Common Issues

Project Won't Load

Possible causes:

  • File format issues
  • Corrupted project file
  • Missing dependencies

Solutions:

  1. Try repairing the project (see Project Maintenance)
  2. Check file extension is .album3d-x
  3. Ensure all source files are accessible

Images Not Displaying

Possible causes:

  • Missing project source files (e.g. photo.src.jpg; see SRC files in the Search dialog), original source files (see ORIG files in the Search dialog), or slide files (e.g. photo.jpg.slide)
  • Unsupported formats
  • Path issues

Solutions:

  1. Check that source images exist in the src folder
  2. Verify image formats are supported (jpg, png, bmp, webp)
  3. Try re-importing the images

Performance Problems

Solutions:

  1. Reduce quality settings (Main Menu → Quality)

Crash Recovery

Album3D maintains backup copies of your projects:

  • Backup files are kept in the _Album3D_backup_files_ folder next to your project.
  • You can restore from a backup by copying a chosen backup file, renaming it to a standard .album3d-x project name, and opening it.
  • Behavior of any automatic save or crash recovery features may vary by build; always save regularly.
