Oops, sorry, I lost track of this for a bit.
I put the images, which I pre-prepare and size anyway, in a directory at
the same level as the album directory JAlbum creates and under the same
master directory.
In JAlbum, I drag images into the various folders and subfolders
directly from the image directory. Then in Settings, Navigation,
Image-Linking, I select 'Link to originals'.
When you make the album, there is a warning message about the need to
manually make sure the images will be there on the web for the JAlbum
code to find. What it doesn't tell you is where it will be looking for
those images. :-)
I just looked at Image Properties for a missing image to figure out
where they needed to be, created that directory on the web and uploaded
the images there. "There" is at the same level as the album directory
JAlbum creates with its publishing option.
So, for example, I created a directory named 'MorroAlb'. Under it, I
created a sub-directory named "Travel" and used JAlbum to create a new
album in another subdirectory named "MorroBay", with the usual further
directory structure below.
Using JAlbum's nice self-publishing option created a new album on my web
site named "MorroBay", a duplicate of the one on my HD. However, instead
of looking for the images in various sub and sub-sub-directories in the
album structure, it expects them all to be in the one place.
This means you have control of using the same, single copy of an
original image in various parts of various albums, depending on how you
name your image directory. that's why the one I have so far has the
generic name "Travel".
If that isn't clear, drop me a line.
