-The web backend requires to have a PHP scripting engine running on
-your web server.
-
-There are two scripts doing the scaling work. convert/imgconv is a plain
-bash script using Imagemagick to generate thumbnails and scaling images.
-You can get Imagemagick at http://www.imagemagick.org/.

-# UPDATES #
-
-* netpbm
- ------
- You can use netpbm tools instead of ImageMagick for better speed. 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.
