need to pass info to/from albums, to know going in the index for the parent album, and going out, the info on number of pictures in the album, etc. Fairiz Azizi Hinman suggests: 1) specify a target directory where ALL generated files (images and html files) will be placed, then I can easily synchronize with a website by just uploading this one directory 2) in the album files, specify a filename to be simply linked and also specify an image file to display with the link. This will allow someone to link in movie files and other non-scaleable media ex. DefaultImageDir: images/ AVIDefaultImage: avi.jpg MOVDefaultImage: mov.jpg Page: foo foo page - LINK ./media/mymovie.avi My Movie (AVI file) - LINK ./media/mymovie2.mov /images/mymovie2_snapshot.jpg My 2nd Move (AVI file) - We might consider naming slide files using their real geometry extension, instead of the scaling bounding box geometry. This would require precomputing the actual scaled geometry, or renaming the file after scaling it. - More integration between the thumbnail generation and the slide generation. There is a lot in common that we are not leveraging yet. -------------------------------- D O N E - also, they should not be re-created if they don't change from run to run. - i'd like to detect when anything new shows up in the themes to update it. ideally something like an rsync, instead of a cp. right now, someone upgrading has to delete the theme directories and re-run cthumb to get the Prev/Next arrows. - i would like to get rid of the "0x0-" in the name of the html files for the individual pictures. - if NoMainIndex == 1 -> don't generate back arrows. - Generate pages for multiple-resolution pictures. - Generate JavaScript code that pops up a new browser with no decorations and just the image, possibly with buttons to go to next picture, or page ... - Allow sub-albums - Allow an option for selecting a single location for the themes for all albums. - Allow real captions with anchors. - One picture as the title of a page - provide old format for captions to allow *long* captions - display the language based on the language taken by the browser [en] -> english, etc. this would require some php (or something cgi based) behind? or is there some web server thing that can do it? - Option for multiple html pages from on directory with max n thumbs/page....
