Description Otto Sá 2012-02-03 14:39:23 CET 
I would lige to suggest to add to Mageia the software Igal2.
Igal2 (the successor of igal) is a quick and easy program for placing your images online with just one command-line. It generates a pretty good-looking set of W3-compliant static HTML slides even with its default settings. The slide show preloads the next image with JavaScript - ideal for slower links.
To try it out just run igal2 in a directory with jpg, gif or png files and check the output in a web browser. You can adjust the appearance of the image gallery with the many options listed on the features page or (if you know a bit of HTML) by modifying the .indextemplate2.html, .slidetemplate2.html, .directoryline2.html and igal2.css files that appeared in your image directory. igal2 also checks for the existence of a $HOME/.igal2 directory where users can store their own templates, overriding the site-wide /usr/local/lib/igal2.
 To check out what standard igal2 pages look like and how the generated pages work see the igal2  home page is at

Thanks a lot.

Igal2 The software is fantastic for this purpose, both for its simplicity and the quality of the generated html pages.
In its simplest form, just go to a directory containing the photos you want to include in html pages and type:
$ igal2
  
   Found 22 image files in directory.
   Creating thumbnails:. Thumb_foto-019.png. Thumb_foto-020.png
   . thumb_foto-021.png. thumb_foto-022.png. thumb_foto1.png. thumb_foto10.png
   . thumb_foto11.png. thumb_foto12.png. thumb_foto13.png. thumb_foto14.png
   . thumb_foto15.png. thumb_foto16.png. thumb_foto17.png. thumb_foto18.png
   . thumb_foto2.png. thumb_foto3.png. thumb_foto4.png. thumb_foto5.png
   . thumb_foto6.png. thumb_foto7.png. thumb_foto8.png. thumb_foto9.png ... done!
  
   Determining image sizes ...................... done!
   In CSS template file ... getting / usr/share/igal2/igal2.css
   In. Slidetemplate2.html file ... getting a copy from / usr/share/igal2 /
   Creating individual slides: 1.html 2.html 3.html 4.html 5.html 6.html 7.html
   8.html 9.html 10.html 11.html 12.html 13.html 14.html 15.html 16.html 17.html
   18.html 19.html 20.html 21.html 22.html ... done!
   In. Tile.png file ... getting a copy from / usr/share/igal2 /
   In. Indextemplate2.html file ... getting a copy from / usr/share/igal2 /
   Creating the index file (s) ...................... index.html done!

As we can see from the above, he does everything alone: ââcreate images index (thumbnails), html pages, one for each image and the image index.
But the beauty of the program igal2 is precisely its simplicity. However there are several other options that can be used to set the final result. Just read the documentation.
To install on Debian GNU / Linux and derivatives, just run as root the command:
   apt-get install igal2 . It would be great to find it out with Mageia by available on RPM.
