I'll add a warning dialogue that also offers to convert the link to a copy.
It's not hard to edit copies already though:
  • Add the page using the "Add" button like before
  • Right click the page and select "Convert link to copy"
  • Right click the copy and select "Edit"

I've now packaged a new beta of jAlbum 20.2. This beta now also includes a new cool feature: "Group by calendar". This function allows you to point out an .ics/.ical calendar file that jAlbum will use to match your album objects to. This is great for anyone who keeps track of their whereabouts using a calendar and quickly wish to group images based on calendar items. It's also great for photo schools that have recurring weekly subjects they wish to map photos to. "Group by Calendar" can also tag your images based on matching events. It finally also handles nested events, which results in nested folder structures.

This version adds a warning dialogue when attempting to edit a skin file via a link. It also allows skins to update copies of template files, but stores backup copies next to the updated template files (Laza stresses just how many issues we have with users moving from Turtle to Tiger and receiving errors due to stale template files).

Installers:
Windows: http://jalbum.net/download/jAlbum-install.exe
Mac: http://jalbum.net/download/jAlbum.dmg
Any system: http://jalbum.net/download/jAlbum.zip

In the language file to translate it says .ics files. Which is it?

It should actually support both formats, but I've only been testing with .ics files.

Maybe the text should be just Select calendar file, without getting specific about the file extension. Can it also handle .ifb and .icalendar? I believe the file formats are all the same, and those four extensions pretty much cover the waterfront.

Tried it with a file exported from BusyCal, using the .ics file extension and it works well, with the name of the event being added to the keyword field.

Whilst trying this feature out I have been doing an Organise by calendar followed by a Flatten. Occasionally, on flattening, I get an error like

I don't know about "ifb", but "ical" should work. Is "icalendar" perhaps a synonym for "ical"? Can you test with an ".icalendar" file?

Sorry, but I don't have any such files. I just Googled for "calendar file extensions," and those four are listed, with information that they're all just simple text files. Looks like they're all the same, with only subtle variations (like an .ifb file, which makes some distinction between free and busy time).

Ok, I've added those 4 to the file filtering.

Thanks for reporting. I think I've nailed that one now: http://jalbum.net/download/beta/jalbum-core.jar

It will probably have to be "fix on fail" - wait for a user to try the one that sounds like it might be the "odd man out," the .ifb file, and then see what happens.
