This error message appears when creating a selected project using the batch tool.

I think this is an example of a classic problem. Installing jAlbum 38 has also given you a new version of Animatics. But the project was created with an older version of Animatics, which didn't have the new variable, HiDpiThemeImage.

If you try to build the album using the multi-maker or the command line, the variable is missing, because the project has never been opened and saved with the new version of Animatics.

Before using the multi-maker, in cases like this, it is necessary to open each project in Explore, and save it. No need to do anything more - just a quick open, save, close will do the trick. Now you can safely feed that project to the multi-maker.

Hi Jeff

Thank you for the description. The method you described works.

I believe this bug has to be fixed in jAlbum. At least those variables defined in SkinModel should be loaded. A skin has no way of fixing this.

I think I just found the cause of this crash. The SkinModel.java file in Animatics doesn't include the variable HiDpiThemeImage. So, the MultiMaker and command line routine crash.
