[[!meta title="Static image gallery generator comparison (FOSS)"]]
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This document describes several static image gallery generators,
|
|
their advantages and disadvantages. All of them are FOSS and
|
|
have been tested under a Unix like operating system.
|
|
If you have any kind of update, do not hesitate to
|
|
[[contact me|about]]. I am using a downscaled sample directory
|
|
(**basis**) for testing.
|
|
|
|
I'm not referencing the navigation, but only "Next Image", because
|
|
this is probably the most often used navigation part.
