export to html gallery

[Stefano Stabellini]

Hi all,
I have just bought my first digital camera so I started using digikam.
First I want to say that digikam is really impressive both as simplicity
and power, certainly one of the best kde desktop apps ever.
I really want to thank all the developers for this.
Since I have a little website I tried exporting my galleries to HTML,
and again digikam did the job very well.
Too bad that the second time I wanted to export a gallery I had to
export also the first one because if I didn't the index.html was
overwritten with only the new gallery.
Not a problem with 2-3 galleries but try to image what would happen with
50-60 galleries...
To overcome this problem I wrote a little python script that take the
main html galleries directory and a temporary directory with only the
last published gallery and merge them.
It took me only a couple of hours and I'm really new to python, so I
guess that for you would be really easy to add this feature.
Hoping to be a little helpful I attached my script to this mail.
Again thanks for the good job,

Stefano Stabellini

Well, if you want to contact developpers, this is not the right way to post
this script or reporting a problem. I don't know exactly witch tool you have
used :

- Gallery Export
- HTML Export

... Both are kipi-plugins and are developped outside digiKam core
(http://www.kipi-plugins.org). Kipi developpers are in others mailling list :

If your goal with this mail is to contact developpers, please post your
message in this ML. Thanks in advance.
