Photo album generator wanted
After (again) searching for some good photo album generator, I'm
more and more inclined to writing yet another tool to do this.
Maybe I just want too much from this, but I haven't found solution
that would fit my needs:
- Generate static HTML (or XHTML).
- Design should be done using CSS.
- Ability to process whole tree of photos into single album with
directory based sub albums.
- Generate data only for changed/new photos (timestamp
checking).
- Support for including EXIF information in results.
- Clean and nicely looking default template.
- Support for image comments from EXIF, JPEG comment field and
external file.
- Automatic generating of images suitable for web browsing as
well as including links to full sized images from camera.
- Somehow active development. I fear of using code which has not
been updated for 3 years.
- It should be fast. This excludes anything written in bash as
spawning tons of external programs can not be fast.
- Written in some language I know. I'm pretty sure I will hit
some bug and I would like to be able to fix it. In fact only
suitable language for me seems to be Python.
- Command line interface is a must.
So far I'm using a bit customised Matew which really does not
fulfil everything, but at least works reasonably good (but
extremely slow). However the more and more pictures are in my
album, the slower this beast seems to be, so it's probably time to
switch to something new. So far I haven't found anything that would
actually fit, but PyAC
seems to be usable as starting point for my new project for
generating albums. Or is there a working solution?
