How did you add the Newimages template?
albumfiles.txt contains
Info.htt 1636355113
Vortraege.htt 1624464469
Impressum.htt 1636303160
-Contact.htt 1636355113
-BG-Top-1350.jpg 1641569120 1591006336
NewImages.htt C:\Users\Master\AppData\Roaming\JAlbum\skins\Tiger\templates\Newimages.htt 1642775414
The skin’s own templates should have $SKIN_TEMPLATES_DIR instead of the path to the templates folder.

I don't know, I started to use jAlbum more than one year before. How can I set it to the right way?

In the Explore window, just delete Newimages.htt, and add it again. You'll have to reset the options - double-click on the newly-added version of the template.

Laza, the jAlbum core needs to be able to fix this problem in a programmatic way, so that if a user has entered his own information for one of the template files, particularly something like About.htt or Contact.htt, he's not faced with either manually editing albumfiles.txt, or deleting and re-adding the template, which causes him to lose his entries. You need to have a chat with David.

Thank you for the detailed instruction.
I deleted the old one, loaded a new template and double clicked to open it. I could not detect a reset, only that I had to type everything in again with the new template. But in the end everything is as before, no titles and I can't open the images - neither in the local preview nor online.

Try making a simple project f a couple of folders with a few small images and the template. If that doesn’t work zip it and post it here, or if too large provide a link.

Just tried that, and it works fine. So, something deeper happening here. We'll have to leave this one to Laza, I'm afraid.  |

I guess some of the database files got broken. If one of the data1.json files has an error, the skin cannot go through all the folders and drops this error.

Can you please upload an album that exhibits this error, with Settings / Tiger / Advanced / Debug mode = ON?

I "make album" with debugmode=on and published it. It's online now.
Good luck.

This is really odd.
The images in the album are all JPG's, meanwhile in the NewImages.html they are referenced as PNG's in the database link.
data-path="Bienen/Hylaeus/Hyaleus-angustatus_m_12-06-23.png"><a class="thumb" ...><img src="Bienen/Hylaeus/thumbs/Hyaleus-angustatus_m_12-06-23.jpg"
I tried adding a PNG file to my test album to check why this happens, but PNG's are properly referenced as PNG's even for the thumbnails.
Either jAlbum does something weird in ao.getPathFromRoot() - i.e. it returns a non-existent file reference, or perhaps somehow the page code got changed after the album generation. |

I have a folder structure with original photos in PNG format, from there jAlbum load the images. So far I understand jAlbum convert this images to JPG for web use. Finally only JPG images are uploaded. It looks like finally the wrong format names are used.
I have two folders - "Fotos" for source and "jAlbum\Wildbienen Galerie\" for output all Album files.
Should I send you my whole project, the two folders? If yes, I could send it to you per email based file transfer.

Do you have the Settings / Images / Advanced / Force JPEG thumbnails or Force JPEG images turned on? It seems jAlbum referring to these images in a mixed way: sometimes with JPG other times with PNG extension. I don't know if I can fix this from the skin or if is this something to be fixed in jAlbum. Anyway, turning off these options will fix this bug.

Right, it "works" if I disable force JPG. Looks like we almost caught the bug. 
But I get PNG and not JPG anymore. Also wrong files are shown. I set a limit of 100 days but get images shown from last year.
It it a bug of the jAlbum core code? Should I report it again at an other section of the forum or do you talk with the core team? |

It's not really a bug. Probably jAlbum needs the function this way when it processes the input folder. It's a drag that skins cannot use the same function during the Make album, as it returns an invalid file path in the output folder. I will try to circumvent this in the skin.
