jAlbum 36.
On webloc created from a few URLs (drag-and-drop location from the FireFox on to jAlbum) I am getting Java exception when trying make an album:

I am trying create webloc files automatically from Windows URL shortcuts using groovy scrip and setting associated image using:

ao.getProperties().putHidden( "imageURI", se.datadosen.util.IO.urlEncode(imagefilename));

I found out that if for each URL in question I go into jAlbum and manually "Edit" on a new created webloc, click "Update" button next to the "image URL" text box, and wait for update complete I can make album without any issue and all references work fine.

Is there any way I can force this behavior from the groovy script?

Sorry for not posting code. Will try do better next time

     case "jalbum.imageurl":
             //window.messageBox( ao.getClass().getSimpleName() + ", imageURI: " + val );
             props.putHidden( "imageURI", se.datadosen.util.IO.urlEncode(val));
             props.save();
             break;

Yes, I do. Apart from the image I am also setting user variables, keywords, some other properties and then save them all at once.

Also, I can confirm image file is set to an webloc object because when open "Edit" I see a new image name in the "image URI" text box and it stay there after jAlbum restart.

There is at least one scenario I was able consistently reproduce. I found sometimes for URLs in question corresponding image in the ".jalbum\cache" may have zero length, even though "imageURI" hidden property set to a valid local file. Once this happen album will consistently fail to make.

Once I delete zero sized file I can make album with no errors and "cache" will get a new file with a proper size.

At the moment, as a workaround, I am thinking to clear all zero length files from the external command.
