Error loading Zigzag skin
Posted: 21 Feb 26, 22:48

Since I've installed the 39.2 version of JAlbum I get an error with the Zigzag skin:
I'm not a programmer so the code is abacadabra to me...
Anyone with a solution to this problem?

Jan

Stack trace for jAlbum 39.2.2 using skin Zigzag 2.4:

Just did a quick test, same jAlbum and Zigzag versions, and got no errors.

First, try reinstalling the skin. Then shut down jAlbum and launch it again.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply...

Have reinstalled the skin, shut down jAlbum and launched it again... same error I'm afraid...
I then tried all the other installed skins that I have, and I have most of them, and they ALL work without any problem.
Furthermore, I created a new project with new photo's, selected the Zigzag skin and immediately got the same error after selecting the skin...
It's unfortunately therefor, as I really like the skin, currently of no use to me

So, you're getting that error as soon as you load the skin? It's not happening later, when you try to make an album?

Very mysterious. Zigzag is one of the only remaining skins that has an interpreted UI, rather than a compiled one, but it's a fairly simple little beast, so that shouldn't be causing problems.

What OS are you using? And have you installed a version of jAlbum that has Java bundled with it, or are have you installed Java yourself, and just pointed jAlbum to it?

Hunting for a way to reproduce the error.... Open your config directory - Tools > Open Directories > Config directory - and attach your default.jap file to a post here. Maybe there's some initial condition that's throwing it for a loop.

HI Jeff,

Once again thanks for the (fast) reply...
Problem was resolved after I had completely removed and reinstalled the latest version of the jAlbum software (39.2.2).
After adding the Zigzag skin, it now works again without any problem

Greetings from The Netherlands... have a nice weekend...

Strange, that a faulty core installation would affect only one skin. But I never argue with success!
