This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution. mkgallery.pl traverses directory tree starting from current directory downwards, and in each directory creates index.html file with the list of subdirectories and the list of image files in the directory. Fielsystem objects starting with '.' are not processed. For every directory, a file ".title" is checked, and created if absent, with the title for this album. Two subdirectories are created with scaled down versions of the images: ".640" and ".160", and a direcotory named ".html" containging slideshow pages (and info pages for non-javascript clients). For the thing to work, you must create a subdirectory named ".include" at the root of your image gallery, or somewhere upstairs in the document tree, and put there files from the subdirectory "include" of this distribution. Then, chdir to the root of your gallery and run "mkgallery.pl" script. First time, you will be asked to enter titles for all subdirectories ("Albums"); if you wish to recreate the titles, remove ".title" files. If you *don't* want "index.html" to be generated in some directory, create a file ".noindex". This way you can preserve index created by hand or by some other script like "mkindex.pl". command-line options: --debug: print a lot of debugging info to stdout as you run --asktitle: ask to edit subalbum titles even if there are ".title" files --noasktitle: don't ask to enter subalbum titles even where ".title" files are absent. Use partial directories as titles. The only way to specify titles for individual pictures is to write comments into the image files. "mkindex.pl" is a simple script that is completely unrelated to the gallery (theoretically). If your tree starts with YYYY/DD (four digit year and two-digit month, this script will create a compact table with references to individual months, and then a separate list for subdirectories that are not four-digit. Requirements: Image::Info Image::Magick (optional. If not present, will run djeg|pnmscale|cjpeg pipe) Term::ReadLine Download: svn co svn://svn.average.org/mkgallery/trunk mkgallery TODO: - any ideas? Eugene Crosser
