Updated to make it function better with the latest version of jAlbum.
6.2.4 Mar 18, 2012
Added user variables 'toplocation' and 'mobilelocation'. Check documentation for more info.
6.2.3 Jan 13, 2012
Made changes to ensure compatibility with the new Jalbum v10.3.
6.2.0 May 4, 2011
I've packed v6.2 with a new style: 'Landscape'. This new style features a horizontally oriented design. The best choice for panoramic pictures.
6.1.24 Feb 18, 2011
Some more text issues fixed (when creating a text page) and I've added some variables to the advanced settings panel (you can now specify the width/height of your album).
6.1.23 Feb 16, 2011
Since jAlbum 9 the white lines in the descriptions appeared as two white lines. Fixed it! As well as the color of the description which was showing up in black all the time.
6.1.22 Jan 22, 2011
Updated the 'text' functionality of the Default style. You can now specify the width manually. See 'custom menu items' documentation for more info.
6.1.21 Jan 7, 2011
Fixed a bug where the description didn't appear when using a custom typeface with the Default style.
And it will now load the first folder when the home page is empty, like it used to.. I broke it when introducing scrolling functionality to the menu. (Default style)
The 'Positioning variables' are now also being applied when re-opening a project.
6.1.18 Nov 19, 2010
Update: the mobile viewer now shows a non-scrollable version when loaded in an iFrame. You can just click the image to advance to the next. That sure is a lot more convenient!
6.1.17 Oct 25, 2010
I did some updates to the styles and the various styles now activate their own specific color scheme.
6.1.15 Aug 3, 2010
I made some changes in the way the album is being embedded in the page (wmode now set to opaque). This fixes the erratic behaviour when going in full screen with firefox v3.6.8.
I also did some updates on the iPhone compatible viewer.
6.1.14 Jul 30, 2010
Updates to the iPhone/iPad compatible viewer when using sub-folders.
6.1.12 Jun 5, 2010
Optimized for all iProducts! Your images are now also being shown when visiting your album with the iPhone or iPad.
6.1.11 May 3, 2010
Thumbnails issue, when positioned on the left side of the screen has been fixed!
6.1.10 Apr 19, 2010
Some positioning issues in the style files have been fixed.
6.1.9 Oct 1, 2009
You can now specify the render quality... It's switched off by default for best performance, but for best image quality, switch it on!
6.1.8 Sep 14, 2009
Internet Explorer visibility issues resolved. Support for image transparency added.
6.1.7 Sep 12, 2009
Better widget support. Please note that it's either more accurate color display, or the widgets...
6.1.5 Jul 20, 2009
I've added two thumbnail styles ('bounds' and 'surface') and I've fixed some UTF-8 encoding issues.
6.1.4 Apr 19, 2009
Those 'special characters' issues keep on bothering me. Some people experienced issues when using spaces in folder names.
6.1.3 Apr 6, 2009
Some additional fixes concerning special characters. And the menu now opens and closes smoothly (if there are any sub-folders in there...).
6.1.2 Mar 27, 2009
I've fixed a bug which was related to the special characters 'fix' in v6.1.1. This bug caused an error when generating an album with sub-folders.
6.1.1 Mar 26, 2009
I've fixed some issues which occured when having filenames with special characters. There's a new typeface to choose from (when using the 'Default' style): 'non-Latin'. You should select this typeface when you're using Chinese, Russian, etc. characters.
6.0.11 Mar 13, 2009
Some fixes and updates to the Default style: Tools now have a roll-over color! Folder titles will now be shown in the menu. User Variable added: 'loop'. You can set it to 'false' if you don't want it to return to the first image when the last image in the sequence has been reached. Updates to the settings panel: I've added an 'About' tab with links to the forum and the documentation.
6.0.10 Feb 12, 2009
Some minor bugs have been fixed (donut loader, default style) and you can now use the user variable 'loadfirstifempty' (true/false).
6.0.9 Jan 9, 2009
Some backgroundimage parameters added: scale (true/false), constainproportions (true/false). When loading the videoPlayer as first 'image' the album won't stall. Direct download functionality (php) fixed!
6.0.8 Nov 27, 2008
Some minor fixes: bug fix with the backgroundimage tiling functionality, menu positioning settings added to the BananAlbum positioning tab, bug fix when using a header.
6.0.7 Nov 6, 2008
I've added the possibility to choose from a selection of typefaces in the BananAlbum 'more' settings panel and the color settings will now be remembered when saving your project.
6.0.6 Oct 15, 2008
The update to v6.0.6 is massive. I've added some new styles and created a new default style. With this new style I've changed the lay-out and one big advantage is that you can now specify the size of the typeface and incorporate your own typefaces! The default transition is set to 'none', I like it snappy! You can always set it back to 'smooth' in the BananAlbum settings panel.
I've also added the possibility to choose various color schemes to the BananAlbum settings panel!
6.0.5 Jun 27, 2008
Some updates to the styles: àáäåèéêëòóöøùúûü, etcetera.
6.0.3 May 29, 2008
Some updates to the settings panel. Nothing has changed in the flash files.
6.0.2 May 17, 2008
I've added an 'enable menu' select box to the BananAlbum settings panel and I've improved the download functionality.
6.0.1 May 14, 2008
I've added a new style called 'rounded' and I've made some improvements in the BananAlbum settings panel.
6.0 Apr 24, 2008
With BananAlbum v6.0 you can choose various appearances. By appearance I mean the kind of menu used, the typefaces, icons, etcetera. These appearances are called 'styles'. As time goes on I'll be adding more and more 'styles' as well as handy 'plugins', such as an audio-player, an exif-info-viewer, etcetera.
I've also changed the file structure. You've got three files: settings.xml, album.xml and menu.xml. That's a lot more convenient then all data being put together in one single file!
Make sure you check out the documentation at www.bananalbum.com/documentation.
5.1 Mar 21, 2007
The first album from the menu will automatically be loaded when there are no images in the main album. So your album won't start with an empty screen!
5.0.7 Mar 3, 2007
I've changed the default colors and the transition is now more smooth. You can select the previous transition called "classic" from the BananAlbum Expert settings tab in JAlbum.
5.0.6 Feb 16, 2007
Improvements: autostart slideshow bug fixed, doubleclick check added to the menu/BananaTree, so clicking like a maniac won't cripple the album!, autohide thumbs functionality improved..., background image bug fixed.
5.0 Jan 29, 2007
v5.0! Updates: download image using right mouse button, full screen mode! (press right mouse button, Flash Player 9 required), show thumbnails in a 'grid', show active thumbnail with a bar instead of a hairline around it, improved movement of the thumbnails, add your logo! (see my weblog), etcetera.
4.6 Dec 17, 2006
This is a skin update only... Nothing has changed to the Flash file, so it's still BananAlbum v4.1.1. I've added an improved version of the arial typeface and the posibility to create your own typefaces. See my weblog for more info.
4.2 Oct 20, 2006
With v4.1.1 (not v4.2) BananAlbum got rid of one bug which could appear when albums were filled with a lot of images. I've also made some changes to the JAlbum GUI.
4.1 Oct 1, 2006
Updates: optimized thumbnail movement, background tiling, date as label, upgraded advanced preloading, etc, etc.
4.0 Jul 20, 2006
BananAlbum v4.0 has a lot of new functionality, such as image preloading, background image (fullscreen or tiled), autohide the thumbnails wherever they are, advanced positioning posibilities of all elements, improved slideshow functionality, improved download functionality (php), crop the thumbnails, improvements to the JAlbum GUI, optimized for the latest Flash Player, workaround for the annoying 'Click to Activate' (Internet Explorer) implemented, etc.
3.3 Dec 19, 2005
BananAlbum is a very simple and elegant skin. It has a lot of features; choose your own colors, select a typeface, place the thumbnails at the top, bottom, left or at the right, support for movies, browse through your images using the cursor keys, etc. BananAlbum also features a hightech hierarchical menu (the BananaTree) and autoscale functionality which creates high quality images!
