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
