I've just installed Gallery on Debian testing - a web-based photo album run on php. It's really excellent: I've got three years worth of completely unmanaged photos on my computer that I've been meaning to sort out and name and print. The one odd thing I notice so far is that not all the text appears until the mouse rolls over it. Anyone else tried Gallery?
I know a fair number of users of it, personally I don't like it, but then, I can't see the point in using a dynamic web app to display photos. I use bpgallery.sh (shameless plug: http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/development/bpgallery.html), works nicely on my local machine and I just rsync up the photos afterwards.
bpgallery.sh is still under development, but I have fixed most of my initial problems with it, it requires the image magic tools, gnu find, xargs and bash, currently, I don't think I'll be needing anything else in the tool chain :) Currently it generates static HTML, but will barf on directories that it's already dealt with (i.e. if you add new pictures to a gallery, you currently have to remove all the files it generates and regenerate them), I'm working on that though :) Also working on making it so that the images can have captions and so that you can give it different templates.
