Theme image not generated

Another strange case. In the attached project, there are four images and an alphabetic view. A representing image has been attached to the alphabetic view (though it's not showing in Explore, but that's a separate issue). The skin has been told to use folder-specific theme images, and to show them on the view pages.

In the resulting album, the top level has a theme image, Alphabetically does not, but the A and B subfolders do.

Removing the RI from the view returns the behavior to normal, and there are theme images at every level, as expected.

That's the final album, not the project

Put this one on the back burner for now. At present, it doesn't matter.

Laza "rolls his own," generating his own theme images, so the bug doesn't affect his skins.

My current skin releases don't use view-specific theme images at all. The user can choose between using the top-level album theme image, or having just plain banners on the view pages. So the bug doesn't affect my skins, either. Tough to test in my skins now, too, since they "clean up" unused theme images (in postdir.groovy).

We can come back to it if, in some future jAlbum version, the users are given more direct control over view page theme images.

This project seems to behave in 38.2, doesn't it? It shows the ABC theme image for the view, both in the Explorer interface and in the final gallery.

No, it's still broken, but the current version of Neptune doesn't use the view theme images (it uses the project's top-level TI or none at all), so you can't see the effect.

Load this project, delete the local album, but then, before you make the album, edit postdir.groovy and comment out line 33, which deletes the unused theme image.

Now make the album, and look at the output. You'll see ja-theme.jpg at every level except the top of Alphabetically.

The error occurs only when the view has a representing image attached to it. Without that, you get a theme image at every level, as expected.
