It could be crashing because you don't necessarily have 20 arguments. in which case you'll be feeding strcmp either garbage or NULL, either of which would cause it to crash. You'll need to remember how many arguments parseargs found(maybe put it through its return value instead of 'void'?)
In any case I don't think strcmp will do what you want. It returns 0 when the two strings are exactly the same, meaning, it'll only match on a line with no newlines containing nothing but &. I think you want strstr or strchr instead, see their man pages.

I'm surprised this even compiled, a break in the default section is mandatory in some common compilers.
Imagine case 0 without the break. If execvp() fails and doesn't catch the error it might keep going, and print "DEBUG: child finished" because the case statements don't tell it where to end, just where to begin. But with the break, it will leave that section of code entirely like you expected it to do.

photon
PHOTON(1)PHOTON(1)NAME
photon - generates photo albums
SYNOPSIS
photon [OPTIONS] [PATH]
DESCRIPTION
Photon generates clean, yet configurable, static HTML photo galleries. All of the work is done from the command line, and the resulting
output can easily be configured by changing the template files found in /usr/share/photon/templates.
To create a new template (skin), first create a new directory:
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.photon/templates/my_theme/
Then copy the contents of /usr/share/photon/templates/photonv1/ to this new directory. Photon only needs three files to build pages:
index.html
used to display the content of a folder
image.html
used to display the page for an image
movie.html
used to display the page for a movie
If a file is missing, then photon will throw an error and will not run.
HOW TO BUILD A GALLERY
Quick start
$ photon -o myoutputdir /photos
Use the gimp plugin
$ photon --resize-plugin=gimp -v -o myoutputdir /photos
Change the size for all images and the thumbnail and keep the original photo
$ photon --sizelist=0,1600x1200,800x600 --thumbsize=320x240 -o myoutputdir /photos
Create a gallery from your custom template (skin)
$ photon -k my_theme -o myoutputdir /photos
