My Photo Gallery

Data, thumbnails, and various sizes for display are now kept in a separate directory leaving original photo directories untouched. The Web Manager script was completely rewritten, and now includes Web-based configuration. A commandline script for batch thumbnailing, resizing, and directory cleanup was added. Minor cosmetic changes were made throughout.

This release is much more customizable thanks to the use of templates, which makes it quick and easy to match the photo gallery to a site. Also added was a smaller viewing option for all pictures of 320 pixels in width, an option to turn off the shadows around each picture, password protection, and new PNG images for directories to allow for any color background that you wish. It no longer uses Image Magick's ping function to prevent incompatiblities between versions.

A major security bug which allows visitors to
view just about anything the script has access to
on your system has been fixed. There are a few
other minor bug fixes. An alpha version of the
ability to watermark all of your pictures with a
custom logo has been added.

The album display routines and the Web-based admin tool were completely
rewritten. My Photo Gallery now supports thumbnails, resizing, and rotating of
JPEG, GIF, and PNG files. Support was added for recognition of unlimited
filetypes with custom icons (20 or so are natively supported). Both images and
files can now be kept in your galleries. The admin tool now allows for rotation
of images. The EXIF data embedded in JPEGs (camera type, iso, shutterspped,
aperature, etc) is now extracted and displayed.

Compatability issues with the new ImageMagick
5.3.6 and above which caused the script to not
work have been fixed. The ImageMagick version may
now be specified in the config.
