Chromium crashes in jAlbum 36.0 on macOS 10.14
Posted: 3 Nov 24, 18:56

The jAlbum Browser does not seem to work in version 36.png (51.6 KB)

I was curious to see how jAlbum would handle adding Chromium in version 36 with macOS 10.14 since Chrome dropped support for it and 10.13 in 2023 with version 117. The answer is that it will not run and crashes. As mentioned in a previous thread, the jAlbum version marked for 10.14 Mojave will crash on launch, so this is in the version marked for 10.13 High Sierra with Java 14.

I know you can just set the Preview Type to External browser in Preferences, and not deal with it, but so you know.

There is Chromium-legacy for running the up-to-date version on previous versions of macOS that are no longer supported, starting with 10.14.

Here’s the basic crash info I got in User Reports for Chromium-

Thanks for this report. I'm aware that the most recent version of the Chromium engine requires more recent Mac OS versions, but missed this. I'll likely remove Chromium from the "java-14" version of jAlbum then.

...and I can confirm the preview type crashes in any type (Integrated/Windowed/External Browser) in Mac OS 12.7.6 also. It eventually (after a few minutes of a blank screen) comes back but the same thing happens after clicking any aspect of the site...another blank screen for a few minutes. This issue seems to have only come about after the J'album 36 update. Upon an upload, the same issue is present. Attempting to go back pre-version 36.

When it comes to using an external browser, that's kind of "not possible." Remember, when you're previewing an album in an external browser, jAlbum isn't really involved in the process. The pages are simply being presented to your default browser. There's no "Java," and no bundled "Chromium." The pages are just HTML/CSS/Javascript, viewable in any regular browser. This should work on any PC or Mac that has a current browser (Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).

Just make sure that you're telling jAlbum to use its embedded server, because JSON-driven albums using skins like Tiger can't be viewed directly from the hard drive.
