Is there a simple way for me to upload the album to my C: drive rather than to a webpage?

TIA, Bill

When you make the album, it's already on your C: drive. There's no need to "upload" it anywhere. You can move the output anywhere you like, in Windows File Explorer.

But remember that if you're using one of the JSON-based skins, like Tiger, the album must be viewed from a server. That server can be on a web host, or it can be the jAlbum internal server (used for previews), or you can run server software on your PC. But you can't view such an album by double-clicking the index.html file on your C: drive, for some weird security reasons.

Found it, thanks! One other simple question . . . after I post the web page, is Java required by the individual viewing the album?

BTW, it should be obvious that I am a newbie, I just downloaded the program about an hour ago. Amazingly, I have a rough album working already using the Saturn skin!

No. The application is written in Java, but the albums are ordinary HTML/CSS/Javascript, viewable in any browser.

In fact, since Java is bundled with the application, you don't even need to install Java on your own computer to run the program.

A very wise choice of a skin, one obviously developed by a genius. ;)

Don't miss the user's manual - on any of the Saturn settings panels, click the little question mark icon on the upper right. I try to keep the labels self-explanatory, but....
