I created an album of my Astro images. The problem is I do not know how to access the album for including in an html file. Is there a single file I can access?

Only program I use to make my website photos. I create them and review them then upload to my website.
Happy to hear that Michael! Thanks for your review!
If anything, there may be TOO much flexibility! I had to spend some time going through all the album/skin settings, reviewing the help documentation, to begin to understand all the features.
We're glad you made it through:-) Thanks Jefferey!
PS. Do use the search bar in order to find the setting you need. Just type what you're looking for.
While slide maps displayed fine, the folder map did not. The issue was tracked down to a Mac file being "ingested" by jAlbum and gumming up the works. (technical terms). Kudos to Laza.
Good that we could sort it out. Thanks for your review Tony!
I purchased jAlbum years ago and put pictures on your on-line server. It constantly rejected my renewal for two weeks or more. You were unable to resolve the problem until recently but I wasn't notified it was resolved. I tried again and my credit card was accepted.
Sorry to hear about that experience. Were you in contact directly with us (support@jalbum.net) or our payment partner Fastspring?
I started to use jAlbum a year ago for something slightly different from an Image Gallery: cataloging and compiling information about pieces of hardware in a collection. It takes a while to get behind the features and possibilities, but after that time it is almost 'addictive' to use, optimizing layouts and contend is fast because you can test-drive without uploading. Managing a large amount of album projects is easy with the grouping feature. There are some idiosyncrasies due to differences between how jAlbum treats files/folders compared to windows, but one can always ask support and an answer comes back in short time. The option to write 'external tools' is very powerful and the folks at jAlbum helped me with importing device specific information from IPTC tags. If you have access to someone with programming skills, possibilities are endless...
It is easy to get started and make a great web site and easy to get addicted to improve on it based on jAlbum's wide selection of features.
Thank you for taking the time to elaborate on what you like about jAlbum Wolf, really appreciated!

My needs are rather simple. I'm well pleased with jAlbum and happy with my outcomes!
Happy to hearing this. Thank you Ronald!
JAlbum is the very best web photo display application we have found. It's easy to use and very flexible with many templates, or skins as they are called for different formats.
Many thanks for your review Larry!
I've been using jAlbum for years to create photo albums of various sorts. Many are simply of the family type and chronicle events of the year including travel, holidays as well as other things of note. I have also used jAlbum as a tool on professional and business websites to add photo documentation to various projects.
After a little practice jalbum is easy to use. Has the best features.
But that nothing compared to their personal service.
Blushing here:-). Thank you Paul!
I've been using jAlbum for a couple of decades now, and it keeps getting easier to work with and more capable. Highly recommended.
The jAlbum software is one of the best, if not the best apps for photographers to display their photos on the internet. The personal touch & tech support is incredibly superb.
Blushing here:-) Thank you for your kind words GW!
I like the feature set and usually the album I end up with. But every time I start a new album I spend way way too much time trying to get the settings correct. I can't seem to figure out how to say "Make it like that previous album." And there are the updates that change everything, and there are a bazillion setting to dig through. It is very frustrating.
See File->Import->"Settings from published album" or File->"Import settings from project". You can also use File->"Save as default" to automatically get your desired defaults applied for future projects. You can even use defaults on a skin-by-skin basis using File->"Save as skin default".
To easily find your way through the many settings, use jAlbum's search bar (CTRL+SPACE). It takes you straight to the desired setting.
I hope this info removes your frustration and adds some stars to your review:-)

Happy to hear that and to having you around for such long time Roy. Thanks for your review!
Very nice product with a rather steep learning curve. One tends to forget some of the steps if not used often. It would help if there were an easier way to add a new folder and photos to an existing album.
Thanks for your feedback. How about dragging and dropping the new folder onto an open project? (CTRL+C and CTRL+V also works)
I've been using jAlbum for years. It is truly a premium product. I'd recommend this software for anyone who wants to display their images in an elegant interface. There are many styles and skins to choose from; most of which can be customized unto themself. The sky is pretty much the limit.
Indeed:-) Thank you Don!
I use the software for a family photo album. I've been very happy with the product and when I've needed support. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for your review!
Overall I have loved JAlbum for years. BUT I hate the green popups! Make them go away! Everything else gets better and faster, but these get in my way, over and over and over and over and over and slow me down, and take away a disproportionate amount of the happiness.
Thanks for your feedback. All those speech bubbles but one go away after having been shown once. The remaining one hints about jAlbum's search bar. Use it ONCE and you'll never be pestered with that hint again. This behaviour is intentional as the search bar is an immensely helpful part of jAlbum. It locates any setting or project for you. Type "font" for instance, then click the menu alternatives to be taken to a font setting.
Great interface and super easy to use. While I don't use all of the functionality, there is a lot that you can do with the application.
Indeed:-) Thank you Steve!
I've been using JAlbum for the past 6-7 years and it's keep getting better all the time. While I don't change skins very often I do appreciate the number of skins available. I post pictures of the events we have with our Corvette Club during the year and post it off our web site. Great application.
My project for my Hummingbird videos didn't show all the videos originally. I had to redo project several times. Eventually I deleted project and rebuilt it. It then posted all the videos.
Thanks for sharing. If you're ever able to reproduce this problem, let us know how and we'll do our best to resolve it once and for all.
Somewhat nice program but not very different from previous versions. Would not recommend to a freind.
Please write us at support@jalbum.net and explain what major changes you're missing. Without knowing that, we cannot fulfil your wishes.

Hi Larry. You have full access to all files jAlbum produces (Tools->Open directories->Output directory). We'd love to help you if you contact our support at support@jalbum.net or via our user forum at https://jalbum.net/forum. Simply giving us a 1-star rating won't help you and hurts our business.
