Why does it need to be installed? Wouldn't just a CD with folders to
organize the photos suffice?

Hi All!
The end of the school year is a busy time... I've been a bit swamped,
but I have an urgent and important question for which I hope some
PDMLers might have some good suggestions.
My kid's school teacher asked to put together photos (mine and
teachers') so that they will given on a CD to each kid in the class.
(I've been taking a lot of photos at various school events throughout
the year.)
So, I am thinking how to structure that CD. So, all your practical
suggestions are welcome.
Here is the way I am thinking about it right now:
1. The simplest thing would be just to have a bunch of folders that are
titled as date+event name.
Since it should be easy for the end-users (parents, and not all of them
a computer-comfortable or even computer-literate), I am thinking if it
would be better to build also simple HTML galleries (in addition to just
photos).
Personally, as a customer, I'd prefer just a simple set of folders with
JPEGs to be viewed by a "standard" (or customer-installed) photo viewer,
but I am a bit more computer-literate... What do you think?
2. I can set "autorun.inf" for Windows to start something... (e.g. the
main index.htm file if I were to create web-galleries)
While there are ways to do the same for Mac, e.g. by following this
scenario:
http://jordan.broughs.net/archives/2008/03/creating-cross-platform-windows-and-mac-installer-cds
I don't have an easy access to a Mac, so, it is not an option for me...
So, most likely, even if I were to do that for Windows, nothing special
will be done for a Mac.
3. From what I understand, starting from OS-X, a joliet-format CD is not
a problem for a Mac anymore (i.e. I don't need to worry about building a
"hybrid"-format CD).
But I wonder, with a modern Mac, what happens when you insert a CD with
a set of folders containing JPEGs into a Mac: will it offer to open a
photo viewer (if nothing is configured to happen as discussed in #2 above)?
4. I assume some of you may have provided your customers with a CD of
photographs. What type of format did you do in that case? Anything
beyond just a simple set of JPEGs?
Thank you,
Igor
