tsPhoto

The aim of this photo album is simplicity.

To accomplish a simple photo album I took this into consideration:

• Should be as simple as drag'n'drop files into directories
• Pack pictures into archive and unpack on another server running tsPhoto
• Do not require user to scale images, but rather works with originals
• Do not modify originals
• No database

File system

The current code uses the file system to enumerate albums (directories) and pictures (files). Providing the right permissions are set, the web server running the PHP can automatically create (and save) thumbs.

Style

The style used for the photo album is one that is familiar with most people. It's an XP style look, with thumbs displayed on folders. This could be easily changed through CSS and changing the php that generates the album preview picture. If you do want a static image you can drop in a file called .thumb.album.jpg and it will use that instead. As I said, simplicity.
