Web photo album - source image folder empty

I am using Vista and CS4.
I am trying to create a web photo album.
When I select Browse in the Source images folder, and navigate to my image folder (which has over 60 jpeg images in it), the dialog box in Dreamweaver says the folder is empty.
I tried to save the photo as other formats, gif, png, etc to no avail; it still says the folder is empty.
Can anybody give me something to try?

I create photo albums and the only thing I can suggest is when you get to the folder, you have to open the folder, then it will say SELECT at the bottom of the window. If you upgrade to CS5, Create Photo Album has been removed for some reason.

Dreamweaver Web Photo Album - no images

I am working on creating a Dreamweaver Web Photo album. I have done this before and it worked. Now, when I open the wizard:
and go to 'Source images folder' > 'Browse' I get 'No items match your search.' Unfortunately I can't get a screen shot of this since the page that pops up takes up my entire screen and can not be moved. I have tried just about all my image folders, making sure I only select the ones with jpgs in them - nothing. I do have the entire CS4 Adobe Creative Suite, including Firworks installed on my computer.
Windows Vista
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Beth,
Thanks, I will give that a try. Yes, I have Bridge and I have made/am making albums there. I am just not able to edit them in Dreamweaver as much as I would like to. So, I thought doing them in Dreamweaver would give me more editing options.
Again, many thanks!
christian
ps. You are also correct - doing it in Bridge gives me better functioning slideshows/web galleries!!!!!

Create Web Photo Album Problem

Please help!!!!!! I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite CS3 so I
have all the programs loaded on my computer.
I have been working on this for 2 days and cannot get this
command to work. I have 15 folders of pics that need to be put up
and I want family to be able to click on the thumbnail and open up
to a larger pic. There are over 100 pics in there. I loaded all the
pics in their own folders; I have tried jpg, tiff, jpeg, psd and
gif pics; (I separated them by file name so there are none mixed in
the folders) I put the pic folders inside my web page folder, then
I tried it on my desktop and I tried to use My Pictures folder.
This is how I am doing this:
I have the index.html page open on Dreamweaver CS3
I hit Command > Create Web Photo Album >
fill out "Photo album title:
fill out "Subheading info:
fill out "Other info:
In the "Source images folder:" when I Browse I go to the
folder and
I click on it and when that opens there are no pics in there.
Nothing shows up at all.
I finish up the rest and an error message shows up "An error
occurred".
Anyone know what I am doing wrong????
Thank you.... Linda

Hello Do you happen to know if you get the same problem with windows 7
Thanks

Problems creating web photo album

Hi, I've been creating web photo albums in CS3 using Fireworks over the last five years. The last album I created was in February 2012
http://www.classictennismatches.net/images/index11.htm
However, I have been trying to create a new album since Saturday and it wont work, the thumbnails nor pictures are just not been retrieved from the parent folder on my computer and I just get the page created with thumbnails not manifesting or collected in the images folder. I always have Fireworks opened before creating the album.
Does anyone have any ideas why I am not able to create proper photo albums all of a sudden? Any help will be appreciated.

Creating a Web Photo Album on Dreamworks CC

I used to often use the create web photo album command in DW 3 regularly to build image pages with thumbnail links but this function has dissappeared from the new Dreamworks Creative Cloud. I've read that this function has migrated to the new Bridge application, but am unable to get an output tab. I downloaded the adobe output module and added it to the Bridge extensions workspace folder and that disabled Bridge from even opening. Nothing I do seems capable of bringing the the output tab from its hiding place and I'm deeply frustrated by the labryinthe created by the lack of that simple create web photo album command. Are there other solutions that adobe expects the new version of dreamweaver to offer in the place of this handy tool?

DW isn't a photo gallery creation tool. There are much better options available for that.

Web Photo album file problem

I have Dreamweaver 8 and am trying to create a photo album with Web Photo Album 2.2 but when I try to add a folder of pictures to create an album I get a message of: No Items Match Your Search. I know there are .jpg files in the folder. I have seen old reference to this problem in other forum entries but nobody seems to have an answer. Is there a fix for this problem? If not.. how can I create a photo album in Dreamweaver without using this feature?

Hi,
hope I understood correct: for me a photo album is something like a slide show. In this case i like to work with

Create a Web Photo Album in DW fails when calling Fireworks

Hi there
I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some hint to what
could be causing this problem.
I recently uninstalled CS3 Dreamweaver and Fireworks (and any
other CS3 products) and installed the trial version of CS4 Master
Suite. Not when I am working in Dreamweaver and go to Create a Web
Photo Album (I do all the same steps I was doing successfully in
CS3) Fireworks goes to work and opens up, the small Batch window
appears for about 10 secs and then the Fireworks program closes
down.
So I uninstalled Fireworks and reinstalled (thinking I had
installed it badly). But the same shut down occurs. Has anyone
experienced so or have any ideas on what I should try to rectify
it.
Note: I made sure that all previous versions were cleaned off
my Mac before installing the CS4 package.
Thanks
Phillip

I have a similar problem. I have DreamWeaver8 and installed a
demo version of Fireworks. Fireworks works fine when I just want to
open an image to edit.
However when I try to create a Photo Album I am prompted to
install Fireworks. I have 21 days left in the trial version.
thank you

Trouble with making a link to Web photo Album in Dreamweaver cs4

I am pretty new to this. I have created my website, made all my links, which are working fine, but when I made a Web Photo Album in Adobe Bridge, saved in Dreamweaver under my other web pages on my site.
Here comes the problem, I made a link from i.e. (parents.html) to go into my Web Photo Album but it won't work when I preview it in browser, but other pages will work when I test it with the same link on my (parents.html) page.
I am pulling my hair out, I can't understand why the link to Web Photo Album won't work, it is the last thing I have to do before I have to upload website. Can someone please, please, please tell me what is wrong.
Cheers

You may need to upload the pages anyway, so that people can help you find the problem. Seeing the code and the associated files is the only way to try and help you ;-)
You can always upload the files to a test folder on the server instead of directly into the root of the site if that is going to be an issue for you,
PS: If it's working from being linked to from other pages, then there must a pathing issue when it comes to that one page.

Web Photo Album 2.1 - putting it in page

Hi,
I'm on DW MX and haven't used it in a while. I installed the
extension web photo album 2.1 and I have a page onto which I want
to put a photo gallery. So I have the page created and my cursor
placed and I chose 'Command/Create Web Album2.1" and I created the
album.
First, when I chose to add captions (and it must access
Fireworks MX to do so). it was fine but it skipped showing some
photos when it asked for a caption. So some photos got left out.
Also, this seems to create a folder for my gallery but is
there a way to insert this gallery into an existing page, at least
as a starting point?
I now see my photo gallery folder for instance, but I have no
way to preview it (once I pulled out of the initial creation
preview).
I'm kind of lost as you might surmise, but I'm fairly
experienced with web programs.
I appreciate any guidance,....Thanks, Frank B.

Create Web Photo Album

I'm trying the 30-day version of Fireworks CS3 for two
reasons: First I want to more easily create my web photo albums,
and second, I want a graphical navbar with some elements having a
popup menu.
The issue I'm running into when I use the "Create
Web Photo Album" command from within DW CS3 is that the
resulting images get renamed to have a suffix of
"_jpg" added. I HATE that! (This means that an
image called "name.jpg" gets changed to
"name_jpg.jpg". Redundant, to say the least.
How can this be controlled? If I use FW directly to optimize
an image, this renaming doesn't happen, so I'm guessing this is
something that DW controls. And I'd like to override that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

NO! It's not that easy! Have you actually tried the advice
you just gave? That'll break the whole routine!
(Folks, whatever you do, before attempting ANY modifications
to this file, MAKE A BACKUP!!!)
You need to make changes in several places and everything
must remain in sync - don't forget that this routine also writes
the html table code to display both the thumbnails and full-size
images and the href and img src references must point to the
correct files! If you remove the references to .jpg the resulting
html tables will NOT work! And the files will probably be wrongly
named as well.
Proceed with caution!
I'll see what I can do about documenting what I did - I'm new
to javascript but have many years of higher level programming
experience. The first thing I did while going through the code was
to put in comments explaining what certain parts of the code did,
as I figured them out. And then with great care, I made my changes.
By the way, Notepad certainly works for this, but it's a lot
easier to use Dreamweaver itself or (what I did) the Adobe
Extendscript Toolkit 2 that was included with my CS3 package. It
makes it easier to visualize the blocks of code and how everything
relates. And the find/replace dialog is superb.

DW8: Web Photo Album

My computer is Dell laptop, Windows XP. I have DW8 & FW8.
I am using the Web Photo Album command that comes with DW8, not the
Web Photo Album 2.2 extension. It generates the .htm pages, but
does nothing with the images. I have searched the forums here and
found several similar questions but no solutions other than
re-install FW. Has anyone come across another solution to this
problem by now? (Re-installing didn't work.) I have worked through
the process on another computer and not had this error
message.

I wish I could help, but all I can do is confirm that this
issue still occurs in DW/FW CS3. I've tried two different computers
running it and get the same error message.
I've written about it on the Crappy Software Blog:

Editing a Web Photo Album Created With Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3

I created a web photo album with DW CS3 and FW CS3. I want to
add and delete some of the photos in the collection. So far, the
only way I have been able to do this is to recreate the whole thing
from scratch with all the correct pictures in the target folder. Is
there an easier way?

I could be wrong (we only test Adobe widgets for the quality
of their output
code, not for features, or lack of features) but recreation,
as Patty said,
might be the only way. If you have a development budget, you
might want to
take a look at some commercial tools that would have the
features and
capabilities you want or need.

Adding pictures to a Web Photo Album 2.2 Extension

I've created and posted a web album using the Web Photo Album
2.2 extension.
Now I'd like to add a few photos to it. How can that be done?

mmm! I'm seeking exactly the same answer. Surely once the
code has been written by DW & FW it can be edited to include
subsequent images/coding at a later date?

Created Web Photo Album but Main Photos do not show on centre page in Firefox

Site is
I have used web photo album in this web site. In IE this is showing OK and all images are centralised, however in Firefox the main photo pages are showing to the left can anyone help me please?
http://www.sancere.com/Album/pages/Picture-018_jpg.htm

The page is showing OK in IE because it's in quirks mode - due to the fact that you are not using a doctype. Firefox is showing the page as it really is :-)
I've recoded the page for you - see if this works better.
Notice the doctype at the top of the document. You should use this on every page of your site. Which version of DW are you using if it didn't create the doc type ??
I've moved the body style into the style rules to the head of the document. I've added an ID for the table #gallerytable and applied that to your table.
If you look at the #gallerytable styles, you'll see I've given the table a width and set the margin to auto, which will center the page in both browsers. I've also removed the centering you had in the <td> elements.. no need for that because it's covered in the #gallerytable styling
