Images

Fit image in browser

You can specify here if the image on the page should fill in the browser window.

  • Enlarge: Only enlarging the image to fill in the browser
  • Shrink: Resizing the image only if larger than the browser window
  • Both: Will resize the image in both direction

Please note, that not every page element is taken into account when the enlargement factor is calculated, so it could happen that you need to scroll down for some elements (like the guestbook). The best here to turn off the extra elements on the page.

The resizement is done by the visitor's browser which might result in pixelated pictures and jaggy edges.

Image navigation

You can navigate through the pages by simply clicking parts of the main picture.

  • None: No navigation map will be generated
  • Previous | Next: Links only to the next and previous page
  • Previous | Index | Next: Image has link to back to index page too, moreover if the original image exists the lower part of the middle third links to that. If no original the whole middle third will link to the index page.

Open original in new window

Opens a new window when you click the download icon or the image navigation's bottom middle area. If unchecked the original will open in the same window, and to go back to the slide page the visitor needs to use the browser's Back button.

Image save protection

Protects the hi-res images from saving (with right-click or drag&dropping) to the disk. Works for slide images and originals too. Just note, there's no efficient protection for images displayed in a browser window. The visitors easily can make a screenshot, for example. Use the Watermark filter to protect your images. The relatively small pixel size used in galleries also makes them unattractive to steal.

Download icon

You can turn off the download icon if not needed. It will not be displayed anyway when "Image Save Protection" is selected. If you select "Link to scaled-down images only" this icon will be displayed along with the "Original image" text to make it easy to follow which pictures have the originals included. You can control this by right clicking the thumbnail and selecting the "Include original" option.

Show image title on mouseover

You can turn off those little popup labels when you move the mouse over the main picture. I know Title is being used in Jalbum for another purpose, and can be confusing, but these labels are also called (link-) Titles on the webpages.

Border

You can apply borders to slide images too. Beware, that the default white color will not be visible with styles having white background already.

Text to display

Omit, top, bottomYou can control the place of text information relative to the main image.

Number, File title, Comment, Label, Filename, Date SizeChoose the piece of information you would like to display. Label means the filename without the extension. The underscores "_" are replaced by spaces in labels.

Use Label if there's no CommentThe label (filename without the extension) will be displayed if no comment was found.
