PhotoIndex
photoindex is a simple Java program for consutructing
HTML browsing indices for directories containing pictures in JPEG
format, and movie clips. For each directory, the program creates a
thumbnail for each picture, and an entry in an HTML index page. These
index pages and thumbnails allow the pictures to be viewed
conveniently using a Web browser, as clicking the thumbnail loads the
full picture. By pointing a Web browser at `index.html' at the top of
the directory hierarchy you can browse all the pictures by their
thumbnails. photoindex places the indexes in files called
`index.html' in each directory in the hierarchy. This makes it
possible to point the browser at any directory in the set, not just at
the top-level directory.
photoindex is customizable and configurable. It supports JPEG
and most movie-clip file formats (AVI, MPG, etc).
The latest version now supports a `slideshow' mode, which makes the
Web browser display the images in sequence without user intervention.
I wrote this program to make it easier to browse photos captured with
a digital camera. Although software to do this is supplied with most
cameras it (a) is not very flexible and (b) usually only runs under
Windows. photoindex is a Java program and should run on
anything.
There are currently two version of photoindex available:
version 1.3, which is stable, and version 3.0 which is a much better
program, but not as thoroughly tested. Version 3.0 also includes more
meaningful set-up and usage instructions.
Version 1.3
For more information on version 1.3, see the
version 1.3 README file.
