>> Hi all,
>>
>> I just completed the port to Qt5 of old HTML Export tool to digiKam
>> core. It's now named HTML gallery.
>>
>> To remember the goal of this tool, It able to make a static HTML web
>> site depending of contents selected from digiKam libraries. Dmitri
>> blog explain well how to use it :
>>
>> https://scribblesandsnaps.com/2011/04/26/generate-html-photo
>> -galleries-with-digikam/
>>
>> So what's new in this tool :
>>
>> 1/ it's now in digiKam core and not shared. Why ? because the only way
>> to improve this tool is to use digiKam API directly. Also the
>> maintainer disappear since more than 6 years now. So i take the code
>> and ported, polished, fixed , improved the implementation as i want to
>> see it. This take one week with the help of Maik.
>>
>> 2/ The tool will be available in Showfoto too (it's not yet done). I
>> written a small interface to permit to use this tool without to depend
>> of digiKam database. This interface is not shared with the rest of the
>> world.
>>
>> 3/ It's now able to use current selection of images from digiKam icon
>> view instead to use albums selection. Both mode are available when you
>> start the wizard dialog.
>>
>> 4/ The HTML gallery is themable and new theme was imported in the
>> tool. Especially the Elegant theme is just wonderful. It use
>> Javascript in background and it's my preferred.
>>
>> 5/ As we now depend of digiKam core, we can use all the API available
>> as well. Especially, it's planed to support Video files through the
>> new HTML5 API.
>>
>> If you want to see a preview of this tool in action, look in this Flickr
>> album :
>>
>> https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/albums/72157681648466300
>>
>> The tool use HTML+CSS and can use Javascript in background. You, the
>> end users can write new theme is you have some skill in web
>> technologies.
>>
>> There is a HOWTO describing how to process a new theme creation :
>>
>> https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/data/htmlgallery/themes/THEME_HOWTO
>>
>> If something is not clear or is missing, please let's me hear.
>>
>> The current theme list is just near the HOWTO file :
>>
>> https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/data/htmlgallery/themes
>>
>> I recommend to take a look to "simple" theme, one of easy to
>> understand. The "elegant" theme is more complex.
>>
>> I call also through this message about people who have downloaded or
>> archived one old theme that i cannot restore from the web, as kde-look
>> web site is down :
>>
>> "vanilla" theme by Wojciech Jarosz :
>>
>> https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20150911014820/http://kde-l
>> ook.org/content/show.php/Vanilla+theme+for+DigiKam%2BKipi+
>> HTML+Export?content=63079
>>
>> Voilà, i hope that you will enjoy with this tool.
