Well I got it running on my desktop RH7.2.  Nice--could function
as a nice frontend to what I have now probably, when I open up 
my family pictures archive when they want to upload.  It has
some nice features that I'm thinking about implementing (like 
captions).

one major issue I have is naming files.  the names of the
files on the filesystem that it produced is:

localhost.localdomain[55]% ls

aaa.highlight.jpg  aab.jpg	  aac.sized.jpg  aad.thumb.jpg	 serial.1.dat
aaa.jpg		   aab.sized.jpg  aac.thumb.jpg  album.dat
aaa.sized.jpg	   aab.thumb.jpg  aad.jpg	 album.dat.bak
aaa.thumb.jpg	   aac.jpg	  aad.sized.jpg  album.dat.lock

I have taken 300 digital pictures on my busiest month.  Unless
I have an html previewer I have no way of recognizing a file.


so anyway, my personal solution is to name my files as follows 
(machine generated):

find pictures -depth | more
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0001.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0002.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0003.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0004.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0005.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0006.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0007.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0008.jpg
pictures/2000/2000-03-mar/pic-2000-03-09-0009.jpg

(this explains my post about the ISO cd format I asked
about.)

which is helful when my picture archive grows to hundreds or
thousands (I think I have 1,300 now).   To locate a 
particular event I can just do 

  cd 2000 
  cd *mar
  ls
