Create HTML Gallery tool chrashes DK

[Andrej Valencic]

Hi Maik,

I tested the latest version so here are some observations:

- first time I ran this version it was ok with cca. 200 pictures
- then I tried with around 300 photos and DK crashed
- I tried again and now it crashes even with around 150 photos
- it runs OK with up to cca. 120 photos

Regards,
Andrej
