build a .album file with seperate pages for each subdir. The bad news,
I'm a really bad perl programmer, so I wrote it as a shell
script. I did this because it was easier for me to use Sed, Awk, etc
than do all the file browsing and such in Perl.
It's attached, let me know if you can/feel like using it. It's a
pretty rough kludge, I'm really busy myself.
Features:
- Can build album file as $date.album or [yourname].album
- Can automatically run cthumb (if in $PATH)
- Can assign cthumb dir (if not in $Path)
- Can choose toplevel dir
- Can use current sys-date in title
- Can assign primary and secondary languagues
- Can enter album title at commandline
- Parses ~/.cthumbrc for values
- Makes seperate page for subdirs
- Traverses dir tree from 0-8 levels
- Ignores thumb directory and thumb images (unfortunately, it ignores
files named broken-thumb.jpg too)
To Do:
-Fix to allow sub-subdirs in different subdirectories to have same
name without being "updated"
-Fix thumb parsing to ignore the right "thumb" stuff
-Fix commandline processing
-Fix file type choices to be customizable
-Give option for breaking up pages (I hate single .html pages that
have 300 pictures)
-Give option for making a thumb directory prior to calling cthumb (to
prevent clutter)
-Autoconf for program locations
-Move to Perl? (not anytime soon, too busy)
Let me know if you can use it. By the way, I've written over 10,000
lines of PHP code too. If I have time when you start, I'll help w/a
PHP version.
