NAME

       jigl - Generates a static html photo gallery from one or more directories of images

SYNOPSIS

       jigl [ options ] [ directory ] [ directory ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       jigl  (pronounced jiggle) is a perl script that generates a static html photo gallery from
       one  or  more  directories  of  gif/jpg/png  images.  It  supports  themes  and  is   very
       customizable.  It includes the ability to display comments and EXIF info for each image in
       a simple clean layout.

OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For further details, see the
documentation in /usr/share/doc/jigl/

-h, --help
Show summary of options.

-v, --version
Show version of program.

-cg --create-gallerydat
Create a gallery.dat file and exit

-uec --use-exif-comment
Use the comment field in the exif header (if it exists) as the slide comment. This
will overwrite the description that is written in a gallery.dat file. If used in
conjunction with the -cg option, the comment field will be saved in the gallery.dat
file. Default is DISABLED. (can be negated).

-rs --replace-spaces <a|y|n>
Replaces spaces with underscores "_" in filenames.

a -- (default) Ask the user if they want to

y -- replace and do no ask

n -- do not replace and do no ask

-it --index-title <string>
Sets the title and title-bar of the index.html page to string. This is meant to be
used when you are not using a gallery.dat file.

-iw --index-width <1-255>
How many thumbnails per line you want on the index page. Default is 5

-ir --index-row <0-255>
The number of thumbnail rows you want on the index page before a new index page is
generated. If 0, there is no limit and only one index page will be generated.
Default is 0

-ut --update-templates
Remove the template files from the local directory and the global default theme
directory. This will cause new default template files to be generated in the global
default theme directory. Default is DISABLED. (can be negated).

-ft --force-thumb
Force thumbnail regeneration (can be negated)

-fs --force-slide
Force slide regeneration (can be negated)

-skb --slide-kbsize
Print the file size of the slide on the index page under the thumbnails. Default
is ENABLED (can be negated)

-sxy --slide-xysize
Print the slide dimensions under the thumbnails on the index page. Default is
ENABLED (can be negated)

-uo --use-original
Use the original images for the slides - do not generate a scaled slide image.
Default is DISABLED. (can be negated)

-lo --link-original
Link to the original images from the slides. Default is DISABLED. (can be
negated).

-aro --auto-rotate-originals
Do a lossless rotation of the original images. This option is only useful if your
digital camera sets the Orientation field in the EXIF header. All EXIF header
information will be kept and the Orientation field will be updated to reflect the
rotation. Default is DISABLED. (can be negated).

-gs --generate-slides
Gererate slide pages and link them to the thumbnails. If this option is turned
off, slides will not be generated and the info pages will be linked to the
thumbnails instead. If neither slide or info pages are generated, the thumbnails
will not link to anything. Default is ENABLED. (can be negated).

-gi --generate-info
Generate info pages and link them to the "info" link on the slide pages. If this
option is turned off, info pages will not be generated and the "info" link on the
slide pages will dissapear. If no slides are generated, then the info pages will
be linked directly to the thumbnails. Default is ENABLED. (can be negated).

-sy --slideY <int>
Maximum size of slide image in the Y direction. If the height of the original image
is greater than this value the slide will be scaled to this value. Otherwise the
slide is simply a copy of the original. Default is 480 pixels

-ty --thumbY <int>
Size of the scaled thumbnail image in the Y direction Default is 75 pixels

-iy --infoY <int>
Maximum size of the info image in the Y direction. This is simply a scale of the
slide image using HTML height and width tags. A new image is not generated.
Default is 240 pixels

-ws --watermark-slides
Enable watermarking of the slide images. A watermark file must be present for this
option to work. Default is DISABLED. (can be negated).

-wf --watermark-file <filename>
Name of the watermark file to use when -ws is enabled. Default is "watermark.png".

-gb --go-back
Prepend a "Go Back" link to the header in the index.html file. If used in
conjunction with -cg, the Go Back link will be added to the INDEX-HEADER tag in the
newly created gallery.dat file. Default is DISABLED. (can be negated).

-gbs --go-back-string <string>
String to use for the go-back-url link. You could even make this an image to help
round out a theme by making this string something like: "<img src=theme/myimage.gif
border=0>" Default is "Go Back".

-gburl --go-back-url <url>
URL to use when -gb is enabled. Any URL can be used. Default is '..', the previous
directory.

--theme <themeName>
Name of theme to use. Themes files are defined as "themeName.theme". You would just
enter the "themeName" portion of the file. Default is "default".

-wd --web-dir <dir>
Directory to put all the gallery files (html, slides, thumbnails and possibly theme
files) into. Unless a fully qualified path is used, this directory will be created
in the current directory. This option is not used if the -lo or -uo option is set.
Default is "web".

-r --recurse
Recurse through all directories on the command line. This option will omit all
directories named "slides", "thumbs", "theme", "web" and the value of -wd if that
option is set. This option will ONLY be recognized from the command line to help
prevent accidents. Note: Any options listed on the command line when using
recursion will be applied to all directories. Default is DISABLED.

-h --help
Display this information and exit

-v --version
Display version and exit

-d --debug <0-5>
Set debug level. Default is 0

[directories]
Directories to process. Default is . (current).

Note: If an option listed says it can be negated you can prefix it with "no"
and the opposite effect will happen. Useful for overriding options on the command
line that are set elsewhere. e.g. -nouo | --nouse-original will NOT use the
original files as slides.

SETTING OPTIONS

       Options can be used in any of three places: (listed ascending precedence)

       -- A single line in the $HOME/.jigl/jigl.opts file in the users home directory.

       -- After the GAL-OPTIONS tag as a single line in the gallery.dat file in each of the album
       directories.

       -- On the command line.

       Regardless of where they are located, they should all be listed in the same  form  as  you
       would use them on the command line. Example: -lo -iw 6 -noskb

       Theme  files  can  be  located  in either the directory jigl is processing or in the .jigl
       directory in the user's home directory.
