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 menu entry, or click on the Create JAlbum Gallery icon from the Tools tab in the Right Sidebar.
The Selection of Item to export to JAlbum Gallery Generator¶
This opens the JAlbum Export wizard that guides you through the entire process. This first page allows you to select items either from Images currently selected in digiKam, or from Albums hosted in your collections. This page also verifies the availability of the JAlbum and Java binary programs.
