jAlbum will only show the JPEGs if you pass jAlbum a mix of JPEG and RAW files with the same base name. To see the RAW files, move the JPEGs aside or link-drag the RAW files onto jAlbum.
Thanks David, I wasn't aware of this. Cheers, Markus

David, just one stupid question from someone who never really worked with raw images. Since last year I do take JPG and RAW photos with my camera (Canon EOS R10). But in jAlbum I've never seen the RAW files?
Marcus, have a read of https://jalbum.net/help/en/JAlbum/Edit/RAW
Thanks Rob, that makes things clearer to me. Cheers, Markus

Notice the search now opens in a popup window.

It did that before as well, well it's actually a popup layer you can dismiss by clicking outside the search bar. What has changed in this version is that the search ba has got a fat rounded border.

David, please don't get me wrong, but writing "Better visual style for search bar" just for having rounded borders, that's nothing I would write into the news for an update. :-)

If you really want to improve the search bar:
  • Make the height of that popup just as high as the rest of the whole screen. Less scrolling is needed as a result.
  • Reduce the font size, so more text can be shown without scrolling.

Shouldn't be to hard to do that, I hope.

Thanks in advance. Cheers, Markus

Too late. I've already alerted the media.

Thanks for investigating this security behaviour Rob!
I repeated my tests today and this time the security setting made no difference, ffmpeg was not updated from the Intel 35.1 version of jAlbum to the version for M series. I had to manually delete ffmpeg and then jAlbum downloaded the correct version.

So, sorry but no clearer on the security feature.

I have noticed an error on double clicking a video, just appears once, subsequent opening of videos are ok. The error (red triangle) is
Mar 14, 2025 7:37:53 PM net.javainthebox.caraibe.svg.SVGContentBuilder eventLoop
INFO: Non Support Element: <title>
Mar 14, 2025 7:37:53 PM net.javainthebox.caraibe.svg.SVGContentBuilder eventLoop
INFO: Non Support Element: <title>

Could the red triangle only be shown for warnings and more serious errors? Getting it for an INFO level seems unnecessary.

Please have a look here. And this is my "tiny" screen. On the 4K monitor there's even more space available to make this popup more than four times higher, less or even no need to scroll the result list.

Thanks in advance. Cheers Markus

I get it, but there is no much use in having a huge list presented. Type a few more letters and the result set has limited itself to <20 items. NOW it's usable.

I respect your answer, but I don't agree with you at all. Just imagine I'm looking for a specific file and I'm just typing ".mp4" then I have to scroll 10 times or more. No, now it is not usable. And because if this I haven't used the search so far. It makes sense in a sample project, but not in real world projects.

If I'm looking for a specific file I use "Everything" (on Windows) which finds files really fast and very convenient.

But I'm still confident that the search bar will improve in the future. :-)

Cheers, Markus

If I try to import a user variable from a csv file the variable name is taken from the column name (D, E etc.) and the value is imported. So, in the user variable pane I get Name=D, Value=TRUE.

Example CSV attached.

Yes, wasn't that expected behaviour?

@Markus, I've now adjusted b4 so it uses your full screen height for the popup menu of the Search Bar. To try it, replace lib/jalbum-core.jar with this one: https://jalbum.net/download/beta/jalbum-core.jar
