V6.5New Features (Mostly from J.J. Frister -- THANKS!)
- Multiple "viewing" levels. Based on authentication type, but generally can specify "Anyone," "Member," or "Owner" at upload time. Only the specified users will be able to see the image.
- Moving/Deleting links only moves/deletes the link, not the actual photo.
- Views are now moved with the object
- The following slideshow changes:
- Will go into slideshow mode even if popups are blocked via Mozilla, Firefox or ZoneAlarm settings -- if popups are blocked, the browser window is still the regular one, rather than the borderless one.
- Returns you to the regular view of last photo seen in the slide show when you close the slideshow.
- Degrades nicely if Java is disabled - same result as when popups are blocked.
- Fits vertical photos into the screen height if you have ImageMagick installed
- Uses the Photo_album.css settings for back-ground of the slideshow
- Behaves the same way wether you start from album.pl?photo=... or from album.pl?slideshow=5;photo=...
- Fullscreen slideshows no longer have a body margin.
- Slideshow runs faster
- Added image=random and image=randthumb to display random photos/thumbnails directly (no HTML, just the image itself)
- Added the ability to rename the (system) file or directory when moving.
- Base script has been chopped into multiple modules.
- Added module path configuration variable.
- Can now handle JPEG 2000 (jp2) files.
- If you view from a Windows platform, the site will ask you to install the Lurawave jp2 plugins.
- If you view from a Linux platform, conversion back to jpg occurs on the fly, via ImageMajick.
