Topic: Juicebox build 1.5.1 outdated

Hi,

Juicebox v1.5.1 is 9 years old, really outdated and is missing a lot of the latest web technology and file format.
It is using an old imbedded jquery version with many security issues

Is there any change a new build is being released in about one year.

kind regards

Hans

Re: Juicebox build 1.5.1 outdated

As time goes by, I think it is increasingly unlikely that an update will be forthcoming.

I'm still here as official support but I'm neither the author of Juicebox nor the person making the decisions.
As such, I've not heard any official word on the future of Juicebox.
Having said that, I've been pushing for an update behind the scenes for a while now (with suggestions and code) but I do not know if anything will come of it.

I'm sorry it's not better (or more certain) news.
In light of this, I'd understand if you wanted to migrate to a different web gallery program.
Thank you for your continued support over the years.

Re: Juicebox build 1.5.1 outdated

Mac OS Tahoe apparently does not support Juicbox Builder unfortunately.

Does anyone know of a substitute with anything like the elegance of JB Pro.

Or is it possible to bulid a gallery manually by pasting new files into an old JB Gallery?

Losing Juicebox is enough of a reason to keep me from installing Tahoe.

@Ann

Let's at least try to get JuiceboxBuilder up and running on Tahoe.

(1) Do you have any idea why macOS Tahoe does not support JuiceboxBuilder? (I don't have access to a Mac with Tahoe to test.)
(2) Does the problem appear to be with AIR or JuiceboxBuilder?
(3) Is the problem whilst installing or running AIR/JuiceboxBuilder?
(4) What exactly happens (or does not happen) vs what you expect to happen?
(5) Are any error messages displayed on-screen when the problem occurs?

I guess the main contenders are the version of AIR (use v33.1.1.744) and Rosetta (see here) but there could be another factor (such as security software) causing a problem.
It also might help to check out the Known Issues at the foot of the AIR download page.

Or is it possible to bulid a gallery manually by pasting new files into an old JB Gallery?

Maybe the support section entitled Manually Creating a Gallery will help with this.

Steven:
I don't know the answer because I have not yet installed Tahoe but I am hoping that someone who has installed it might know if JuiceBox will run on it.

My entire website is built from JB Galleries (about 70 of them!) so I would avoid any update to Tahoe rather than lose access to JB!

The Manual Build section could be very valuable (I didn't know that it existed!) and I have saved a PDF of that page.

Where did you get that information? The source might give me a clue as to what is going on. Thanks!

Re: Juicebox build 1.5.1 outdated

It was a comment somewhere on the internet.
Perhaps someone who has installed Tahoe can test JB on it?
I think that perhaps Tahoe has stopped recognizing anything which is based on Flash?
Tahoe has also pulled the plug on Firewire-connected devices.

Re: Juicebox build 1.5.1 outdated

I see a few comments on the internet about Adobe CC users having difficulty with Tahoe but nothing specifically about AIR (or JuiceboxBuilder).
Also, there's no mention of 'Tahoe' in AIR's GitHub Issues or Discussions.
I'll keep an eye out, though.
