Hit the problem this morning and the fix worked.

Well done Steven.

Thanks Stephen,

I recreated a folder this morning with the arrows on the thumbnail page and it works fine on my PC.

Ignore the grain/noise. Call it 'art'.

Tony

On a touch enabled device, you can navigate between thumbnail pages by swiping the screen left (for the previous page of thumbnails) or right (for the next page of thumbnails).

The above does not work on a PC (as you suggest anyway) and that is where my client query arose.

I'll do the following - hang the space!


Additionally, you can set showSmallThumbNav="TRUE"

Has anyone asked if when there is another page of thumbnails whether the next page number at the bottom could be made into a hyperlink into that page.

My understanding is that the only way one can browse the next batch of thumbnails is by clicking on the final image, enlarging it, paging forward one frame and then calling back the thumbnail mode. Maybe there is another way but it had eluded my experiments and confused some of my viewers.

Thanks Steven.

There is always a solution !

Brilliant.

EDIT. Works a treat now:-

Thanks Steven,

I have looked at the index.html so see where the text is coming from in the tab.

With Juicebox I am using this for my Title. It gets me my hyperlink back to my main menu and gets me a copyright notice. Can you think of a way of forcing it to start by saying Tony Gamble Photography so that got into the tap instead of Return to?

If we/I/you could do that it would save me editing each index.html created.

This is my title at the moment:-

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><a href="/HurlList/" style="color: #ffff00; text-decoration: none;">Return to lots more Hurlingham Memories</a> | <span style="color: #33b4ca;">© Tony Gamble</span><br /><span style="color: #33b4ca; font-size: 48px;">Patrick Wright.</span></p>

My old system looked like this:-

In the browser bar tab it says "Tony Gamble Photography"

http://www.tonygamble.uk/Tea_Dance_Feb_2018/index.html


My Juicebox folders say this in the tab "Return to lots more Hurlingham Memories"

http://www.tonygamble.uk/Conserv_Mus_10 … index.html


Presumably I can get the browser tab to say "Tony Gamble Photography".

Can you tell me where I key the words, please?

Thanks Steven.

I get wiser by the day - as far as Juicebox is concerned but you need to ask my wife about the rest of my life !!

I can't see myself embedding for my current needs but I see what you mean.

As regards SMALL images I am finding the normal ones load plenty fast enough so I won't be bothering.

Thank you again, Steven,

I am getting to understand what the system is doing.

If I ask it to create a LARGE image it will use it “when opening image in a new window or when gallery is expanded.” I understand the new window but what do you mean about the gallery being expanded? I can’t see myself wanting the LARGE option but I might as well learn what it is for whilst this thread is active.

If I ask for a SMALL image you use it when the web folder is viewed on a small screen device and it has smaller pixel dimensions so it loads faster. Yes? In my case even loading my MEDIUM images on to a phone has never caused a problem – so I guess SMALL images are not for me (either).

With neither tick box for LARGE or SMALL being ticked I seem to be producing ‘images’ and ‘thumbnails’. Calling those ‘images’ MEDIUM creates a contradiction for me when your help page says “MEDIUM - Used in Large Screen Mode.” My web site is a Small Screen Mode website and it uses those MEDIUM images with no problem.

I wish I had never read those six words above because, as you said at the end of the last message “there will be only one set of images in your gallery (technically the MEDIUM images but don't worry about what they are called... they can be whatever resolution you want them to be) which will be used under all circumstances.”

Maybe I am the only person who has found this confusing but might it not help if you explained somewhere that the folder called ‘images’ contained multi purpose ones always and that it would have sub folders for LARGE and SMALL if requested.

Anyway I reckon we have done this topic to death now – and bored all your other more experienced users.

Yes, I had forgotten that adding the watermark necessitates processing. I will drop my 99% down to 90% and I admit that the original 80% was hard to differ from my new 99%.

Many thanks again. You have been very patient.

In fact I can see a difference if I change the jpg compression to 99 from 80

Thanks.

I have to admit Steven that the difference between the three words in upper or lower case escapes me. I must have read the instruction manual a dozen times over the last week and I still don't understand how the system works. Juicebox as a product is brilliant but when "LARGE" and "large" become importantly different I struggle.

For example when you and I first met less than two weeks ago you pointed me to a screen mode called Small so I could fill my thumbnail page with nothing but thumbs. It suited me because when I hit a thumbnail it produced a large image. You may call this a LARGE image or it may be, in your terminology a MEDIUM or a medium image. There you lose me. Why the screen mode is called small is a mystery when it produces 'big' pictures - but one that does not worry me.

Maybe sometime I may see the light - but in the meantime I want to muddle along with a Preset that gives me a good compromise of sharp colourful images that load comfortably on a relatively basic phone, tablet or PC. I'll stay the course and follow other posts in this forum and gradually I'll learn the niceties of the system,

Can you take a look at these two snips and let me know if I have chosen the best settings for my needs?

Sorrry. We are starting to run two similar threads.

Do you want to lock one?

It might make it easier for you.

Am I not creating 'large' images when I put 1920 by 1080 in that Medium box?

My reading of the above is that I am OK with this setting - bearing in mind I am importing 1920 x 1080 jpgs and not resizing.

I see what you mean about the images loading slowly when they are as large as 4640x3472.

I don't think I see enough difference on my PC or tablet in terms of sharpness to justify the lack of response.

However I do see quite a difference when I convert my RAWs to 1024x768 jpgs and do not let JuiceBox do any resize. I'll put a couple of comparisons on my server so you can see. The colours are more saturated and certainly they are sharper.

I could not see any difference when I ticked the Large Images in the Change Sizes option.

Tony

No. In Small Screen Mode (which your gallery uses), the 'small' images are used after clicking a thumbnail unless there are no 'small' images available, in which case, the 'medium' images (which are available in all galleries) are used.

Sorry. This I do not understand.

When I click a thumbnail why does it use a small image rather than the medium version. As I understand it my system is holding both small and medium.

I'll get there and it is an interesting journey.

Tomorrow I experiment with those much larger images to see how much smaller I can make then with a lower percentage - and still retain the defininition.

But the para in bold above I have yet to understand.

This is much on the same theme of my nearby thread on 'larger' images.

I've been reading through earlier posts on this forum and same across someone asking about embedded EXIF and what happens when you 'resize'.

He was going to drop his jpgs down to 1024x768.

I decided to import some jpgs (4640x3472) without the resize box ticked and I am amazed at how much sharper and more vibrant my large images are. Ticking the resize box does make them less crisp and reduced the colours.

Are there any other 'tricks' around that I can follow in the quest for the the 'best' large images?

EDIT. But doing this means one has to make the watermark much bigger if you use one !!

Tony

I also use Scale rather than Scale Down.

T

And the change sizes says....


T

Why would I want to tick the Large Images choice?

Would it make the full screen images better when I click a thumbnail?

This is what I have. Am I getting the best full screen images?



Tony

I have not had either ticked so far.

I ticked the Large and the results looked fine.

I ticked small and my full screen images looked jagged.

Presumably Re-size images needs to be ticked for best results to fill the screen - and Scale?

Tony

Thanks Steven.

Tony

I'm now using the system for real and once I have picked my images the software processes them.

I then pull down my normal preset and it processes them again.

If it is doing virtually the same thing twice can I leapfrog the first processing and simply process with my chosen preset.

Not a big deal but it would save a little bit of time.

Tony

Thanks yet again.

Some great advice. How wonderful to try a new program and have someone on hand to be able to guide so quickly.

I reckon I, and my loyal followers,  can survive with the title overlaying the thumbnails. All they need the thumbnails for is a quick reference as to what is there. If they are looking for a particular frame they find it roughly on the thumbnail page and then work through the large images.

I'll stay with this and, if I do anything, it might be to change the typeface and typography. I already did one with your Times New Roman and it looks a bit more classy. I am sure there are small tweaks like that worth thinking about.

As I said before - a great system. Well done.

Tony
