[»] Album is perfect for archiving digital photos
by Anstat - Apr 4th 2007 17:55:27

Because it:
* doesn't modify or move the original photos
* produces HTML output which won't be obsolete in 10 years, (unlike most other data formats)
* creates html from multiple directories with a single command
* can create intermediate-size photos (important for interactive performance at the MegaPixels go up)
* supports movie files, too
* supports display of EXIF data in the HTML output (no need to click around in a special viewer)

[»] Simple and powerful, what more could you want?
by frijolito - May 20th 2003 19:10:13

I literally was up and running 3 minutes after downloading this script. Highly recommended: it's extremely simple, and works perfectly the first time.

If you're in doubt, download it yourself, and if you don't like it, well, you will only have lost 3 minutes of your life.

[»] Very cool!
by Michel Rodriguez - Mar 15th 2002 12:00:42

I had a bunch of scripts that did something similar, but album is much more professional and clean:
- one script does it all,
- it relies on convert and which usually work on most *nix systems, as opposed to ImageMagick which I never managed to compile,
- the file structure it generates is very neat and unostrusive,
- the source is quite easy to read (and tweak, see a slightly modified output)

Overall album strikes the perfect balance between simplicity (if I just drop the files from my digital camera in a directory they can be neatly online seconds later) and customization (I can come back later and add captions very easily)

Kudos to Dave

Just sort my photos in subdirs and watching them via browser with nice themes

Thanks a lot, Mr. Author

[»] Just easyyyy.....
by Figaro Mazur - Aug 30th 2001 09:31:22

Organizing my fresh digital camera pictures used to be a hell, now I can simply add new material, rerun album, and whopla, there it all is.
The idea of the captions file is very interesting! Avoids explicit renaming of the files, and allows writing comments as one likes. It would perhaps be interesting to treat directories in de same way? While pictures may be organised in the background using dull foldernames (e.g. 20010830), they might be presented using a more sensefull name (e.g. Holiday 2001).

Anyway, it's great that it's so compact and small, and command-line!
Keep on the good work!

    The captions file *does* treat directories the same way - try it! If you have any problems, let me know.

      Not quite works. The captions work on album page
      but on the the thumbnail page; the directory name is
      used instead.

[»] Making the album script work under windows
by TobySmurf - Aug 21st 2001 15:53:38

Wow, making album work under windows is as easy as putting cygwin on your windows PC so that windows can interpret ./ properly. Runs like a champ, and is *way* better than any for purchase album packages. Way to go Mr author! you da man!
