Usage

Getting started

Make sure jigl.pl in your path so it can be run from anywhere.
/usr/local/bin is always a good place.

Baisc

• Change to the directory with your images in it.
• run jigl.pl
• Check the web/ directory for your web page
• Yep. It's really that simple.

• Download or create a theme. Put it in $HOME/.jigl/themes/theme-name
• Change to the directory with your images in it.
• run jigl.pl --theme theme-name
• Check the web/ directory for your web page

• Change to the directory with your images in it.
• run jigl.pl -cg This will create a gallery.dat file in the current directory.
• Edit the gallery.dat file with your favorite editor.
  • Change the title of the page
  • Add a header and/or footer to the index page
  • Add captions to your photos
  • Specify any gallery specific options
• When you're done editing the file, save it and rerun jigl.pl
• Check the web/ directory for your web page

• Run jigl.pl dir1 dir2 ... dirN
• Or run jigl.pl -cg dir1 dir2 ... dirN the -cg option will cause a gallery.dat file to be created in each directory.
• If you created the gallery.dat files for each directory, edit and save them.
• Rerun jigl.pl dir1 dir2 ... dirN

• If you have a directory with many picture directories underneath it you can now run: jigl.pl -r topLevelDir
• Or run jigl.pl -r -cg topLevelDir to create a gallery.dat file in each sub directory.
• If you created the gallery.dat files for each directory, edit and save them.
• Rerun jigl.pl -r topLevelDir

• Create your watermark image. I like to use .png files because you can make nice semi-transparent images.
• In a directory with images run jigl.pl -ws -wf path/to/watermark_file This will place the watermark image over all of the slide images. The default location for the watermark is in the "southeast" corner of the image. Use the -wg option to specify a different location if desired.
