===================================================

sigal is yet another python script to build a static gallery of images:

* process directories recursively,
* resize images and create thumbnails,
* generate html pages using jinja2 templates and with relative links for a portable output.

Dependencies
------------

- Python Imaging Library (PIL)
- Jinja2
- pyexiv2 (optionnal, used to copy exif metadatas)

Usage
-----

    $ sigal [-h] [--version] [-c COPYRIGHT] [-f] input_dir output_dir

### required arguments

    input_dir	      input directory
    output_dir	      output directory

### optional arguments

    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    --version             show program's version number and exit
    -c COPYRIGHT, --copyright COPYRIGHT
                          copyright message added to the images
    -f, --force           force the reprocessing of existing images and
                        thumbnails

Settings
--------

Options can be set globally in `~/.config/sigal/sigal.conf` and in the source
directory `input_dir/sigal.conf`.

* theme:
	theme = default
* size of resized image:
	img_size = 640x480
* prefix for thumbnails name:
	thumb_prefix = TN-
* thumbnail size and directory:
	thumb_size = 150x112
        thumb_dir = thumbnail
* keep big image:
	big_img = 1
	bigimg_dir = original
* generate squared thumbnails:
	square_thumb = 1
* jpeg quality:
	jpg_quality = 90
* keep exif metadatas in output image:
	exif = 1
* add a copyright text on the image:
	copyright = the copyright msg

Album information
-----------------

Information on an album can be given in a file named `album_description` (else
the directory's name is used) :

	album_name = "An example gallery"
        album_description = "And a cool description."
        album_representative = "test1.jpg"
