You can - grab netpbm at http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/ but ususally your - distro ships with it already. My YDL distro has all the toos in netpbm-progs - package. - -* webgallery.pl - ------------- - - Tuomas Kuosmannen created a nautilus script that operates on selection - of images. It's way cooler than the bash script. Because the operation - can take a while, it has a nifty progressbar. The script itself is in - Perl, so you obviously need a functiuoning installation of Perl. For the - progressbar to work, you need gtk-perl bindings. You can get them at - ftp://ftp.gtk.org. Nautilus is a GUI file manager that rocks for photo - management. you can grab it at http://www.eazel.com. - -* webgallery-zenity.pl - -------------------- - - I hacked up Tuomas' script to use only gnome's zenity for the progress bars, - so there's no more gtk-perl dependency. Also this script uses Larry Ewing's - cool gdk-pixbuf scaler. It is an alternative to ImageMagick's convert - (sharing the basic commandline parameters) that discards EXIF information - (yet), but is 5 to 8 times as fast. You can really tell on large galleries. - You can find both at the convert/ directory. Instructions how to compile - gdk-pixbuf-convert.c are included in the file header. - - -If you wan't to have advanced EXIF information for your photos, make sure you -use a recent ImageMagick so that convert doesn't throw away this info when -scaling down. Also grab Metacam -(http://www.cheeseplant.org/~daniel/pages/metacam.html) and configure the path -to it in inc/config.inc.php. |
