Can I make a gallery for a secondary website on Neocities? I'm having trouble with that
Better than squarespace, google sites, Yola, Wix, WordPress, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Weebly, Webflow, and more.
When I try to make a gallery, the program keeps giving me an error saying no album was found.Is there something I'm missing?
Yes you must select a source folder that contains sub-folders of images (albums) - there is a diagram on the right of the program with an example.
I was looking for a CSS gallery on the net and you come up with this at just right time!!!
I had to type this in terminal for the app to work, however (Apple Silicon):
sudo xattr -rds com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Melon\'s\ Gallery\ Maker.app
This is a handy tip thank you! I'm trying to figure out how to make it easier to run for the next version!
