instantgallery.py

=================



instantgallery.py takes a directory containing photos and turns it into a 

shiny photo gallery made for the web. ALl you have to do is to enter a single

command line. To publish the gallery, just upload the output directory to 

any webserver. It's plain HTML, CSS and Javascript and it thus works regardless 

of your webserver.



instantgallery.py can handle and display EXIF information and is able to try

rotating portrait format photos automatically (by using their EXIF rotate

information combined with their aspect ratio).



By default the photos are ordered by their timestamp but you can specify a flag to 

have them sorted alphabetically. In the first case the script tries to read 

their EXIF "OriginalDate" field first and uses Unix' mtime() if this failes.



For an example of a gallery created with this software see below.



instantgallery.py supports EXIF information including GPS (shown using 

OpenStreetMap), subdirectories, intro texts and generating a ZIP archive

of the pictures for download.



instantgallery.py is able to generate galleries in other languages than

English, but currently only German is supported. If you add another language

I would be glad to get an [email]() or just fork

the project on [GitHub]() and

send me a pull request.

    Image processing:

      --no-date, -d         Prevents instantgallery.py from showing the date and

                            time of the picutres on the index page.

      --no-sort, -c         Do not try to sort the pictures chronologically. (We

                            try first to use EXIF as source for the timestamps,

                            then mtime().)

                            available for download.

      --sub N, -S N         Subdirectory entering depth (0 for staying in the

                            original directory).

      --filenames, -f       Display filenames in image details.

      --intro, -i           Use text file INTRO in the picture directories to

                            display on the index page.

      --no-promoting        Do not include a link to instantgallery.py's website

                            in the footer of the gallery's overview.
