meillo@0 8
meillo@0 9 .SH DESCRIPTION
meillo@0 10 .B genwebgallery
meillo@16 11 Generates a web gallery of mentioned pictures. Only very minimalistic static HTML pages are generated. Copies of the pictures are resized to the defined sizes.
meillo@0 12 .PP
meillo@36 13 All generated content goes in a subdirectory which defaults to
meillo@36 14 .IR webgallery .
meillo@36 15 Or any other directory specified by \-\-output.
meillo@0 16 .PP
meillo@45 17 Files are skipped if resizing is not successful. So it depends on the resize program.
meillo@25 18 .PP
meillo@0 19 The
meillo@45 20 .BR mogrify
meillo@45 21 tool from ImageMagick, or
meillo@45 22 .BR resize\-gd
meillo@45 23 is required.
meillo@45 24
meillo@45 25 .B mogrify
meillo@45 26 is the prefered resizing tool, cause of its (assumed) better quality.
meillo@45 27 .B resize\-gd
meillo@45 28 on the other hand has much less dependencies, but still provides everything that's needed here. It is used, if
meillo@45 29 .B mogrify
meillo@45 30 is not installed. If none of them is available, the program will abort.

meillo@25 107 .SH BUGS
meillo@45 108 .B mogrify
meillo@25 109 fails the conversion of the XCF image format of GIMP, but it exits with 0 anyway. This looks like a bug in the
meillo@45 110 .B mogrify
meillo@25 111 program.
meillo@25 112 As result the image is added to the gallery but it is not viewable.
meillo@25 113 Other formats might be affected as well.
