Description

llgal supports all igal options and also add a few interesting features:

• Generate captions from image comments and timestamp
  llgal may extract EXIF, JFIF or GIF tags.
• Text or link only slides
  Special slides with only some text or one link may be added. For example, that's useful to split between different parts of a large gallery, give a link to an external webpage or to a file to download. Specific thumbnail addition is planned.
• Video slides
  Special slides may also link to some video files. Automatic extraction of of thumbnail from movies is planned.
• Subgalleries
  Support of recursive galleries stored in subdirectories with automatic linking from children to parent galleries and between children.
• Enhanced caption file
  The title of the gallery, and some headers and footers may be defined in the captions file.
• Highly configurable interface
  If you often use the same list of command line options but never remember them, llgal may generate a configuration file with options whose names are really explicit. This file may be placed in system-wide, user-wide, local or any subdirectory for future reuse.
• Proper file generation
  Instead of generating a huge mess in the gallery directory, llgal moves all non-HTML generated files to a specific subdirectory.
• Intelligent cleaning
  Instead of removing all generated files, llgal takes care of keeping the ones you modified (so that you won't loose your captions file by mistake). Real full cleaning remains also available.
• Several new options including
  • Change various predefined strings including link labels and the unit when displaying file sizes.
  • Change file extensions that are matched as image or movie.
  • Sort entries according to various criteria.
  • Update captions file if new images or movies were added.
• Much more CSS and XHTML1.1 compliant
