Amazing it worked at all as I haven't tested with other structures yet.

See my edit, above. It doesn't work, for anything other than Mirror. Not surprised. ;)

I just tried something fairly obvious. I created a linked copy in a folder. Then I deleted the original from the project, expecting the linked copy to vanish, as well, sort of like a symlink. It didn't - it just replaced the linked copy with a "red X" object. The album build was OK, however.

I just tried the 'Show in file system' contextual menu, I get a hang with both the original and the linked version (in black and white folder). One just hangs the other hangs but shows a red triangle, no error message when logginging set to fine, no thread dump either.

That one doesn't give me any errors. I'm on b11, FWIW.

That could be a totally unrelated problem. See if restarting the computer and re-issuing "Show in file system" works now.

Turned it off completely, restarted and still getting the hang, red triangle is with a linked object.
jAlbum 38B11, M2 chip MacOS 15.6.1 (24G90).

The file is shown in the OS file system but the contextual menu is left open, see attached

Removed the project containing the heic image and the error on startup goes away.

Reinstalled the beta, performed core update and this error has gone.

Finally had to retreat to jAlbum 38b1. The latest couple of core betas made further skin testing impossible.

With jAlbum 38b11, add an image to a project with Minimal. Tag it as "use original." Add a GIF to the project. Now make the album. Neither slide page is functional. Images aren't where they claim to be, control bars are mangled, etc.

This still fails the test I proposed above. Add a JPG, and using the context menu, tag it as "use original." Add an animated GIF. Make a Minimal album. Neither one works.

It works properly if you go to Images > General and include only originals.

(In case you've forgotten, I finally managed to browbeat you into always treating GIF's as originals, because the only reason anyone uses them is for the animation. Make a PNG or JPG thumbnail, but use the original as the slide image. My skins used to force that, but I was happy to be able to strip it out of all of them.)

B12. If I open a project that requires a skin not present and then click no to 'Do you want to get it?' the project files are not visible in explore view. On the older versions they are.

Still getting a hang when selecting show in OS. I removed the config folder, shut down Mac, restarted and opened the 'Same image multiple folders'. Once jAlbum had finished downloading ffmpeg I selected an image and repeated the 'Show in OS' and got the hang.

Not sure what is causing to hang on my machine and not others, no virus software to blame.

When I create a linked file from the same source again, jAlbum warns me of the duplicate, and when I choose "Replace", it retains both the old and the new one.

I have had a few quirks with b11, which seems to get fixed with b12, fortunately.
