PreviewGen

PreviewGen is a tool for generating previews from photo galleries at source location. Previews are created in target location where the source structure is copied but images are replaced with compressed and resized copy. Basic idea is to provide a preview of a full size gallery with a reasonable size and quality.

Instalation

PreviewGen is deployed to pypi and can be therefore easily installed using pip.

$ pip install previewgen

Usage

After installation preview-gen command should be available from command line.

$ preview-gen
usage: preview-gen [-h] config_file
