Options

Manage page attributes for your web albums on the Pages tab.

You can choose a number of display options for your web album pages by checking the boxes next to the characteristics you desire.

The Contact Sheet option exports only the index page(s) you create. Selecting this option disables the Export Images Only, Export Full Size Images, and Export Original Images check boxes.

The Export HTML Only option can be used when redesigning an album you've already created (while maintaining the images you included originally). Use this option to regenerate web pages after changing the comments or page design. Selecting this option disables the Images Only check box.

The Export Images Only option permits you to export your images without creating a web album. It is comparable to iPhoto's built-in file export. Selecting this option disables the Contact Sheet and Export HTML Only check boxes.

The Replace Existing Files option will replace any files BetterHTMLExport is attempting to export. If you uncheck this option and choose an export destination that is not empty, BetterHTMLExport will only alert you that it was unable to complete the export.

The Export Full Size Images option exports the selected images as they appear in iPhoto in addition to the images for the web album/image export.

The Export Original Images option exports the selected images as they were originally imported into iPhoto in addition to the images for the web album/image export.

The 31 Character Name Limit option will make sure that no file exported has a name longer than 31 characters. This is very useful if you need your export to work with Mac OS 9 or, as of the release of version 2.0.9, the .mac web server.

Use the Name Files Using popup to select how you would like exported files named:

  • Numbers - Sequential numbers, starting with zero are used for file names.
  • File Names - The names that images had when imported into iPhoto are used for the file names.
  • iPhoto Names - The iPhoto caption text for images is used for the file names.

For the File and iPhoto options, the names will be cleaned up to be safe for your file system and spaces will be replaced with underscores.

The back arrow moves you to the Images tab. The next arrow moves you to the Custom tab.
