Photoblogger 7.5.1

Changed:
- When there are only a few placemarks, the map might zoom in too tightly. Now the zoom is limited to the "Initial zoom" level, regardless of whether one or more placemarks are displayed.

- The default threshold for the top menu to be replaced with a button has been raised to 16
- The maximum for this "Use button above" has raised to 200
- As Map falls back to OpenStreetMap since v6.1, it might appear unintended if Sections / Map was enabled. The skin now turns off this setting when opening an older album with no Google API key.

Fixed:

- The previous and next folder's link is broken when the folder's name ends with ".something" and "Force JPEG images" is used

Updated:
- French, and Dutch translations

New:
- Pinch zoom support. The controls and other panels in the lightbox stay in place while pinch zooming, in contrast to the browser's zoom, which zooms the whole page.
- You can mark shop options as "digital delivery" for items you don't want handling applied. Just add " D" at the end of the line! For example, "download=10.0 D". This works with the global and individual options in the Image data panel. It is useful when you have mixed physical and digital products and want to avoid adding handling to digital-only carts.
- Non-linear handling fee, depending on the number of items in the cart. It is useful if your products are similar and can apply the same shipping fee to any item. Format: PerCart + PerItem + AfterFirst
- High-resolution hero background image for HiDpi devices. This option is now the default because the number of HiDpi devices keeps increasing.
- You can use the "&" character in search in place of "and". (E.g., 'cat & dog' - mind the spaces around!)
- In the tag cloud, you can avoid collecting tags from Folders, Pages, or Web Locations. Now, by default, the skin collects tags only from folders. Previously, it collected tags from every custom page, too.
- Threads and Bluesky sharing (experimental)
- Open Street Map is used when no Google Maps API key is provided
- Possibility to control the slideshow interval and transition speed for images independently; see Edit mode -> Image data panel
- Double-clicking or tapping the image zooms into the clicked/tapped area
- The mouse wheel in the lightbox can be used for Navigation, Zoom, or left for the browser to handle it
- Enabling and selecting the map's placement can also be done on the Site / Map panel

Changed:
- Google Maps is loaded asynchronously to match their requirements. It was already asynchronous, but Google did not understand the code.
- A few libraries were overwritten to unify image transforms. In the process, support for old Internet Explorers was removed. This was necessary to support pinch handling, resulting in smoother image handling in the lightbox.
- The skin now warns users when they try to open an album from the filesystem because doing so corrupts many of its functions. Always use jAlbum's Preview (F12) to test local albums!
- 1 letter tags are now also displayed in the Tag cloud box
- Redesigned Cookie Policy / GDPR compliance popup
- Better zoom toggle behavior when the zoom toggle button is used (not the zoom slider)
- The "horizontal" thumbnail layout was removed and replaced with the better "justified" layout

Fixed:
- Can't jump to the next folder's first image when that's not a JPEG or a movie
- GDPR Cookie Policy URL doesn't work
- Asking only GDPR compliance without a Cookie policy warning does not trigger the popup
- Unreadable disabled buttons
- Tooltips might fade too early
- Images might be enlarged more than the Max. zoom would allow when "Fit to screen" used

New:
- 3 new autopano speeds: "very slow", "moderate" and "quick"

Changed:
- The Start slideshow button got a semi-transparent dark background when the header has an image background
- Twitter got replaced with X on the Contact page

Fixed:
- HTML and CSS validation errors
- The image might disappear in the lightbox after swiping left the last image or right the first one, when "After last image" action is "Up one level"
- Theme image might be 20-30px narrower than the optimal when the header is not "Full-width"
- Lightbox goes fullscreen function doesn't work
- The fullscreen button behaves inconsistently
- Slightly narrower thumbnails when using borders in "justified" thumbnail layout
- 50% of the lightbox image padding value used
- Fit image to screen doesn't work in certain setups

Fixed:
- Search cannot find keywords containing dashes or spaces

Changed:
- Better search overall

Fixed:
- Search did not find all the images, especially when started from the "Tag cloud" search box

Fixed:
- Search and random hero image is broken (and probably a few more database-related functions)

Updated:
- Dutch and French translations

Fixed:
- Search is broken

New:
- Base font size has received new options (smaller and larger variations)
- Use a single space if you want a sidebar box to have no label

Changed:
- Photo data popup window made more flexible to cater to longer labels
- Besides the Comment and Title fields all other variables are treated now as un-divisible, that is, the tag cloud will not contain every word from them separately. Previously, only these fields were un-divisible: creator, keywords, filename, and regions.
- Variables used in Tag cloud and Search are treated as arrays (multi-value variables) when using ';' semicolon(s), e.g. "foo;boo" will add both "foo" and "boo" to the Tag cloud. This doesn't apply to the Comment and Title fields.

Fixed:
- Custom code for BODY did not appear
- Some 360 pano parameters were not passed over to the 360 VR viewer
- Folder title/description might break into new line unnecessarily if the text is too long

- Underlined buttons in the lightbox of the New images page

New:
- You can add GPX paths to be displayed on the map by placing the GPX file in the Image directory (Ctrl-Shift-I)

Fixed:
- When using TIFF (or RAW) images and including the originals, the lightbox might try to load these files when the scaled image is too small for the available space. This fails, naturally, as browsers aren't capable of displaying such files.
- Tag cloud box search finds images from subfolders too, even though the function collects tags only from the "current" folder

- With the "Vertical" thumbnail layout the thumbnails stop loading on the index page after entering and exiting the lightbox

Fixed:
- Thumbnails stop loading on the index page after entering and exiting the lightbox
- The date format of the "New marker" doesn't match the album language
- The map on the "New images" page is always displayed above the thumbnails regardless of the "Sections order"
- Better margins and alignment for the "New images" custom page
- Loading larger thumbnails or even the slide images unnecessarily with the "Grid" and "Fix grid" thumbnail layouts, slowing down the page load

Fixed:
- The last image might linger on in the background after the first image is loaded
- Memory overload when closing the "after last image" dialog
- Clicking the image during the autopano panning does not stop the image
- The last row in the "Justified" thumbnail layout might break into two lines

Updated:
- French, Dutch, and Italian translations

New:
- 2 new styles: Chocolate and Latte
- Sticky sidebar which does not scroll with the thumbnails, and stays in view
- Sticky Top bar; this way the menu and Search functions are always accessible
- The hero background image can be made "Black and White"

- Logo has different padding on the main page and in the subfolders

Updated:
- French and Dutch translations

New:
- Possibility to customize the email body in the social sharing options

Updated:
- Dutch, French, and Hungarian translations

Changed:
- Instead of "Search box visible by default" there are two behaviors: the input box is always visible (you cannot hide it), or it can be toggled the old way.
- The input box does not push the social icons or the top menu when it's toggled. Now the box is imposed over these items, so it avoids rearranging the top bar during hide/show.

Fixed:
- The top menu was lingering over the Hero area invisibly, preventing interaction with elements below it, resulting in unintended navigation.
- The top bar could trigger horizontal scrolling of the whole page if there were too many items (e.g. social icons) in it

Updated:
- French and Dutch translations

Please note, with version 4.0 the Zurb Foundation framework got removed and replaced by the skin's own code. This code is responsible for making the albums responsive. If your album is using custom codes containing "row" and "column" attributes you might want to double-check if the new version is good for you.

New:
- Top bar can be made sticky, i.e. it stays at the top when you scroll down
- New thumbnail layout: "Justified", which is similar to "Masonry", but this layout always justifies the thumbnail blocks to the column width, by using Javascript
