xSite 0.6

xSite project is an HTML album generator.
Main features:
- Handles the whole publishing workflow from images to HTML - youre expected to use something else (like digikam) to organize, tag, manage etc. your photos
- Pure, standards-compliant, static xHTML without Javascript or tables
- All image comments are extracted from the actual images (no funny separate text or XML files)
- Efficient method for refreshing albums (subsequent runs only update images where needed)
- Minimalistic requirements: only exiv2 and ImageMagick are required (no MySql, no PHP, no X server even)
Installation and usage:
- Get the scripts: xsite-0.1.tar.gz
- Install the requirements mentioned above (present in most Linux distributions)
- Untar the scripts, read the README and edit xsite for generic changes (album author field etc.)
- Run it as xsite outputdir ~/tmp/MyPictures. The outputdir directory, a new subdirectory called MyPictures within, assorted thumbnails and HTML files will be created for you.
- Check out outputdir/index.html from any browser. Enjoy!
Enhancements:
- Bugfixes to the new RSS generation code.
- The ability to sort RSS feeds by image modification time.
- Minor cleanups.
