Originally, settings for album objects were saved in "fileVariables". A few years ago, this was replaced by "AlbumObject" and fileVariables is now deprecated although it is still supported. FileVariables is still used by BluPlusPlus.

Although jAlbum 15 did not change how it uses fileVariables, something is now broken. There was some discussion in http://jalbum.net/forum/thread.jspa?threadID=53338. We cannot produce this problem consistently, so it is difficult for David to diagnose it.

I am working on the next version of BPP. This uses AlbumObjects and it does not have the problem that you described. I hope to publish this in about 1 week.

The workaround is to use jAlbum 14.1. Download the zipped version and unzip it into a different folder (e.g. jalbum14 instead of jalbum).

Hello ctwist,
Sorry for my english langage because I am not expert in it.
In my PC I kept an archive of Jabum 14.10 so if I reinstall it in a diffferent directory of JALBUM 15 do you guarantee
there will not have a conflict between two JALBUM releases installed ?

I red your link information but this problem is old (2003)

So I am waiting for a quick bug fix in JALBUM 15 because I need it for my Internet sites.

I am waiting for your fix.

Best regards.

The link shows a thread from last month. I don't understand why you are seeing an older thread.

If you archived the version of 14.1 that includes an installer, don't install this; it will replace version 15.
Download the 14.1 zip file. This does not have an installer. Just unzip this and run it.
I have done this many times. I have about 10 versions of jAlbum installed. These don't conflict with each other. Just make sure that you don't run two versions of jAlbum at the same time.

Also make sure you're not using hard links in jAlbum 15. Making an album in jAlbum 15 that uses hard links, and then re-making it with jAlbum 14, could result in data loss in some situations.

Hello,
I don't use the hard links in my Jalbum albums.
I downloaded jAlbum for anything (Zip file for any Java enabled system) (35.8 MB) in page
https://jalbum.net/fr/software/download/previous/version/14.1

Is it good ?
My system is Windows 10 64 bits.
Best regards

Hello Jalbum Team,
I have no news about my BluPlusPlus problem with JALBUM 15 to fix it.

Please could you give me some news about the fix because for instant I use the workaround JALBUM 14
but I cannot use the JALBUM 15 that I bought and installed on all PCs.

Thank's in advance for your quick fix.

Best regards.

BluPlusPlus is not supported by the jAlbum team. It was an orphan skin - its developer hasn't been here in years. User ctwist volunteered to bring it back to life, but once again, something in the current version isn't working. I'm sure Chris will get to it sometime soon, but you shouldn't expect too much. These old, abandoned skins eventually become impossible to support.

I am still working on the upgrade. This includes other changes and there are bugs to be fixed.

BTW Check your calendar; it is Christmas time. I have had more important things to attend to.

BTW You paid for jAlbum, but BluPlusPlus is a free add-on that is not supported by the jAlbum team. I do not receive any money for my work on BluPlusPlus.

BTW A BluPlusPlus album that is generated in jAlbum 15 is currently identical to the same album that is generated in jAlbum 14. You do not lose any BluPlusPlus features by using jAlbum 14.

You will have to be patient.

On my PC, this problem only occurs if there are multiple threads.

In Tools / Preferences, change "Number of threads" to 1. Does this fix it?

Edited by: ctwist on 16-Jan-2018 17:28
Further tests showed that a similar error sometimes occurs if number of threads is 1. Sometimes fileVariables is null. I don't know why.

Hello Ctwist,
When I upgraded the JALBUM 14 to 15 the default value of In Tools / Preferences, change "Number of threads" was 11.
So I modified this JALBUM 15 parameter to 1 and I remade the test with JALBUM 15.
With this value1 the problem seems to be fixed.

As you said if sometime with parameter "Number of threads" value is set to 1 the same problem raise randomly,
it should be interesting to find why this problem randomly raises to fix it.

Please could you give me some news about it ?

How I will be warn when your new BluPlusPlus release is delivered ?

Thank's for your help.

Best regards.

Unless we can identify a test case that always produces the error, I don't think that David will investigate it.

For the last 2 weeks, I have been busy with some personal things (preparing to sell a house and buying a house), so I have not done much work on BPP. I still hope to publish a beta in the next few days.

When a vew version of BPP is released, I will post a message in the BPP forum. If you watch this forum (i.e. click "Watch Forum"), you will be notified automatically by email when a message is posted in the forum.

This bug seems to be fixed in jAlbum 15.2. I can't reproduce it, even with number of threads set to maximum.

Please re-test, and let me know if it is fixed.
