Description
The PhotoSwipe skin combines the PhotoSwipe-5 Lightbox with the popular Justified-Gallery type of grid (images maintain their aspect ratio, and are resized to have the same height, it is also used by Flickr). See https://photoswipe.com/v5/docs/getting-started/ and http://miromannino.github.io/Justified-Gallery/ .
It is also possible to select a masonry layout for the thumbnails in the gallery. The skin contains many options to which allows you with possible extra files in the output directory to adapt it to your needs.
The PhotoSwipe skin has the same index page as the FancyBox skin, but the Slide page is replaced by the PhotoSwipe JavaScript gallery developed by Dmitry Semenov, see http://photoswipe.com/
Like the Slide Show 4 skin , the LightGallery skin and the FancyBox skin, it is a small single page html5 compliant skin which gives maximum attention to your photos, because it will fill your screen with your photo, by adapting the image size to the screen size of your tablet or computer. The focus is not lead away by other small pictures or text (except the optional image captions).
There are several options to create the theme image and the album title may be displayed at any place in the theme image or above the theme image.
It is also possible to put the album description and / or the link-buttons and / or the audio controller with or without the music name in a theme image.
There are three types of background theme images: a fixed and a non fixed background image and a full screen background theme image with a parallax effect.
You van add your own code via inc-files and by inserting html and/or css code on the 'custom code' page.
You can use the *freefind* search engine to serach in a tree of albums.
Navigation and control is possible via buttons, via the keyboard on a PC and via one finger swipes on the iPhone or iPad and other touch screen devices. The buttons at the top of the index page are optional and can be hidden or displayed by clicking the theme image or the album title.
Navigation on the slide page: Swipe left / right to the next or previous image, spread to zoom in, swipe up or down to close the slide page and return to the index page.
The skin has a responsive layout of the thumbnails gallery: it make an elegant image gallery with the Justified Gallery library. A Justified Image Grid respects the original aspect ratio, no detail is lost due to cropping. It is also possible to display the thumbnails in a grid without the use of the Justified-Gallery.
The height of the thumbnails can be selected as a % of the screen height.
Some settings can be changed by the viewer like the button size and the font size, which is is useful for small devices like an iPhone and in case you have troubles reading small letters. It is also possible to change here the viewing time for a slide in the optional slide show presentation and the viewer can decide to show the Slide image always in full-screen mode The slide show can be started from the slide page, from the index page and fully automatically, where the index page is skipped.
This skin can handle large image descriptions on the slide page: the description can be displayed below the image with a 'more info' text-link which displays a longer description below the image or in a new modal window. It is also possible to display long descriptions in a side panel right of the image or below the images if there is more space.
You can use plain text or html code both in the album description and in the slide descriptions.
Via 7 optional links on the index page, displayed as standard text buttons, as icon buttons, in a tool-bar or in the menu-bar at the top of the index page, you can add links to other albums or web-pages in a new window or in the same window. You can also display a web-page in a frame on the index page.
The optional responsive menu-bar can be replaced by a Hamburger button on small devices.
Optional Facebook.Twitter, Pinterest, WhatsApp and email 'Share' button on the index and slide page and each slide has an optional 'Download' link.
An album may contain a mix of photos and movies.
jAlbums web-locations are supported:
You can make a top album of albums or display the web-location in the slide page.
It is also used to show YouTube or Vimeo videos. Videos can be started automatically (if supported by the browser).
If GPS information is available in a photo, the location can be displayed in Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.
Use my program MakeMap to display the photos in a Google Maps or Google Earth map or OpenStreetMap with links to the slide pages.
If the album contains wide (panorama-) pictures, an expand icon is added to the tool-bar on the slide page, if check-mark 'Spherical Panoramic image' or 'Cylindrical Panoramic image' in the Panoramic image panel for an image has been set. For a 360° cylindrical panorama, you should set also set check-mark '360° panorama', in that case you can endless scroll through the panorama. If you set the 'Spherical Panoramic image' check-mark, the panorama can be viewed in Jérémys Photo Sphere Viewer.

5.4.0 May 7, 2023
Three check-boxes added to the Theme image tab, to make it possible to display the album description and / or the link-buttons and / or the audio controller in all types of Theme images. These check boxes do overrule the "Show these links and the album description above the thumbnails" on the Links tab and "Show audio player above the thumbnails" on the Music tab. Also added next to these check-boxes a font-color selector for the album description and a Spinner for the vertical position in the Theme image.
New check-box 'Parallax theme image' added to the Theme image tab.
There are now 3 types of background theme images:
If 'Parallax theme image' is set, a full page theme image is used. If you scroll-up, the theme image and the thumbnails scroll up at different speeds.
If 'Fixed theme image' is set, the theme image is fixed to the top of the window. If you scroll-up, the theme image stay fixed and and the thumbnails scroll over the theme image.

The current location is now displayed as a blue circle in a Google Maps map on a mobile device if check-box 'Show current location in Google Maps on mobile devices' on the 'Map' tab has been checked.
Note that the geographic location of a user will only display if he or she has allowed location sharing, so for example: if you use the Safari browser on an iPhone, you should open 'Settings' and select the 'Privacy and security' and next the 'Location Services' and check that for 'Safari-sites' check-mark 'When using app' is checked.
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. On the bottom you see a 'Center' button, which can be used to center the current location in the map.
Bug fixes:
If the left footer was empty, the default link goes now to the PhotoSwipe install page and not to the FancyBox page.

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 text of check-box "Use left-aligned text (recommended for HTML editor)" has been changed into "Use left-aligned text (recommended for side panel and HTML editor)". This determines now also the alignment of text in a side-panel.
New version of the libraries: PhotoSwipe vs 3.5.2 and photoswipe-dynamic-caption-plugin-main vs 1.2.7
Audio control css code added, which makes the control smaller.
Bug fixes:

5.2.5 May 3, 2022
Version 4 of the Spherical Panorama Viewer library is now 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.
5.2.3 Apr 17, 2022
All PhotoSwipe module code is removed from the init.html file and set in an initGallery.js file in the res directory, so projects with folders are now smaller.

Clicking on a video on a mobile device does no longer stop a slide show.
A slide show is automatically stopped if a weblocation is loaded.

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.
5.1.2 Oct 23, 2021
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 'Enable slide show' is checked, clicking/tapping the image will stop/start the slide show.

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.

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.
