Package: igal Version: 1.4-12 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I'm a fan of igal. It does a great job. But it seems that the upstream author does not support it anymore (the last release is 2 years old now). The Debian wishlist for igal contains very interesting things that have been proposed for a long time without going in. This is the reason why I started a forked version of igal. It's currently called llgal (but it will probably change). Almost all igal's perl code has been rewritten. I'm not sure mine is cleaner but I hope so. Here's a quick list of llgal improvements over igal: * Generates captions from exif comments and/or timestamp. * Support video files: slides and thumbnails are currently a text link to the video file. But I am working on extracting thumbnails from the video. * Support for slides that only contain some text (or links): I like adding text slides between different parts of a gallery. * Highly configurable interface: I often use the same list of command line options but I never remember them. llgal can generate a configuration file with options whose names are really explicit. This file may be placed as /etc/llgalrc, $HOME/.llgalrc or a local .llgalrc file for future reuse. * Don't create a total mess in the gallery directory: by default, all generated (except HTML) files are placed under the .llgal.files/ subdirectory. * Intelligent cleaning: instead of just removing everything with --clean, llgal only remove files that you didn't modify. --cleanall is added to really remove everything. This avoid loosing by mistake the caption file you just wrote. * Support for external thumbnail is planned: if you want a specific thumbnail for your link or video slide, you will be able to give it to llgal. * Support for subgalleries in subdirectories is under development. * Allow to define the title, and some headers and footers in the caption file. * Allow to specify the unit when showing file size. * The gallery should be much more CSS and XHTML1.1 valid. llgal is available as a tarball or debian package in http://bgoglin.free.fr/llgal/ I'd like llgal to enter Debian, either replacing igal or as a new package. I can either maintain llgal upstream or both upstream and the Debian package if you're insterested.
