A few months ago, I installed
Gallery on this server in hopes to have a decent way to publish my photos to the web. After playing with it for a day, I realized that it wasn't a good fit for me. I have thousands of photos I've kept on my desktop since 1999 (the day I got my first digital camera). I never really spent much time publishing any of them on the web except for a few random shots on
Yahoo! Photos -- but that really doesn't satisfy my needs either. Here's what I want in a photo gallery:
# Easy photo publishing
# Automatically generated thumbnails
# Automatically resized photos appropriate for the web
# Easy to customize (
standards based) UI
#
EXIF data display
Gallery can do 2-3, but falls short on 1 and 4. It can also do 5, but not the way I'm interested in.
