Jupiter 83 User's Manual

Image & Folder Settings

To access image and folder settings, hover on a thumbnail in the main jAlbum editing window, and click More.

Then choose Edit.

Then choose the Jupiter panel on the right side of the editing window.

• Video host URL: YouTube or Vimeo: If you enter a URL in this field, this image will be linked to an externally-hosted video on YouTube or Vimeo. See Info: Hosted Videos for more information.
• Width: The width of the display window for an externally-hosted video.
• Height: The height of the display window for an externally-hosted video.

  Note that the dimensions of the video window will accept these width and height entries unless they are larger than the selected jAlbum image bounds, in which case they will be automatically adjusted downwards to remain within those bounds. The adjustment occurs at album creation time - the adjusted values are never displayed in this window.

• Length: You may provide the length (hours, minutes, seconds) of an externally-hosted video. The skin will use this if you choose to display the video length as part of a caption or tooltip.
• Map link: If selected, and if GPS coordinates are available in the EXIF or XMP metadata of this image file, a globe icon is displayed in the caption area which, if clicked, opens a new browser tab or window that displays a map, centered on the GPS coordinates. If you have chosen to display map links for all images in the album (see Maps), making a selection here allows you to specify a different map type and zoom level for this image.
• Map type: The type of map to display: hybrid, roadmap, satellite, or terrain. The hybrid map is a satellite view with an overlay of labels (street names, for example). The terrain map is a topographic view, with contour lines and shading to represent elevation.
• Zoom level: The initial zoom level for the map. Note that some map types, like terrain, may not be available at high zoom levels.
• PDF aspect ratio (W/H): The desired aspect ratio (height divided by width) for displaying a PDF. Values less than 1.0, like 0.8, sometimes work best for material that is shown on portrait-mode pages. Values greater than 1.0 work best for scanned material that is in landscape mode. The exact display dimensions are browser-dependent to some degree. The Chrome PDF viewer, for example, does not properly compensate for the size of its own tool bar.
• Panorama: If selected, this image will be treated as a horizontal panorama. The maximum image width is modified from the project settings for image bounds. If the project image bounds are, for example, 2000 by 900 pixels, this image, when scaled, will be bounded by 50000 x 900 pixels. The slide page is responsive to the height of the viewport, but the visitor can scroll left and right to view the entire image. On a phone, swiping left or right will pan across the image, rather than advancing to the next or previous slide.
• Center: If selected, the panorama is scrolled to its center upon page loading or resizing. Otherwise, the scrollbar is initially on the far left side of the image.
• Responsive image only: Normally, the slide page is fully responsive, showing the image and all text on the page (captions, copyright, etc.) - a vertical scrollbar appears only in the most extreme cases. If this option is selected, the page will be responsive to the image only, allowing caption text to trigger the appearance of a scrollbar. This may be useful when presenting an image that should be shown as large as possible, despite the presence of lengthy caption text.
• Custom thumbnail overlay: If checked, a custom thumbnail overlay icon may be shown on the thumbnail for this object.
• Make New: When displaying a "new" overlay on a thumbnail for an image or video, the skin uses the date on which the file was added to the project to determine its "newness." Clicking this button causes the "date added" to be set to the current date and time, thereby making it appear new. The button is then dimmed out to indicate that the action has been accomplished. If you later return to this file, the button is enabled again, since you could make the "date added" even newer. Note that this cannot be undone - the "date added" can be reset to the Java epoch, but the original "date added" has been overwritten, and can't be recovered.
• Make Old: Clicking this button causes the "date added" to be set to the Java epoch, Jan. 1, 1970 (adjusted for your time zone), thereby making it appear old even if it is, in fact, newly-added. The button is then dimmed out to indicate that the action has been accomplished. If you later return to this file, the button is still dim, since you can't make the "date added" any older than the Java epoch. Note that this cannot be undone - the "date added" can be reset to the current date, but the original "date added" has been overwritten, and can't be recovered.
• Folder Info Text: Clicking this button brings up a window in which you can enter top and/or bottom info text for the current folder (material to be shown above or below the thumbnail table), overriding the material provided in the main skin settings.
