If the index page is skipped, user setting 'Use full screen for a picture' is now again executed.

There are now several methods to enter the full screen mode if the light-box is opened:

If check-box 'Show Full screen button' on the Slide page / Options tab is checked:
* If viewer setting 'Use full screen setting for a picture:'= 'no', the light-box is opened in normal mode and it will go in Full screen mode if you click the enter Full screen button.

If check-box 'Show Full screen button' on the Slide page / Options tab is unchecked:
* If viewer setting 'Use full screen setting for a picture:'= 'no', the light-box is opened in normal mode and it will never go in Full screen mode because there is no enter Full screen button.

The left arrow button was sometimes not visible.

For sharing a slide page, an unique link is now generated for each slide page no matter how you sort the images. It has the same format as used by the Tiger skin, like 'album_dir/#img=Vecht_121027'
You will not see this format in the URL field of the browser, there you still see the format 'album_dir/#?M3', but if you put a new image before the shared image and you enter the shared URL 'album_dir/#img=Vecht_121027' in the UL field of the browser, the same shared image will be displayed.
If you click the Share button, both the link to the slide image and the link to the slide web page will be copied to the clipboard:
https://andrewolff.jalbum.net/PS/slides/Vecht_121027.jpg | https://andrewolff.jalbum.net/PS/#img=Vecht_121027 |

If you display a route track in an album and you open that track with the Google Maps button on the index page, the current location will be updated each 5 seconds, so you can now follow the route on the map: move in such a way that the blue circle coincides with the track.

You see now a zoom animation from thumbnail to slide image if you click on a thumbnail. If you close the light-box, you see a similar animation. The duration of this animation is determined by the combo-box 'Animation duration' on the 'Slide page / Options' tab.

If the option "Enable slide show" is not set and also option "Use 'Tap image' to show next image" is cleared, clicking in the slide image on a PC will zoom the image and on a mobile device it will toggle the tool-bar.
This is done because on a PC it is not possible to zoom by double clicking in in image, what is possible on a mobile device. Notice that you can also use the mouse-wheel for zooming.

The Spherical Panorama Viewer could not be used in a folder album.
The Spherical Panorama did show the caption twice.
The first hint of an audio slide is now also correctly showed.

Version 4 of the Spherical Panorama Viewer library is now used.
Spherical panoramas are now always opened in the lightbox without previews. It replaces now the slide image in the lightbox, so the same navigation and tool buttons are used.
Spherical panoramas will only be opened in the Spherical Panorama Viewer if check-mark ''Use Spherical Panorama Viewer" is set.

Audio clips could already be added with user variable audioImg, however if you have jAlbum version 28 you can use too the Audio clip menu. Sadly, it is in that menu not possible to enter an hint for the audio control, to show the title of the clip or show a mandatory copyright statement. You have to do the with user variable audioHint.
An audio file started in the index page is now paused in the lightbox if there are audio clips played in the lightbox.
A slideshow gets suspended until a video or audio clip has finished.

The mouse-wheel can now always be used for zooming.

Vdeos show now also a caption if check-mark 'Prevent that the description overlaps the image' is unchecked but not if this check-mark is set.

The skin uses now the new PhotoSwipe library version 5.2.3.
For jAlbum version 27 the width and height fields behind the Fixed-shape folder thumbnails check-mark are no longer displayed in the Folders tab.
These values are now copied to the Folders bound field on the jAlbum image tab if check-mark 'Process folder thumbs' is cleared.
For folders you should now always set check-mark 'Process folder thumbs' and enter the folder image bounds in the 'Folders' image bounds field.
This allows you to use much larger folder icons as before version 27 and if you use fixed-shape folder thumbnails you can use the 'Crop focus' function by clicking with the right mouse button on a folder thumbnail and selecting next 'Set crop focus ...'.
More info in the skin user manual.

If check-mark 'Hide close button' is checked, the light-box can not be closed via the arrow-up key, by clicking in the background and also not via a swipe or pinch. It is recommended to clear check-mark 'Stop after the last slide' in that case.

If you click now somewhere on the background (so not on a text or combo-box) the viewing settings window, the viewing settings window will close.

New check-box on the Index page / Folders tab: 'Show comment as hint'.

Gallery type Justified Gallery uses now the same values for the Thumbnails border width, border color, space to border and radius as the other two gallery types.

Justified Gallery thumbnail caption shifted in case borders are used.

Masonry Gallery code improved, relative size is no longer supported and if 'Desired # Masonry gallery columns' is 0, the number of columns is automatically adapted for the used device. Both the horizontal and vertical gap between the boxes in a Masonry gallery is determined by the 'Thumbnails horizon margins', so you can make the 'Thumbnails horizon margins' 0, unless you like a larger vertical gap between the boxes. If the Masonry gallery has been selected, the setting of check-mark 'Compress panorama thumbnails' is ignored, panorama thumbnails are never compressed in this case.

Some bug fixes.

The 'Vertical position' on the 'Index page' / 'Theme image' tab refers now to the bottom of the folder / album title, if the value is > 50%.
This improves the display of a title near the bottom of a responsive theme image in albums with folders and variable theme heights.
It might be required to adapt the vertical position if you did use already a value > 50% in a previous version.
For values <= 50% the vertical position still refers to the top of the folder / album title.

Bug fix: after refresh of a local album with the title in the theme image, the title did sometimes disappear.

It is now possible to define the font size of the title in the theme image, not only in absolute pixel units, but also in relative ‰ units. The font size is in that case a ‰ of the view port width, so the title shrinks if the view port shrinks.

To avoid problems with very long album titles on small devices, the position value of the Title refers now to the top of the Title. .

If you update an album which displays the title in the theme image, you have to update the Font-size and the vertical position.

Some svg icons improved.

It is now possible to define the font size of the title in the theme image, not only in absolute pixel units, but also in relative ‰ units. The font size is in that case a ‰ of the view port width, so the title shrinks if the view port shrinks.

To avoid problems with very long album titles on small devices, the position value of the Title refers now to the top of the Title. .

If you update an album which displays the title in the theme image, you have to update the Font-size and the vertical position.

In this version the possibilities of the theme image has been extended and improved:

New layout of the Index page / Theme image tab where more properties of the album title in the theme image are defined on this tab, like the title font-size,
the title color and possibility to apply shadows in the title.

The algorithm of the position calculation both for the title has been improved. The position values of both the Title and the Theme button icon refers now to the middle of the Title and the Theme button icon.
If you update an existing album with this new version, it might be required to adapt the position and/or font-size values and/or the color settings.

New combo-box "Horizontal alignment:" added to position the title centered, left or right in the theme image.

Checking the new check-box "Move title above theme image if view-port width <" makes it now possible to prevent that the title in the theme image is unreadable in small view-ports. Notice that in that case the title font-size, the color and the shadow is defined on the General tab and on Index page /
General tab.

If you change the Font size in the Viewer settings window, the album title font size is no longer changed.

The close button in the Google Maps window is moved 50px lower on an iPhone in landscape mode.

The panorama navigation buttons are moved to the bottom on an iPhone in landscape mode.

The size of the text in Justified-Gallery thumbnails changes now too if the Font size in the Viewer settings window is changed.

Justified-Gallery version 3.8.1 is now used.

jquery-3.5.1 is now used.

There was a crash if in an album description a text '(...)' was in front of a link '[link text](link URL)'.

The wrong help file was displayed on an iPad

Bug fix:

Due to a problem introduced in the previous version 2.5.4 a theme image was sometimes only visible after a manual Refresh (F5).

Default Google font 'Quicksand' replaced by 'Roboto'.

If the theme image is not used as background image, it is now never displayed with a width larger as the natural width of the theme image.

New manual and some texts are changed.
More thumbnail parameters disabled if Justfied Gallery is used.

It is now possible to select thickness and type of Google fonts by adding parameters after ':' like 'Open Sans:300i' for Open Sanse type Light 300 Italic and 'Raleway:100' for Raleway type Thin 100.

If '</' is detected in a description, the whole description is seen as html code so no <br> codes are inserted.

The spherical panorama images in a 'panslides' directory were not used, this has been corrected in this version.

It is now possible to define the font-size of descriptions below the thumbnails on the index page.

The thumbnail in a folder tile was deformed if the folder width was undefined.

Problem with thumbnail in a folder tile solved for gallery with table tags.

The folder thumbnail margin is no longer controlled by the 'Thumbnails horizontal margins' field on the Index page / Thumbnails tab, but by the new field 'Folder thumbnails horizontal margins' on the Index page / Folders tab.
This does not work for table with DIV or TABLE tags if folder box width is >0 and folder box height = 0. So if you re-make an existing album with folders, do check whether you have to adapt the folder tile parameters!

GPS location of a video can now be displayed if GPS tool "Tool to get GPS link from video with GPS metadata" (see http://jalbum.net/forum/thread.jspa?threadID=54566&tstart=0) is used.
If the video contains no GPS information, you can add the location manually via this tool: open the Google Earth program, select in the Google Earth preferences for the Latitude/Longitude display format 'Decimal degrees' if that is not done earlier and set a way-point on the location where the video is recorded. Copy the values via the clipboard and enter the values in the Latitude and Longitude fields of the GPS tool, but the GPS tool requires that you add a + sign for positive values and only 4 of the 6 decimals are processed by the GPS tool. After you added GPS data to videos via this tool, it is best to close jAlbum and open it again before you open the edit window of a video or image otherwise is the image not visible in the edit window.
You can also use my modified version of this tool(http://jalbum.net/forum/message.jspa?messageID=334709#334709) in which case it is not required to add + signs in manual data, 6 instead of 4 decimals are processed and you can open an edit window immediately without closing jAlbum first.

If the album shows no theme image, the Facebook share function shows now another photo.
