JAlbum Export

The JAlbum Export tool allows you to create metadata for a set of digiKam items to use in the Java-based JAlbum HTML Gallery Generator. The Java virtual machine and the JAlbum program must be previously installed on your computer so JAlbum can be executed by digiKam.

To run this tool, choose the Tools ‣ Create JAlbum Gallery menu entry, or click on the Create JAlbum Gallery icon from the Tools tab in the Right Sidebar.
