Web Album is a program that will create a web based photo album from a collection of digital images. It effectively scans all your directories from a user selected root directory creating thumbnail representations of your photos, templates for captions of every photo and finally web pages that include your thumb nails with captions and links to the original photos. Also web pages for intermediate directories will be generated containing links to their sub directories.
As an example I have included some photos which you can access here.
The following screen shots show the rather simple user interface. It is a small specialized program. I wrote it to fill a particular need I had and because other programs I found on the web did not exactly fill my needs.
| Platform | Installer | Instructions |
| Windows 98/NT/2000 | windowsinstall.exe | Read Me |
| Native Java | install.jar | Read Me |
In a command window enter:
java -version
Make sure the response indicates that the version is greater than or equal to version 1.2
In a command window go to the directory in which you have saved the album.jar file and enter:
java -Xmx192000000 -jar album.jar
You can also append a directory path if you wish, e.g.
java -Xmx192000000 -jar album.jar /stuff/photos
Most people make a batch or script file to do this. Here is one for Windows. Download it into the same directory as the jar file and if desired make a shortcut of it on the desk top.
You are welcome to have the source code to Web-Album. There is no licence or guarantee associated with this program. All I ask is if you develop further enhancements is that you consider giving me access to them so that I can add them into the next version. The sources are in Java JAR format and can be extracted by using the following command:
jar xvf source.jar
