An auto-generating photo album. Just upload photos to the album folder and the software will do the rest.
This is an easy way to create a web based photo album. All you have to do is to upload your photos to the album folder. You can have any number of nested photo folders.
This software creates a photo album from a folder or a set of folders containing photos (ie. images). It takes complete care of folder navigation, thumbnails, photo popups, custom folder images, etc.
The software has a user-friendly "settings" interface that will allow you to configure most things, eg: number of photos per page, photo sizes, gallery name, background-color and text colour, etc.
There is a "readme.txt" file in the root folder. Read it.
To run the software you will need:
- a web server that has PHP support
- support for the GD php module (probably installed by default)
To customize the software you will need:
- a text editor and/or a web browser
For a gallery visitor, the only requirement is a browser that can render html and images. Any browser, that is.
This software does not depend on any third-parties to work and it does not call home. It uses no jQuery, no AWS, no googlewhatever, and no Facebook. No trackers, no frameworks, nothing. Everything required for this software to work is built in.
Please note that the default layout and design can and should be changed to suit your purpose and taste.
(Sidenote: Yes, the image popup window can be turned into a normal page display using the settings interface.)
To install the software, first unzip the downloaded file to an empty folder on your pc. Then, read the "readme.txt" file. Next, add photos to the folder and upload the lot to your web server. That's all.
To uninstall the software, just delete the software files. The software does not change your photos in any way.

I honestly have no idea as to the origin and history of this software. I've been using and maintaining it for more than a decade by now and I've never kept any type of history on it. I might have started it by following directions in some book or whatever, or improved on some project I've found somewhere else. It's been ages, and I just don't know.
