I'm pretty stoked about this addition.
You know me - often a bit skeptical about what might turn out to be bloatware. But I think this one is a winner. It seems to be very solid, it's very fast, and I think users will find it handy, both as a way to grab their mobile photos, and as a way to check how their albums will look on mobiles before they upload the suckers. 
Make room for this delivery:

There seems to be a missing text string in the v. 31 beta - see screenshot. And what is this new option, exactly?

I missed removing that one. Now fixed in the beta core file.
Thanks for your humor and encouragement!I It feels good I'm not the only one that believes in this |

Just doing some more testing and found a bit of a bug.
If you turn off use embedded web server and then make album, shift click on the local preview icon and you get a QR code that decodes to file:/Users/...
Attached QR code

And shift clicking the menu's 'Album > Preview'

QR code part two.
Collaborative albums, the QR code generates an email with the 'to' field set to robm@jalbum.net and the from field my email address.
The email option has that address in the 'reply to' field. My mail client has to, reply to and from fields.
My Android (Gmail) does not offer a 'reply to field', just to and from.

Do you simply want the email invite to use to and from instead of reply-to?
We plan to replace the email invite by a web page that allows people to contribute to a gallery without using any email client. |

Good idea. People use all sorts of apps to deal with their email, including just web pages, so an automated system directed at the email "client" is bound to fail frequently. |

I think it would make sense to drop the 'reply to' field. Putting the 'jAlbum' email in the body of the text makes more sense to me. |

I can see how that would fail, but in that situation, what link should it provide? Remember, this album hasn't been uploaded anywhere yet.
Maybe it should just skip the QR routine entirely if the embedded server isn't being invoked - in short, just treat it like a regular "preview" click. |

Beta core updated. I'm now showing an error message if the user shift-clicks on the preview button when the embedded web server isn't running. The "QR preview" button of the embedded browser now goes disabled for file URLs.

If the web server is off AND there is no entry in the 'Local server URL' field then a QR code should only be present for the uploaded album. If an uploaded album doesn't exist the eyeglass icon for previewing is disabled, so no chance of a QR code being shown.
I haven't tried it, but I'm assuming that if the the local server URL has been populated then the QR code would work. |

I get the popup alert, no proper text file, that is to come.
Now, what to do with the 'Tools > Share > Share album > Start web server ?
That runs at http://localhost:5001/
Tis a can of worms  |
