curator replacement
What's a good replacement for the curator photo album generating package? It was dropped from Debian at least a couple of years ago. I'd like something that doesn't suck performance wise due to python code that can't be optimized by psyco. Something that uses multiple processes or threads would be fantastic as I'll be running it on a dual CPU box, one that is rather old, 500 MHz CPUs. Curator is a serial single threaded process and thus only uses on CPU (or core). Basically I want the features of curator, but in something that runs much faster. Generating the individual image pages takes _forever_ on dirs with thousands of jpg files. I'm guessing if someone with the necessary python skill rewrote curator's function layout in a manner that psyco could optimize, that it would be plenty fast on the aforementioned machine. Currently it takes on the order of .5 seconds to generate each ~2K html page. A 500 MHz CPU should be able to generate at least 10 times as many html pages per second if the curator python code performance didn't suck. I'd like something similar that generates static image pages with the nice index pages curator does. A db driven system won't work for creating CDs full of images to distribute. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hi, I'm not using any photo album so I don’t know how this 2 works but they generate html/css/js without db. It seems that they are very customizable and that have lot of options. Both are in Perl. http://bins.sautret.org/ http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/ -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ Registered Linux User #503414 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've replaced curator with jigl for myself. Though I think I still have the last package I uploaded to Debian around. If someone dares to use it (I think jigl is much better) mail me and I'll dig it out but this should not go back into Debian. It's dead upstream and IIRC it still had some open issue.

godo put forth on 12/27/2010 2:01 PM: http://bins.sautret.org/ http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/ Camaleón put forth on 12/27/2010 2:01 PM: I dunno if photon (python based), imageindex (perl) or jigl (perl) can make use of multi-core/multi-threading capabilities but their features look pretty similar to curator. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Imageindex looks the most promising, so I'll give it a go first. jigl has limited multiprocessing support but I like the rest of imageindex better so far for my needs. I didn't care for sautret or album much at all. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
