Getting Started

Let's say we have the following file structure:

holidays/
  day1/
    pic1.jpg
    pic2.jpg
    pic3.jpg
    thumnails/
      pic1.jpg
      pic2.jpg
      pic3.jpg
  day2/
    pic1.jpg
    pic2.jpg
    pic3.jpg
    thumnails/
      pic1.jpg
      pic2.jpg
      pic3.jpg

To generate and open your gallery invoke the following:

$ galgen init path/to/holidays
$ galgen build --open path/to/holidays

• One or more directories with the pictures are required.
• Define content of your gallery in gengal-config.yml
• Customize layout in index.html.j2

Rebuild your gallery whenever pictures are added/removed or other changes applied.

$ galgen build --force path/to/holidays

Thumnails

• Thumnails are optional. Skip them (for simplicity) or generate manually (for performance).
• Size of the thumnails is of your choice.
• Filenames of the thumnails must correspond to the filenames of the full-scale pictures.
