    I created a new webalbum but now I want to add some pictures in the same album and the program askes to open the "web album files". I only can look into my folder but can't find this extension. Is there anybody who knows how to handle???

    There is a difference between generating and saving a web album. Generating an album will create many HTML and JPG files, whereas saving an album creates a single ".alb" file so you can make future changes to your album. I'm afraid you may have done one, but not the other.

    The terminology between the two actions is simmilar, so confusion is understandable. If anyone has any alternate terminology suggestions, I would be open to suggestions.

    Indeed, you're right I forgot to save the album.
    Anyhow this was the tool I's looking for.
    Not to difficult but simple to handle.
    Thanks for your support.

    How about "generating an album" and "saving an album description file" (or album definition, or something along those lines)?

    Well, I'd like the terms to be as non-technical and approachable as possible. "Photo List" would be appropriate, for example, if the album data didn't also include colour and format information.

    Conversely, I could rename the "Album Generation" process to "Web Page Generation" or something similar.

    "Generate web pages" maybe?

    A problem I had the other day -- I lost work by accidentally clicking on "new album" while editing descriptions and addding pictures to an old one. It seemed to delete the stuff I'd been working on (no prompt to save changed work in existig album). Or am I missing something?

    While we're talking about confusion, one thing confused a couple of us for a bit, today:- The "save" option for colour schemes made me think I had to press it to avoid losing the whole album setup. Of course, it would just have changed the definition of one of the predefined colour schemes to the new colours I'd picked (possibly not a very useful action - and certainly not what I would have wanted). Fortunately light dawned in time, and I didn't do that.

    But it's an excellent bit of software.
