Neptune: topinfo question
Posted: 14 Apr 21, 03:12
 
After updating one of my site's sections I have "lost" the topinfo. I've probably done something wrong but can't figure it out. I used a topinfo.txt file in each of the folders. I haven't updated this section in over a year so wondered if something has changed. Checked release notes but didn't see anything so I'm stumped.

OLD was built with jAlbum 20.0.4 with Neptune 32, Custom style - click on any folder to view topinfo

NEW was built with jAlbum 23.2.4 with Neptune 52, Custom style - topinfo is missing. The topinfo.txt file is still in the source folder.

I hope that this is still a feature of Neptune and, if so, there is a simple fix. Thanks.

Solved ... user error. No longer need the .txt file but insert it at "Folder Info Text". Can't believe I missed the obvious. Is it possible to port the .txt files or will each one have to be edited manually?

I had to look back at my release notes to remember when I had changed that - it was in v. 36, about a year ago.

I didn't build in a way to port the old text files into the new format. I assumed that no one would have a huge number of them, so doing some quick copy-and-paste maneuvers would be easier than developing a tool to handle the transition.

Oh, I tell a lie - I did write a tool to do the conversion. Get it here:
