3. 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"

+For the thing to work, you must create a subdirectory named ".gallery2"

"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

+command-line options:
+ --help: print help message and exit
+ --incpath: do not try to find .gallery2 diretory upstream, use
+ specified path (absolute or relavive). Use with causion.
+ --debug: print a lot of debugging info to stdout as you run
+ --asktitle: ask to edit album titles even if there are ".title" files
+ --noasktitle: don't ask to enter album titles even where ".title"
+ files are absent. Use partial directory names as titles.
+ --rssfile: partial name of rss file. Must be reachable from the
+ current directory or from one of upper directories.
+ First must be created with mkgalrss.pl script.

+The only way to specify titles for individual pictures is to write

"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
+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.
+of subdirectories that are not four-digit.
Requirements:
Image::Info
-Image::Magick (might get rid of that later)
-Term::ReadLine (not at this moment but planned)
+Image::Magick (optional. If not present, will run djeg|pnmscale|cjpeg pipe)
+Term::ReadLine
+XML::RSS (optional. If not present, will refuse to make RSS feed)

TODO:
-- center info window relative to scroll position
-- tooltips for info and full image links
-- try to get info from APP12 marker for non-EXIF files
-- make Image::Magick optional
-- anything else that I forgot
+- implement header and footer insertion
+- make index.html depend of .title and directory timestamps
+- rebuild htmls in .html when directory timestamp chnges (images added)
+- make links in the rss file relative
+- try to make showwin "Extending: Element" and get rid of domelement()
+ dummy getter and getCoordinates() replacement function
