Project Description

BINS is a valid HTML 4 photo album generator with support for internationalization, EXIF, and customizable charset encoding, including UTF-8 (Unicode). Albums can contains other sub-albums. The appearance of the album can be fully personalized by using template and configuration parameters. The number and size of scaled pictures can be chosen in pixels or percentage of the original image. Several description fields (date, location, etc.) can be associated with the pictures, and you can add additional description fields. A command line utility or a GTK+ GUI can be used to set or edit description fields. BINS can use the EXIF data structure found in some pictures to automatically fill some fields (most notably, date and time) and to produce a page providing all information available on the picture, as well as the DigiCam settings when the photo was taken. All image meta-data are stored in XML files.

1.1.6

Rotation can be performed on destination images, thus, original images can be preserved. A priority attribute was added in the exif tag in XML desc files to use value from desc file instead of exif data from image file. The title HTML attribute is used to show tooltips on some items. The current album thumbnail is now displayed in sub-albums page if it has pictures. A bug on sample images with special characters in the file name has been corrected. Man pages have been added. This release includes bins-edit-gui 0.4, which supports the EXIF rotation tag.

1.1.5

A GTK+ graphical interface has been added to edit image description fields. An "ignore" directive has been added with a command line option, so that entire albums can be ignored. There is a new option to add link to .xml description files in HTML album, to ease the edition of description fields. Number, sizes, and size names of scaled images can be personalized in config files or per album. BINS uses generic "Software" and "Owner" exif tags instead of Canon-specific ones. Some other functionalities and corrections have also been made.
