This package includes two separate applications. In the www dir, there is the PHP frontend app, the convert dir includes a simple (too simple i guess) script that converts your wildcard of images into three subdirs in the current directory. You can easily create and upload all images using: mkdir temp cd $_ /path/to/imgconv *.png *.gif *.{jpeg,jpg} scp -rp ./web-gallery me@my_server:public_html/galleries/gallery_name and that's it. Tuomas Kuosmannen (tigert@tigert.com) has created a Nautilus script to create "original" galleries (check the REQUIREMENTS file). Just copy the convert/contrib/webgallery.pl file to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and make sure it's got the execute bit set. # UPDATE Apart from using netpbm package (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/) for scaling images, the new webgallery-zenity.pl script uses Larry Ewing's gdk-pixbuf-based scaler. See REQUIREMENTS for details. Latest versions of the tools can be found at http://jimmac.musichall.cz/original.php3 Various Notes ============= Gallery Dates ------------- By default, original uses the directory timestamp to figure out the date of the gallery. If I need to tweak it, i use `touch -d`. However some folks requested a more convenient (is it?) way, using a "$gallery/date.txt" file. This functionality has been replaced by the mew meta info file - info.txt: Info.txt format --------------- The file is a simple text of "key|value" pairs on separate lines. The '|' separator is used, since you may want to use '=' and ':' as you're free to use html markup in the file. Make sure you use a utf8 capable editor. Some useful keys: ----------------- date - can be used to override the timestamp of the directory name - you can override the dir name if you prefer not using utf8 filenames description - _short_ dexcription. Will be show in the index page. author - Useful if the photographer isn't you. -- Jakub 'Jimmac' Steiner
