Journal 24.0.0

Fixed a change in behaviour that might affect some users. Added more image formats for the logo including avif, which will require at least jAlbum 38

Added greyscale and sepia tint options to theme images.
Removed support for variant images - currently broken from jAlbum version 35 onwards, jAlbum bug report posted

Changes in light of recent events!
Still work with jAlbum 37

Fixed a typo that stopped the seasonal banner working.

Now requires a minimum of jAlbum 28 and Java 14

Added support for theme/banner image seasonal overlay and/or flourish.
Add one text file and any images to be used and your album can automatically display the overlays between any number of set dates.

For instructions see https://robm.jalbum.net/Journal%20Skin/Miscellaneous/index.html
(The above and sample albums have Christmas overlay between 17 & 31 December, New Year January 1 to 5 and Easter April 7 to 10)

Improved some CSS

Groovy scripted, settings changed automatically depending on the structure of the project. Changed settings are reset after the build except for when folders have subfolders, then using thumbnails for navigation is turned off and you are prompted to save the change (optional).

Fixed some bugs that affected specific project structures - not commonly expected structures.

Fixed a bug that prevented the table of content's images showing if setting jAlbum/Images/Advanced/Output format was set to webp.

Added logo options. Can be left, centre, or right aligned within the theme image. If overriding the theme image on the landing page the logo must be left or right aligned.

Completely new version. Does not use templates (web pages). If they were used remove them and use the override control for the folder in 'Edit mode'.

New:
Content width (under Images);
Supports variants for 'slide' images
Option to download largest available image option (under Images);
Forces HiDPI thumbnails if the image is large enough;
Web Loc indicator;
Image alignment override via Edit mode of each folder;
Include thumbnails on TOC and for page navigation links, with settings on TOC and Navigation tab;
Thumbnail shape and position controls;
Title position control, above, inside or below thumbnail images.

Now using Class detection to allow syntax highlighting for jAlbum v22+, with fallback to none highlighting for older versions back to 17.

No change from version 10 except that it agains works on older versions of jAlbum - 13.8 upwards.
CSS Syntax highlighting works on jAlbum 22+
No CSS Syntax highlighting on earlier versions.

Requires jAlbum 22 or greater! It will not work with earlier versions

Updated to include code highlighting in the text areas, for example the Custom CSS panel.

New option to display unnamed regions, in the album unnamed regions are shown as 'Unknown 1', 'Unknown 2' etc.

Also supports regions in an image that have the same name, such as people with the same first name.

Updated skin manual, settings are highlighted using regions and links to the settings are included.

Skin would report an error if 'Include photographic data in generated pages' was not selected. Updated code so a warning is displayed IF region support is enabled (it was on by default) but photographic data is NOT selected.
Warning message is 'Face/Region support requires Settings>Advanced>Metadata>Include photographic data in generated pages' to be enabled. Face/Region support is now disabled by default.

New Image settings:

The landing page's theme image can now be set to the normal theme, an un-cropped version of the theme image, or to a the album's representing image.

The Table of Contents page can now include thumbnails as part of the link to each item.

Regions supported by jAlbum are now included.
Regions support can be on or off.

Links to regions are shown, clicking the link moves the region to the top of the page. The region's description can be shown under the link and seen by hovering over the image's region.

Alternatively, entering another object's base filename, in the region's description field, will target that object and bring it to the top of the page.

Improved layout of float image options which now also work with limit length of text on a line. New image alignment and template option to float images to the right but keep the title on the left.

Various other minor changes.

If using any templates to override the selected image alignment then you should replace those templates with a new one from this update.

New option for theme image, now choose from contain or cover, scale to fit or crop width to keep height constant.

Changed how the constrain text length works, now defaults to unselected and works only left, centre and right alignment of image options (not with the float options) and only constrains on wide (>=768px) browser window.

New templates added for images to float left or right of any text.

Files in the root folder are now supported provided subfolders are not used, this lets you build a single page journal. For such a project the landing and index (TOC) pages are automatically bypassed - as they would be superfluous.

If a project has folders and files at the root level then a warning message will appear and album build will stop. Either put the files in a folder or remove them from the project.

Can now use audio (mp3), video, web locations and 'other' files, like PDFs in the project. Page templates from other skins cannot be used, the album will not build until they are excluded or removed.

Changes to the font styling to make text cleaner on small devices and/or with large font sizes.

Added option to bypass the landing page.
Slight CSS change to improve spacing between images and subjects.

Changed suggested/example Google fonts to Merriweather and Lato

Included Netbeans project for the skin.
