Boxer 4.3.3

Updated:
- Now uses a SkinModel.java file to enforce proper data types in Jalbum 8.9 and higher.
- Descriptions previously marked "top" and "bottom" are now "Above thumbnails" and "Below thumbnails" on the General tab.

New:
- There are now 2 description fields: one that is displayed at the top of the page, and the existing one at the bottom.

Updated:
- Link to External Home Page has moved from the General tab to the Navigation tab
- Sometimes custom album title was enabled when it shouldn't have been
- HTML tab has been cleaned up. Help that was previously displayed on the tab is now available when you mouseover the fields.
- Search and Webring from the Customize tab have been removed (I don't think anyone used them).
- The remainder of the Customize tab has been combined with the Advertising tab into a single Ads/Analytics tab.

New:

The Boxer settings tab has been updated so that when you enable/disable features, the corresponding options also get enabled/disabled. This should make it even easier to use the Boxer skin!

The links at the top of the Boxer tab (Check for updates, etc.) have been moved to Boxer > About tab, which has also been redesigned.

Note:

Watermarks (Filters tab) and External Links to websites (General tab) now both have a new "Enable..." option that needs to be enabled to use these features; please update your existing projects if you use either of these features.

Also, this version now requires Jalbum 8.6 or higher.

New:
- Widget Bar may now be displayed in black (default) or white (new). Option can be found on the Boxer > CSS page.
- 2 new CSS files: 1c Mamba and 2c Purple Paper. Graphics from the Mamba and Film skins.

New:
- 10 new "New!" icons to choose from, plus the old icon which is now called "green". The new default ("signal") is shown in the user interface.
- 4 new .css files - variations on #5's Bright White style. 5b-5e use a white background with various colors borrowed from other .css files as the colors for the title bar.
- Compatible with Online Jalbum (Camelot)

Updated:
- Crossfading between images is now turned off by default

Updated:
- Fixes a bug when displaying EXIF/IPTC in the overlay.

New:
- IPTC Location field added. Tested with IrfanView by entering data into the Sublocation field; this is not the XMP Location that Photoshop CS3 uses.

Updated:
- Highslide.js upgraded to version 4.1.8

New:
- IPTC support! Fields: Author, Copyright, City, State/Province, Country. The EXIF tab has been renamed to EXIF/IPTC, and the tab has been redesigned. All field names can be translated into any language on the Translate tab.
- Lots of new options on the CSS tab, giving much more control over the text in the Highslide JS caption.
- Additional icons in the Boxer user interface to make it easier to understand.
- Other things that I've forgotten. :)

Updated:
- Highslide.js has been upgraded to version 4.1.7.

New:
- Control the CSS for links in the caption. Options include text size, color, bold, italic, underline and hover underline.

Updated:
- Caption bar now uses the caption text background color (as set on Boxer > CSS) as the default background color for the expander. Change affects captions when displayed to the left or right of the photo only; no change when the caption is displayed below the photo.

New:
- 4 new Highslide Outline colors - gold, green, maroon and pink!

Updated:
- The brown Highslide Outline file has been updated; it now is narrower and has rounded corners.
- EXIF focal length calculation is now done by Jalbum instead of the Boxer skin.
- Highslide.js script updated to version 4.1.5.

Included from 4.0.11 (previously only available in the Jalbum download package):
- Watermark filter now lets you set the text to any angle.

New:

- Fixed minor bugs in the 2a CSS file

Updated:
- Fixed focal length issue when 35mm equivalent option was not selected

Updated:
- Fixed the lightbox dimming color

Updated:
- Upgraded highslide.js to version 4.1.4. See www.highslide.com for changelog.

Updated:
- Fixes bugs introduced in 4.0.5.

Updated:
- Fixed bugs when certain combinations of options were selected on the File and Folder tab.

Updated:
- "Hide thumbnail" option was not working properly

New:
- Option to include IE interpolation fix (CSS)

Updated:
- Fixed W3C HTML validation errors

Updated:
- Upgraded highslide.js to version 4.1.2 (bug fixes only)

Updated:
- Uses highslide.js version 4.1.1, which fixes performance issues and other bugs

New:
- The Boxer tab in the Settings window has been redesigned to be even easier to use
- Navigation arrows can now be black, gold, gray, green or red (previously only gold was available)
- New control bar! Full expand icon is now in the control bar, and the control bar can be either white or black and can be placed in any corner or top/bottom center. (Previously only available in top right corner.)
- Control bar can be forced to a fixed location, so the previous/next arrows don't move around.
- Slideshow! Set the time interval in the Boxer tab, start and stop on the web page. The slideshow can also be started automatically on first thumbnail click.
- Caption bar can now be below, on the right or left.
- Image crossfading now available!
- Jalbum's Link to Originals via Scaled Image option is now supported.
- EXIF information can now be displayed in the overlay (3.x only option) or in the caption bar (looks great when the caption is on the right or left).

Updated:
- Highslide.js upgraded to version 4.1.
- No more CSS info in the HTML pages! All CSS is now in the .css files, which should make generated index.html pages much smaller (and easier to read).

New:
- EXIF support now includes automatic focal length calculation from Jalbum's cameras.properties file. (Thanks to Exhibit Plus skin for providing source code!)

Updated:
- EXIF tab simplified, and manual focal length data entry removed as it is no longer necessary.

Updated:
- Fixed the breadcrumb path to allow the folder name as the base path instead of album title

Updated:
- Title bar has been changed to allow more granular control of the album title and folder names. The new default value disables the album title and turns on the folder name in the root directory, so for existing albums you will need to turn the album title back on and disable "Including root folder" to maintain the old title bar look.
- Fixed a bug regarding nested folder titles
- The HTML title (shows in the browser's title bar) has been updated to reflect the same settings as the album title.

New:
- EXIF: When no EXIF is available, you can now display the file date and time instead of "No EXIF information"
- On the Boxer tab, there are now links to Check for updates, the Jalbum Skin Viewer and Boxer's support forum

Updated:
- When the Show EXIF option is deselected, EXIF information is no longer written to the index.html files (previously it was writing the data but not using it)

Updated:
- Bug fixes in the 4a and 8 .css files
- Changed some default settings

Updated the .css preview files to reduce the size of the download package by nearly 50%.

Bumped the doctype back to Transitional, since Strict no longer exists (yet somehow validates?).

New:
- 6 new CSS files - more gradient color choices!

Updated:
- HTML now validates to Strict instead of Transitional
- CSS files now validated to CSS 2.1 (new option to display CSS logo, too)
- Fixed a bug where the Highslide Expanded Image Border CSS was not displaying on all browsers
- New Expand icon

New:
- EXIF support! A new EXIF tab has been created in Settings > Boxer where you can select the fields to include. EXIF data shows up as an overlay at the bottom of the photo. Font size and colors can be selected on the CSS tab.

Updated:
- On the Highslide JS tab, you can now select the location of the "full expand icon". If EXIF is enabled, it is recommended that this be moved to the "top left" so that the EXIF data doesn't cover the expand icon.

Updated:
Some .css files were having problems displaying the "Loading..." text and animation. This has been fixed, and the colors of the text and background can now be selected from the Boxer > CSS tab.

New:
- More .css files, using gradient colors instead of solids. Check out css's: 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a and 4b!

Updated:
- New breadcrumb trail code from Classic Aligned 2. Addresses issues of mixing real and virtual folders, and also no longer links to the current folder since it is not necessary to link to the current page.

New:
- Navigation arrows are now available below the thumbnails, in addition to above. The "Page 1 of x" text is now inline with the arrows instead of below.
- Show comments below the thumbnails, with a custom separator value.
- "Smart" dialog boxes: you can now right-click the text boxes to copy, paste, undo, redo, etc.

Updated:
- Updated to highslide.js version 3.3.22. Now using the "packed" version, which is 20K smaller than the text version.
- "Breadcrumb" code has been moved to scripts\index-breadcrumbs.inc so it's easier to swap out different versions of the code (there are several available in the forum at this point in the General Development section).
- Cleaned up the res folder, and added a few new icons for Jalbum Skin Viewer use (smaller than what was removed).

New:
- 4a Blue Sky Cloudy.css. I hope you like it!
- Translate the alt/title text for the Highslide JS folder's Resize handle on the Translate tab

Updated:
- Updated highslide.js to version 3.3.21
- Redesigned the Translate tab into the vertical format used by most other tabs. It also has a few more graphics on it so you know what the items are.
- Fixed a minor W3C compliance issue that only happened under very specific circumstances

Updated:
- Relies on Jalbum to populate the $description variable instead of manually reading it from meta.properties (for Jalbum 8 compatibility) as $descript. Existing projects will need to have their description re-entered on the Boxer > General tab, or edit the .jap file and change "description=..." to "albumDescription=..."
- Fixed bug in "3 Black n Blue.css" which was not allowing proper vertical thumbnail alignment.
- When using Highslide JS with folders, it now forces the caption bar to a specific height so that all browsers display exactly the same.

New:
- Open folders in Highslide JS windows! Set default window size, minimum window size, optionally show the folder name as the window title. Note: This feature uses Highslide's html/iframe implementation.
- CSS tab! Now you can select the colors of the Highslide JS elements, such as the caption bar colors and font size. (More to come...)
- Supports the Jalbum 8 file title. If the title exists, it will replace the filename. In Jalbum 7 and earlier this feature automatically disables itself. (Jalbum 8 is not a requirement for this skin.)
- Can optionally disable linking the text and icons below folders to opening the folder.

Updated:
- With the new CSS tab some defaults have changed. Primarily there is no longer a thin white line surrounding the expanded photo. To put it back, go to the CSS tab and change both of the "0px" options to "2px" (without the quotes).
- SuperFast is now enabled by default.
- File and Folder tab has been redesigned.
- Highslide JS script updated to version 3.3.19.
- Loading animation now shows.
- Previews for each of the included .css files.

New:
- Option to hide the thumbnail when the photo has been expanded
- Option to disable caption bar sliding
- Thumbnail alignment can now be set separately for files and folders

Updated:
- New folder icons, including a large icon for when no photo has been selected as the folder icon
- File and Folder and Customize tabs have been redesigned
- Items from the old Misc tab have been moved to more relevant locations (File and Folder, Customize and HTML) and the Misc tab has been removed
- Highslide JS upgraded to 3.3.17

New:
- 2 new Bouncing effects: "Bounce Up and Back" and "Bounce Back and Up"
- All Bouncing effects now have optional "SuperFast transitions" to bounce 2X faster than normal
- Control the number of photos that the highslide.js script will cache when the page is loaded

Updated:
- Highslide JS script updated to version 3.3.14
- Bug fix for Search when using console mode

New:
- Display comments under thumbnails
- Control the separator between the filename and comments
- Control the vertical alignment of the thumbnails within the cell (new default is "top").

New:
- HTML tab now allows you to specify the width of table cells, so you can create fixed-width columns. Leave at the default of 2000 for variable-width columns.

New:
- External File Download option on the File and Folder tab allows download of files not created by JAlbum, such as a .zip file that contains the contents of a folder, related documents, etc. You specify the name of the folder that you create in the Output folder, put the files there and Boxer will create the link (the files must exist before clicking Make Album). The Publish feature will upload the files for you, and the "clean output directory on All" option should not delete these files, but always keep a backup. (Don't use the slides or thumbs folder for these files.)

Updated:
- Tighter title bar height when not using Search

New:
- Watermark filter now supports horizontal and vertical offsets for better positioning of the watermark text
- Alt/Title text can now display the comment instead of the label (optionally, of course)

Updated:

New:
- Option to disable the full expand icon
- Disable right-click on expanded image

Updated:

- Highslide JS options have moved from the Navigation tab to their own tab

Updated:
- Upgraded highslide.js to version 3.3.8
- Leaderboard ads fixed
- Options on Navigation tab reworded for clarity

Updated:
- When displaying no text beneath thumbnails, IE was displaying a blank line. Now, if you uncheck all boxes on the "File and Folder" tab (except the Highslide-specific option) the blank line is gone and there is an equal border on all sides.

Fixed:
- When using skyscraper ads with a fixed-width thumbnail table, centering was off to the left.

Fixed:
- Skyscraper ads were not displaying as intended

Updated:
- Additional performance enhancements

New:
- Additional outline type: rounded-black

Updated:
- CSS for highslide.js is handled differently in this version, so the full path to the published URL is no longer required
- Increased efficiency
- Smaller download

Fixed:
Translated text on the "Expand" icon wasn't translating (defaulted back to English).

Fixed:
Version 2.1 was not displaying the "expand to actual size" icon properly.

New:
- Lightbox style dimmer will dim the background to any color and strength (opacity) you select. Note: When using the lightbox dimmer only one photo can be opened at a time; disable it to allow multiple photos to be viewed simultaneously.

Updated:

- Rearranged the Boxer > Navigation tab to allow for new features
- Removed some unnecessary code

New:
- Translate tab now allows translation of the HighSlide control bar icons

Updated:
- Leaderboard and Referrals now auto-center themselves
- "Page 1 of x" text can now be a much longer string before wrapping to the next line
- Images now have both ALT and TITLE attributes
- Minor reformatting to allow tighter clearances around thumbnails when no text is displayed
- Removed border around W3C HTML compliant logo
- Added code to ensure ${label} doesn't get "stuck" when switching from Chameleon to Boxer
- Moved outlines.psd out of the res folder to the root of Boxer so it is not uploaded with every album (about 500K)

New:
- 2 new Outline types in Boxer -> Navigation: beveled and brown. Beveled is now the default, and brown looks great with style 8 Arizona.css.
- Optionally expand the HighSlide JS boxes on mouseover instead of clicking. When you move the mouse outside the HighSlide JS box it automatically collapses.
- Published Album URL field is available to help the HighSlide JS effect find the custom cursors in IE7. Fill in the URL to where you publish the album (like: http://alan927.myjalbum.net/boxer) and it will find the files, preventing some occasional 404 errors.

Updated:
- CSS styles 2 Purple Pavement.css and 4 Blue Sky.css have been completely rebuilt. They look similar to the old versions, but have bug fixes and a few minor color changes.
- All CSS files have been modified with various bug fixes and updates, mostly to correct centering issues experienced under specific conditions.

Removed:
- Cell Padding slider removed from the HTML tab since the new CSS updates now control all padding functionality.

2 new subtabs under Settings -> Boxer: Translate and HTML.

- New null outline type for HighSlide JS Navigation
- Filters tab has been updated to use slider bars instead of text boxes for Zoom % and Strength % to eliminate out of bounds errors/crashes
- ALT text on index thumbnails can now be hidden

New: Added checkboxes that allow you to turn off the "breadcrumbs" in the top left corner and the album title bar, so that you can turn off options to the point where only thumbnails are shown on index pages - no text at all.

New: Folder comments can now be displayed in the title/search bar when the folder name is displayed.

Also added additional tooltips and did some minor reformatting of the Boxer tab for a better visual look when going from tab to tab.

Fixed: If users checked the "Make slides" box in Settings -> Navigation (not on the Boxer tab) an error "Unable to find slide.htt" would prevent the album from building. Boxer now automatically unchecks the box if it's checked since this skin does not have or need a slide.htt file.

See history for new features in 1.2.

New - Additional HighSlide JS options on the Boxer -> Navigation tab:
- Ability to hide the caption bar below the photo
- 3 types of outlines available

Changed: Default CSS is now "5 Bright White.css", the "Crop to Fixed Shape" option is now enabled by default, miscellaneous updates to CSS files 4-7.

New: Watermark filter now supports all fonts on the local computer and can apply bold and/or italic styles to them.

New: Image Filter support for Fixed Shapes, Grayscale, Zoom and Watermark.

New: On index pages you can now choose to display/hide folder and file names independently, so that folder names can be shown and file names hidden.

New: Checkbox to control whether or not to show filenames in the HighSlide boxes. (Thanks for the request, waltbros!)

Initial release.
