or just restart the program to avoid these problems. JAlbum will not process WAV, MP3, WMA, etc. files after changed to BluePlusPlus skin and returned to Chameleon for the ignore list contains their extensions. Please go to Advanced tab and clear the "ignore list" box: "(bpp\-generated)|((\.|_).*|.*\.(wav|mp3|wma|voc|mid|au|rm))"
