Photo Gallery Generator

This is my photo gallery generator script, used on this site. It's really easy to use, and friendly too. Just download it and run it from a directory containing some images. It'll guide you from there! Nothing to remember.

Is it what you're looking for? Here's what goes on. The first time it runs, the script will generate a skeleton "spec.txt" file which lists all the image files in the current directory. Fire up your text editor and fill in the descriptions. Then rerun the script and it will generate the gallery in the "output" subdirectory. It's that easy.

The script copies (and resizes) all the original images to the output directory, so you just need to copy the contents of that subdirectory to your webserver. The script uses the ImageMagick "convert" program to resize the images and thumbnails to make a nicely sized gallery.

See my metal melting gallery for an example of what you can do with this script (and a homemade furnace).

Just download nobugs-gallery-1.1.tar.gz, extract it and run it. This software is released under the GPL.
