Galleria 1.5 released

I just released a new version of Galleria.

Here's a list of what's been changed:

The skin's interface has been reworked to make use of some of new features of Jalbum 8.5 and the actual interface also got itself a facelift in the process. Hopefully it should now be a lot more clear what the different settings are for.
Better support for folders! Folders are now displayed together with the representing folder icon. You can also choose your own style for the folder icon border. (This has been the most requested feature for the skin since it's initial release)
The size of the image scroller arrows can now be changed from the interface (the default size is also smaller).
You can now choose to use file names as a source for image captions.
The "Home" link has been moved from the footer to the breadcrumb path in the header.
The arrows for the "Dark" style is even brighter, as they still weren't visible on some screens.
A few design enhancements and a lot of minor CSS fixes.
A couple of new "hidden" options that I'll tell you about later on

Download Galleria 1.5 here.

(Please note that this release requires Jalbum 1.5 or better)

Hi,
Thanks for the new release. Unfortunately, when I tried to make my first gallery I immediately got this error:
Evaluation error on line 1:

Details:
Sourced file: inline evaluation of: `` if (thumbnailBorderSize < 0 || thumbnailBorderType == "none") { thumbnailBor . . . '' : Operator: '"<"' inappropriate for objects

I am still having problems with a couple of the settings. I checked the box to maintain the rectangular shape of the thumbs, but Galleria forced them into squares. Also, I don't understand how to properly use the Header/Footer customizing. I would like to add a logo graphic in the header, and I put in the url to the graphic and that didn't do anything. In the Footer, I'd like to add a functioning email address, but when I entered "mailto: etc" it just wrote it out as "mailto:etc." What am I missing. What HTML is it looking for?
thanks.

I can't reproduce this first problem, is there any specific setting that triggers it?

I can reproduce the problem with the "Maintain proportions" settings. I will have a look at that and will try to get a service release out at soon as possible.

Regarding the custom header and footer fields. You need to enter complete HTML code into those fields. To include an image the code would look like this:

<img src="urltoimage" alt="My logo" text="My logo" />

To include a mailto link it would look like this:

<p><a href="#">Contact me</a></p>

Please note that "#" should be replaced with "mailto:youremail" (the forum's formatting messes up the code).

Sorry to report, but it's still forcing my thumbs into squares from rectangles and is distorting the contents.

You might have to force a "Make All" to tell Jalbum to rebuild the thumbnails. Click on the little arrow on the "Make Jalbum" button and select "Make All".

Afraid not. I tried the Make All and Make Changes, and no difference. Then I unstalled and redownloaded the skin and still not difference. Tried checking and unchecking the Maintain proportions box and the thumbs are still squares.

Very strange. I can turn the setting on and off without any problems. If you go to the "About" tab of the Galleria settings, which version does it say? Also, could you please attach the jalbum-settings.jap file for your project?

Mystery solved. Apparently I was still using 1.5. Don't know why it didn't update, but now I have 1.5 and I can have rectangular thumbnails. Whoopee! Thanks.

Downloaded 1.5.1 in order to check out the subfolder support and hit a problem someone has mentioned.

my background image no longer displays (I have indicated the res url in light.css in the jalbum skins folder for Galleria as before (interestingly, this css file was not overwritten by the download of 1.5.1)
my header/footer gif files no longer display as they did before regardless of how I structure the url code (e.g., .../ or the complete http url locator)

Question: if I indicate a high number of thumbnails to be displayed will it simply activated the bottom scroll bar in the browser or will Galleria sense the screen size and wrap them?

Nice modifications! Once I learn to use them properly, I should be flying!
