Free cheetah pictures software for linux

pyctures is a small web gallery written in Python that uses the web.py framework. It does not use any database and stores all the necessary data in the filesystem.
pyctures is published under the BOLA (Public Domain), so you can run the software anywhere, and do whatever you want with it.
Installation:
The installation procedure depends on the HTTP server youre using. What follows is a list of procedures for some common HTTP servers. If you use pyctures with something else, please let me know so I can add it here.
After youve completed the install, read the "Administration" file to learn how to manage your gallery.
Common procedure
1. Copy the "website" directory to a suitable place where you want to install
pyctures. It does not have to be inside your website, but has to be
readable by your webservers user.
2. Create a "config.py" file based on the "config.py.sample" file, and edit it
according to your configuration. A really important setting is the album
path, where all albums will be stored. It can be anywhere you want. Create
an admin user so you can create albums using the web interface.
3. Make sure the album path is writeable by the user who will run the pyctures
application. It usually is your web server user.
4. Install PIL from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/. The package name
for most distributions is "python-imaging" or just "imaging".
5. Install cheetah from http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/. The package name for
most distributions is "python-cheetah" or just "cheetah". You need at least
version 2.0-rc5.
No server (stand-alone)
pyctures can be run without any HTTP server by just executing
"./pyctures [PORT]" directly on the website directory. Its useful for
testing and small sites. I recommend that you test everything works this way
before integrating it into a webserver.
lighttpd
First of all, install "flup", from http://www.saddi.com/software/flup/.
Gentoo: Its not in portage, it sucks. Check
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100784
Debian: apt-get install python-flup
Now, lets suppose youve installed pyctures in the "/var/www/pyctures"
directory, and want to publish it under the "/pics/" directory.
You need to add the following to /etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf (or just
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf if you dont have the other file):
---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------
fastcgi.server = (
"/pics" => ((
"socket" => "/tmp/fastcgi-pics.socket",
"max-procs" => 1,
"bin-path" => "/var/www/pyctures/pyctures"
))
)
---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------
This is enough, but be aware that "http://mysite/pics" (note the missing
"/" at the end) will *not* be redirected to pyctures.
If you want to be able to refer to your pyctures root both as
"http://mysite/pics/" and "http://mysite/pics", you need to add the
following in the same file as before:
---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------
url.redirect = (
"^/pics$" => "/pics/"
)
---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------
And then create an empty file in your document root called "gallery",
otherwise lighttpd will think the path does not exist and return 404 before
doing the redirection.
Enhancements:
- This version implemented pagination, IE support, and automatic thumbnail regeneration on config changes.
- It also improved performance considerably, reduced the memory footprint, added Apache installation instructions, and included several other minor improvements.

libptp2 is a library used to communicate with PTP devices like still imaging cameras or MP3 players (KODAK mc3).
You can download files or tweak camera properties using ptpcam program boundled with libptp2.
Supported Cameras
The list of cameras implementing PTP is constantly growing. Most (if not all) USB still cameras designed after 2002 are supporting PTP. Below is the list of vendors implementing PTP in their cameras:
- Kodak
- HP
- Nikon
- Canon
- Panasonic
- Olympus
- Konica
- Minolta
- Fuji
- Ricoh
- Sony
More are comming...
Please note that if your camera is supporting PTP it does not mean that it is capable of performing all PTP operations (like trigerring capture, uploading files or tweaking properties). Sony cameras are good example of poor PTP implementation where the only thing you can do is downloading files. Sony even breaks the USB specification assigning all its cameras the same product/vendor IDs so dont buy Sony if you want to stay out of problems.
Currently most PTP features are supported. Uploading/downloading files, taking pictures and setting camera properties is supported as long as your camera supports it. However there are many Vendor Extensions that are not supported.
For example Canon uses some proprietary extension operations to take pictures (entering capture mode, extending lens and so on), Nikon introduces proprietary PTP properties.
Unfortunately I have access to couple of Kodak cameras only so to help support extension features you may send me a patch or donate/lend the camera.
Enhancements:
- A number of bugs were fixed, including leaving the camera in an unpredictable state when an I/O error occurs.
- The projects own reimplementation of the old libusb interface (IOCTL_USB_BULK) is used instead of the new URB interface, which is 20% to 50% slower and sometime leads to I/O errors.
- File time preservation across download was added.
- Better capture support was added.
- A bug that caused files over 2MB to be corrupted while downloading was fixed.
- The --loop-capture feature was added.
- Configure errors and parralel build with make -j were fixed.

Photo resize is a service menu for KDE that changes the selected pictures to the chosen size (550x550px, 500x500px, 450x450px,200x200px,150x150px).

The geometry will be hold. The script will size the pictures to their longer side.
