This function exports the pictures of an album in an arrangement,
suitable for the web, as HTML- and imagefiles, offering many additional
options.

The options in detail (columnwise, from left to right):
4.3.9.1 Format
Here you can set the format, in which the full pictures and thumbnails
shall be saved. "PNG" will, with the exception of some special cases,
always create bigger files than "JPEG", as it does not use a lossy
compression algorithm. It thus is better suited for picture-CDs on
HTML-basis, where enough space and "bandwidth" is available.
4.3.9.2 Target directory
Specify the target directory for the created HTML- and picturefiles
here. ATTENTION: Existant, equally named files are overwritten.
4.3.9.3 Thumbnail quality
If JPEG is chosen as format, you can select the JPEG-quality of the
thumbnail-files here.
4.3.9.4 Fullpic Qualität
If JPEG is chosen as format, you can select the JPEG-quality of the
full picture-files here.
4.3.9.5 Pictures / Line
Specify how many thumbnails shall be stored in a line, here.
4.3.9.6 Lines / Page
Give the number of lines of thumbnails per page here. "0" stands for
"one page for all".
4.3.9.7 Table border
Specifies the size of the HTML-tableborder for the overview page(s).
4.3.9.8 Picture border
Specifies the size of the HTML-imageborder for the single pictures.
4.3.9.9 Subtitle
You can choose what information shall be printed below a picture, here.
If you have used the (lateron explained) albumtools to add comments to
the pictures, this is the place to enable their export.
4.3.9.10 Headfile
By default, fxALBUM exports a minimum head for each created HTML-page.
If you want to seaminglessly integrate an exported HTML-album in your
page, you can specify a file, containg your own header (e.g. navigation
links), here.
4.3.9.11 Footerfile
This option does the same as "Headfile", except it defines the file
containg the HTML- code to append at the bottom of a HTML-page.
4.3.9.12 Skin
Skins allow you to change the way the exported albums look like. A
description and a definition on the structure of a skin can be found in
either an appendix or in a file in fxPAINT:Storage/Web/Skins/.
4.3.9.13 Overview only
If this option is active, no HTML-slideshows, fxCARDs and full picture
views are generated. This makes only sense when presenting small
pictures or if you don't want or need a bigger view, though.
4.3.9.14 File suffix
Here you can define the file suffix of the HTML-files. Normally you
should just leave this to "html". This changes of course if you use
e.g. serverside includes (SSI) or a scripting language like PHP in your
head- und footer-files. In those cases suffixes like "shtml" and "php"
of course make sense.
4.3.9.15 Thumbnail: Size
Give the maximum width and height of a thumbnail here. The default is
the size you set for your fxALBUM-thumbnails in the settings.
4.3.9.16 Thumbnail: High quality
Makes fxALBUM use a high quality scaling algorithm for the thumbnails.
This needs more calculation time, though.
4.3.9.17 Thumbnail: Smooth border
This function adds a soft border to the saved thumbnails, giving them a
decent 3D look.
4.3.9.18 Full picture: Scale to and Max size
If you don't want to export full images in their original size, you can
either set its maximum width and height with "Max size" or a fix
percentage of its orginal size.
4.3.9.19 Full picture: Smooth border
This function adds a soft border to the saved full pictures, giving
them a decent 3D look.
4.3.9.20 Full picture: Insert pen and Pen
This function lets you insert a pen, much like a stamp or a watermark,
into your full pictures. This is especially of use when putting online
exclusive pictures or you want to make illegal copies harder.
4.3.9.21 Create fxCARDs
If this option is active, fxPAINT creates the required HTML-code and an
adapted PHP4-script with which you can offer internet greeting cards on
your page. You need a PHP4-enabled HTTP- server for this, though. The
copyright for the exported script remains at IOSPIRIT. It may only be
used by registered users of fxPAINT. To ensure the security of the
sourcecode of the script is your duty. Though we prepared the script
with greatest care, IOSPIRIT can not be made responsible for the
function and the behaving of the script.
4.3.9.22 Create slideshow and delay
If this option is active, fxALBUM creates an additional set of
HTML-files that allow you to use a browser to view a slideshow.
4.3.9.23 Load and save profiles
If you are regulary using non-default settings, you can save and reuse
your settings with these two functions.
4.3.9.24 Create HTML-album
This starts the actual calculation and creation of the HTML-album.
