DESCRIPTION

This program generates a static HTML pictures gallery . It makes two frames, but you can navigate without frames if you prefer :

• The left one, called menu with the thumbnails in column ;
  
• on the right panle, there's an average sized picture and it's meta-informations.
  

Some nice makesite features :

• Videos are also thumbnailled (requires mplayer being installed) ;
  
• EXIF fields are parsed and written (requires jhead) ;
  
• pictures are automaticly rotated if the camera handle the orientation (requires jhead and ImageMagick) ;
  
• Use of <link rel=``prefetch''> which allows pictures preloaded ;
  
• Use of other <link> tag for the navigation support ;
  

Needed softwares :

• ImageMagick - http://imagemagick.org
  
• jhead - http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead
  
• mplayer - http://mplayerhq.hu
