[juneau-lug] Re: webify jpeg script

Hello James,

Long time no hear.  Are you back home for a while? 

I didn't quit get what your goal is with this script.  If you just want 
to view jpg's locally why not use one of the many existing viewers that 
will auto-size them to your screen and why bother with html?  What am I 
missing here?

For web viewing, you may be interested in seeing another solution.  SCRY 
http://scry.org/ is nice and simple.  23k to download.  It uses GD lib 
for image manipulation and creates a thumbnail and intermediate size 
image on demand but caches them for future speed.  You organize your 
images by directory.  So updating your web pages is as simple as adding 
a image file (or symlink) into the structure.  Setup is fast (they claim 
2 minutes).

As it comes, SCRY doesn't do comments.  But it is able to report out 
exif data and exif data can contain a comment (limited to 256 chars, I 
think).  So I tweaked the code to have it display the embedded comment 
and that works fine. 

What other projects you working on these days?
