I generate my photo albums using a simple script from

it seems quite popular (search for the word "album" on google, it's
the first hit).
My own album started around the thumbnail script from the same maker -
rewritten in PHP nowadays :-)
It's been tackled in similar way to the
existing support for gallery.sourceforge.net.
I think it would be nice if mythgallery was enhanced with a setting (a
regular expression or something) to indicate directories/files to be
excluded, instead of hardcoding those directory names...
There I was, wondering how much effort it'd be to pick up albums
"captions.txt" file and do something useful with it, and I come across
this mailling list thread. (I'm patching 0.18.1, so until this thread,
I've been unaware of any specific captions support.) On reading
Herman's initial mail, it sounded like the perfect answer to my
problem.
I don't think this will get in, altough I wouldn't mind. If you leave out
the setting, or set it to "EXIF" or something, use the data from the
header. But I like the road of least resistance, so I'll make a tiny PHP
script to insert my captions into the images, and only have the display of
captions in my next mythgallery patch.
Just another 2 cents. Seeing that your Album software is Perl and that
Perl has EXIF support in a number of ways, it seems it would be a better
use of everyone's time that you extend your prefered software to use the
"standard" EXIF instead of a proprietary captions.txt and someone do the
same for Myth and they will then be integrated as you desire plus it
integrates with every other album software known to man that supports
EXIF as well.
Given that the proposed solution is already available as a patch, but
rejected, adding retrieval of EXIF captions on top of that is just a much
use of everybody's time as I'll need to add that anyway to get it committed
in the first place... I'm guessing that adding EXIF-captions is less than a
handful of lines of code anyway.
