Album fails to load and jAlbum Freezes!

Just one of my Albums (LEGSv3) freezes jAlbum when I select it from the Recent Projects List. (See screenshoot)

Nothing works and I have to End Task (Ctrl Alt Delete) to get out.

If selected first, the other albums work okay and most of them are TIGER.

I don't know if this is a SKIN problem, jAlbum or something wrong with one of my settings or files in that Album. The other Tiger Albums are similar to LEGSv3, but have different colour schemes.

I have tried a clean reinstall by deleting all traces of previous versions, as described in a forum post.

I can only think of reconstructing the whole LEGV3, bit by bit, to see if there is something weird in one of the Album's folders.

Any thoughts, please?

That's not a skin problem, I guess. Before giving up, try to replace the skin (to Plain) in the jalbum-settings.jap file to see if that fixes it. If not, you can still exclude objects in the .jalbum/albumfiles.txt file by adding a minus sign before their names. (You might need to enable "Show hidden files and folders" on the Explorer's "Options / View" panel.)

Yes, I dithered about whether it was a Skin problem.

Without doing the above, it mysteriously started working without freezing with the problematic LEGS Album. BTW - It is the largest Album I have by far, compared to the others, which might have been a factor causing it to freeze.

Just out of interest, I screenshot the Task Manager whilst it froze and it shows a very high memory use! The black part above the Task Manager is the frozen jAlbum Interface! (see attachment)

I'll close this post down as Completed and hope that it doesn't occur again!

BTW I'm using a very new Windows 11 PC.
