PROGRAM:
NAME
cthumb - a themable web picture album generator
SYNOPSIS
cthumb -c [options] imagefile ... > file.album
cthumb [options] file.album
DESCRIPTION
Cthumb creates themable web picture albums with thumbnails of all the pictures, comments
for each picture, etc. Cthumb allows you to create web picture albums, i.e. collections
of digital pictures, with small thumbnails of your pictures and with captions. In
addition, it allows you to have several views of the collection of pictures. An album is
composed of a series of pages, each composed of a collection of pictures. For each album
page may optionally have two or more versions, like for instance in English, Spanish,
German, French, etc. So your visitors would go into the English version of the web album,
into the Spanish version, etc.
Typically (this is what I use it for and why I wrote the program), you accumulate lots and
lots of digital pictures and you need to label them and sort them out. Perhaps also you
have friends and family that speak different languages. This program lets you very easily
make picture albums and have the same pictures labelled in one or more languages.
You can customize almost everything in the way the albums look on the screen, from the
size of the thumbnails to the background and foreground colors, the border colors, whether
you want film-strips and their picture, etc.
OPERATION
Cthumb has two modes of operation. The first one, which is active when option -c is
specified, prints an album file, via stdout, comprising all the images given as arguments
to the command line. This is the first thing you need to do if you have never tried this
program before, just to get you started. Once you have an album file, you edit it and put
comments to the pictures, titles to the album pages, etc. In this mode, all the provided
options in the command line will be passed through to the album file. See the format of
the album file in section ALBUM FILES below.
The second mode is the regular mode, the one that actually creates web pages, given the
album file, so it is the one that does the real work of the script. Given an album file,
cthumb generates web pages containing picture albums and an index with links to all the
albums generated.
Cthumb creates several HTML files, one per "Page" in the album.
Check the README file (probably in /usr/doc/cthumb*/README) for more detailed info.
