I have just slightly updated the description page of pView, a photo gallery viewer I had programmed in 2004/2005. I have in particular added a few screenshots. Feel free to use this software if you like it.
Summary of its features:
- Extremely easy to use: The photos within a folder are shown as thumbnail images, the sub-folders as sub-galleries.
- Comments may be added for each picture in the administration page.
- Possibility to navigate through the galleries/folder.
- Each picture is supported in 3 sizes: original size (e.g. 4 or 10 mega pixels), full screen (i.e. 800×600) and thumbnail (i.e. 320×240), so no need to archive separately the photos you manage with pView.
- Browsing between the pages inside a gallery (the number of pictures per page can be changed in the config).
- Access control of the folder: possible to define a login/password for selected galleries.
- Users’ management page: create, delete users and change their passwords.
- The design of the galleries is done through a generic html template that can be changed. In addition, if an html template is present in a particular folder, it will be used instead of the default template (customization of particular galleries).
- Automatic generation of the thumbnails through a shell script (I know, it would be better to have an on the fly generation of the thumbnails, should come in a future version).
