The pictures albums are simply managed through your own folders. The fact is jBrout uses two XML files to file your pictures and speed up displays and searches. These two files can be rebuilt at any time when reimporting your pictures. Their content is exclusively based on the data coming with your pictures. All the information managed by jBrout is stored in your pictures: keywords (tags) in the IPTC data, dates in the EXIF data, comments in the comment JPEG field, thumbnails in the internal thumbnail of the EXIF data. This principle guarantees the continuity of the pictures data and abides by the EXIF and IPTC norms. jBrout respects your pictures. It doesn't modify any essential information in them. In order to respect norms, jBrout uses well-known tools (jhead, jpegtran/exiftran,...). The comment associated with an album is saved as a text file in the album folder.
