Juicebox v1.5.1 Released!
Search options
I will redo the 2 galleries with the %20 filenames. The locked directories happened on hung edits of a gallery which I aborted the program since it would not complete. Would that leave them locked?
I'll report back when I recreate those 2 galleries, having renamed the files to be without the %20
Well, without large amount of permutations, it seems that renaming the 2 images in the first gallery to delete the %20 in the name, I am now allowed to edit and save in the same directory tree that gallery. And the files are not locked.
Now I need to figure out how to delete the trees that are locked from the previous times!
Did so after a PC reboot.
OK, it's been a couple of years since the Zoom topic was discussed...
How about adding a Zoom or Magnify feature to the Gallery?
Ok, figuring this out a bit more....
In this gallery (written on the first create):
http://www.phs1968.com/Postcards-Ebay/E … ex.html#14
Image 15 is:
sourcePath="C:\Users\Clark\Pictures\eBay pics\3-27-04%20(59).jpg">
and shows up blank.
If you choose it the spinning icon appears and nothing more.
I'm thinking the name of the file with the %20 in it gets thru when the gallery is created but when you reload it to edit it and then save it it hangs up there. The directories are locked during the write process perhaps? The only way out is to abort Juicebox leaving them locked.
Interesting it creates a gallery fine if it goes to an empty directory after editing ...
I discovered this after making a smaller gallery, 100 images, to zip up for you. It worked fine, being edited, so that made me investigate further. My first 2 Galleries had these % files, all showing up black...
I'm still finding it impossible to edit an existing gallery. I load the existing gallery and edit (enable) the Show Open Button, Change the Max Thumb Rows from 1 to 2, the Max Thumb Columns from 10 to 15.
I save it and the spinning circle stays on.
You say it only needs to save the XML file but it seems to try to save everything and access attributes don't allow that.
??
Perhaps you can replicate this. The gallery has 300
I can edit the config.xml file separately to enable the Show Open Button but I can't figure out how to change the other 2 parameters. I'd like to avoid the need to create the whole gallery from scratch, with rotations, etc...
Ok, figured it out using another gallery with those options:
showOpenButton="true"
maxThumbRows="2"
maxThumbColumns="15"
Note: The last 2 lines are not in the file if the default is used, 1 and 10
BMP files.
In making many galleries from my collection of images, I just now noticed that BMP files are not supported.
???
For some reason the image collections are maintaining individual image rotations done previously with Windows(10) File Explorer. Sometimes not. I don't know why, I don't use any fancy image editing software...
You know about this, rotating an image twice does that plus the image becomes the mirror image.
Rotate once or 3 times works fine.
When Publishing a gallery, the Save button is circled in blue. When the blue disappears it is finished publishing?
How about something more certain that something is happening?
How about a pop-up reporting finished successfully or some such?
What happens if it bombs in the process, is there any feedback?
Rotation glitch....
I have a postcard I scanned the writing upside-down. I want to rotate it twice, of 180 degrees. What do I get, 180 degrees and the mirror image! I've noticed this in my galleries and overlooked it till now. It doesn't happen consistently.
BTW. Now I find that sometimes Juicebox does maintain the rotation done using Windows File Explorer. ???

Back to the Editing issues.
Since Juicebox won't maintain the rotation that has been adjusted using the File Explorer, how about in the Images section of Gallery Creation that once you choose an image to edit (Title, Caption, URL fields) there are options to rotate counter-clockwise or delete the image.
How about once you choose the image from the thumbnails above, a clockwise rotation option is added. AND by pressing the L or R key you can rotate Left (CC) or Right (Clockwise). Much quicker than aiming the mouse and clicking.

I think the inability to rename or delete are due to auto-backup programs that copy files to USB drives. I should check to see if I can have this done in the wee hours of the morning. My PC runs 24/7. I am getting file not found messages from the backup utility, probably due to my forcing deletion of files.
It appears some of my issues are due to cache images and files. I deleted them and my buttons are what I want now. I don't know why refreshing my browser on a page doesn't clear this up, however.
However there are still issues with the gallery files Juicebox creates on my PC. The directories are Read Only and I cannot change that and must delete files from the lower levels up, sometimes stuck with the rood directory that I cannot delete.
If I try to rename the gallery top directory I am not allowed as some lower level file is open in another application.
I'm trying to figure this out!!

The postcard galleries I am working on are the 4 Judy R. ones at this website.

Add a rotate clockwise icon when editing images in a gallery.
Or do it by right-click on the image and choose rotate right or rotate left.
How about selecting several images and rotating them all at once?
Use the Windows 10 "File Explorer" as a guide for this.
make a gallery with some photos and publish it to a local directory.
View it with a browser. Edge for instance.
AOK
Now modify it by opening the gallery at the folder you saved it to above. I edited the icons to show at upper right. Change the buttons that show.
Save it to the same place, overwrite existing. (I doubt the changes are saved, the following prevents me from finding out)
There is no indication that anything is saved, disk access light blinks briefly.
View it with a browser as above.
Thumbnails will appear but images not. Same buttons as before editing.
At that point the Images directory is restricted, cannot view using File Explorer.
Cannot delete, requires Admin. Priv.
(when I FTP the gallery to my website all I get is the spinning icon, no images, and no evidence of the edited option icons having changed. No delete restrictions on my webhost.)
Rebooting seems to relieve those local restrictions and allow deletion.
I find that I must save the edited gallery to a new folder for all to be ok.
I created a gallery of 200+ postcard images and included the command buttons to the upper right. I wanted to edit which buttons were there so I opened an existing gallery and did so. I created the gallery, over wrote the existing one and the images directory became inaccessible. When trying to view the gallery with Edge browser, since Chrome doesn't work (I know, I read about that) locally. The thumbnails showed up and no image, only the spinning juicebox icon. I uploaded the gallery to my website, same thing. So I created the edited gallery again into a new empty directory and that worked.
Now I can't delete the images directory (which I now can't access, probably why the browser didn't open any images, only thumbnails) from the first go-round. Needs Administrator privileges. Also some of the other directories need level by level deletion.
I'll figure out the deletion thing but what the heck is going on here??
Windows 10
OK, I get it. Perhaps you can add an option to enlarge the thumbnails during the Images screen during gallery creation so rotation need is more easily noticed!
I'm having another situation I will post about soon... grr....
I am importing hundreds of photos (jpg) from my postcard collection. Rotation has been adjusted using the windows File Explorer. This rotation correction effort I made is lost on import. The tiny images that Juicebox gives me to re-do this work make it difficult to see the ones that need rotation. Can you please not strip out whatever information is in the photo files that indicates their correct orientation??
The attached file was rotated using File Explorer. I don't know how it will show up for you.

So a text watermark is not in the plans then? That is a negative for me, I don't want to deal with images for watermarks...
Watermark appears to require a jpg image.
How about being able to type in a text watermark and position it in your gallery images?
I am used to Picasa and now trying to transition to Juicebox.
