-a Write image dimensions and sizes under each thumbnail on the index page. This only works if the
ImageMagick command identify is present.
--ad Like -a but write only the image dimensions.
--as Like -a but write only the image sizes.
--bigy<n>
Like -y but operates on the image slides, not the thumbnails. Scales image slides to some medium
height (e.g. 400), adjusting their width accordingly. Useful if your digital camera spits out
large images, like 1600x1200. The originals aren't affected, but scaled copies of your images are
stored with the .slide prefix and thumbnails link to these copies. Clicking on the scaled copies
in the HTML slides lets users see the full unscaled images. You must use -f between two
consecutive runs when you've changed the value of --bigy.
-c First generate and then publish image slide captions. The first invocation of igal2-c generates a
.captions file that you may edit. The format of this file is very simple. You should only have
to enter your captions after the ---- separator. You may rearrange the image order at this point
and also leave out some pictures by simply placing a pound (#) sign at the beginning of their
respective lines. A second invocation of igal2-c will read your .captions file, include your
captions in the slides and rearrange them if necessary.
-C Like -c but preserve file names as captions when generating the .captions file (strips file name
suffix).
--conoptions
Command line options to pass on to convert or cjpeg internally (see their man pages). This
affects all thumbnails and, if --bigy is given, the medium-size slides too. You can set the
-quality or go crazy with -negate, -noise, etc. (the last two only work with convert if
ImageMagick is installed.
-d<dir>
Operate on image files in directory <dir>, which is also where the HTML and thumbnail files will
be generated. The default is the current directory.
-e Extract all EXIF tags from the images and display them on the image slides. This option needs
Image::ExifTool to be installed.
-f Force thumbnail regeneration. Also forces medium-slide regeneration if --bigy is given.
Otherwise igal2 will not regenerate these files if they already exist, and you may end up with
stale copies. Definitely use -f between two runs where you've changed the value of --bigy or
--con.
-h Display brief help, same as --help.
--help Display brief help, same as -h.
-i<file>
Name of the main thumbnail index file. The default is index.html, as desirable for most web
servers.
-k Use the image captions for the HTML slide titles. The default behavior is to use the image names.
-m<watermarkfile>
Add a watermark to each file. The parameter specified is another image file which will be
overlayed in the top left of the image with some transparency applied. This option requires
ImageMagick. The original images will be left in place with a '.unmarked' extension. You may wish
to delete those afterwards. If this option is specified on two consecutive runs, igal2 will detect
the .unmarked versions and not run it through the watermarking process again. Transparent GIF
files work well for this option.
-n Use the image file names for the HTML slide files. Otherwise the default behavior is to simply
name your slides 1.html, 2.html, and so on.
-o<URL>
Use this option if you are hosting the index files in a different location (e.g. a different
server) from the back end images/slides. This option adds the specified prefix into the URLs of
the slides. If you use this option, remember that until you move the files into the resulting
location, the gallery won't work properly.
-p<n> The cellpadding value of the thumbnail index tables. The default is 3.
-r Omit the film reel effect altogether. For a simpler look you can also set the thumbnail
background to be the same as the main index page background with the tile background-color option
in the igal2.css file.
-s For the simplest setup, omit all HTML slides. Clicking the thumbnails on the main page will just
take users to the plain image files.
-t<n> Height (in pixels) of the tiled image used to simulate the top and bottom "film reel" effect on
the thumbnail index page. This is 21 for the default .tile.png image used, but you should set it
otherwise if you replace that file with your own design.
-u Write image captions under each thumbnail on the index page. If you have a .captions file (see
options -c or -C) then the captions are read from there, else the file names are used (but the
file extension is stripped).
--pagination<n>
Maximum number of images on one page. If the given number of images is reached a new page is
started. Pagination number n should be a multiple of parameter -w (default 5). Default 0 - means
no pagination at all.
-w<n> Set the thumbnail rows to be <n> images wide in the main index file. Default is 5.
-x Omit the image count from the captions.
-y<n> Scale all thumbnails to the same height of <n> pixels. The default is 75 pixels.
--xy<n>
Scale thumbnails to <n> pixels along their longest dimension. This value is passed to pnmscale
and only works properly for jpg images.
--www Make all igal2 files world-readable.
--dest<dir>
Per default igal2 places all igal2 helper files (thumbnails, slidefiles, CSS, etc) in the
directory where the image files reside. With this option these files can be placed in a
subdirectory of the image directory.
--AddSubdir
If igal2 finds subdirectories below your image directory it will add links to this directories in
the index.html file. This is useful if you've a tree of image directories.
Example:
!
+ Vacation_Vienna (Image Directory)
!
+ .igal2-stuff (igal2 helper files)
+ Videos
+ Documents_of_interest
igal2 -d Vacation_Vienna --dest .igal2-stuff --AddSubdir
will put all helper files in .igal2-stuff, and generate links to the subdirectories "Videos" and
"Documents_of_interest" in the index.html file.
Note: igal2 will not work recursively, it just adds HREF links to the found directories.
