Linux / FreeBSD Text Based Gallery Generator
(llgal, igal, igal2, bbgallery)
Recently I was looking for a handy
way to generate nice html or php like gallery. After some asking in
freenode and some help provided by some guys from #debian chan as
well as some personal research. I came across 4 handy progs that
works like a charm. Here is a list of the generators:
1.
llgal (llgal is an easy and
fast on-line gallery generator based on iGal)
2.
igal1 and igal2 (igal is a
quick and easy program for placing your images online.)
3.
bbgallery (small
perl script generating the galleries)
. All of this gives you a way to modify the default templates
according to your willings.
Be aware that bbgallery requires perl html compatability.
A small example of what you can expect from the newly generated
gallery can be seen
here generated with
llgal and some more
here generated with
igal .
I personally liked more the generated default galleries with igal
because they looked a bit more fancy although that llgal includes a
way more advanced possibilities and options.
One of the main things that could lead you into using llgal instead
of igal is that llgal supports generation of galleries from
directories and subdirectories in a recursive manner, where the end
generated output lists you all your pictures from directories and
it's sublinks into a common gallery right into the root directory
it was executed.
One more helpful tip in case if you decide to include all
subdirectories in a unique gallery use:
llgal --Pall .
llgal comes with a handy howto that describes many of the fancy
llgal features.
Hope you have some fun with this three.
