Albums Moved to External Drive

I have read some of the threads about external drives but am not entirely clear. To free up some storage space on my internal drive, I moved my albums to an external drive. I think I now want to move these albums back to my internal drive, because I suspect jAlbum works best with albums in that location. So I did a test and copied (outside of jAlbum) one album back into the internal folder, but I don't see any way to access it from within jAlbum.It certainly doesn't show up in the sidebar where the projects are, and quitting and restarting the program didn't help either.

The project list on the left side is just a "most recent projects" list. It doesn't search your hard drive for all existing projects. Just choose File, Open and navigate to the project.

You can use Menu > File > Project Gallery or CMD/CNTL + G and then set the Location to 'My albums'.

When I click to open the project after navigating to it, it doesn't open the project - it just keeps opening more Finder windows.

You have to select the .jap file, then open it

Another way to open a project, no matter where it's located, is to drop the project folder onto jAlbum.
