Can someone please refer me to a program that could generate an xml file with a reference to all images within a specified folder? I have over 300 images to reference and I don't want to type them all in manually.

e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
<album title="Nature" description="Images of trees, lakes and flowers" lgPath="/gallery/album1/large/">
<img src="001.jpg" />
<img src="002.jpg" />
<img src="003.jpg" />
<img src="004.jpg" />
<img src="005.jpg" />
<img src="006.jpg" />
</album>
</gallery>

Thanks!

The xml format isn't exactly the same as what you're looking for, but other than that, Exif Harvester can help.

Hi, this is quick and dirty but, if you are using Linux, Unix, Mac, or have the cygwin package on windows, the following bash script would do it

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! "$2" ] ;
then
        echo "usage: genGallery title description"
        exit 2;
fi

title=$1
desc=$2
curDir=$(pwd)

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
echo "<gallery>"
echo "<album title=\"$title\" description=\"$2\" lgPath=\"$curDir\">"
ls *.jpg | sed "s/^\(.*\)$/<img scr=\"\\1\" \/>/"
echo "</album>"
echo "</gallery>"

then you could execute it with:
# ./genGallery "Nature" "Images of trees, lakes and flowers"

The XILG program is intended to automate the process of building simple thumbnail web pages. It has a very simple and self explanatory user interface.

Requirements:

· This program only runs on Windows XP and Windows .NET Server. I suppose you could try to get it to work on Windows NT 4.0 SP6, Windows 2000 and Windows 98/Me, but it requires the GDI+ libraries from Microsoft and 9x/Me will also require the Microsoft Layer for Unicode. If you don't have Internet Explorer 6 or above, you will need to install MSXML v3. There may be other requirements too. Use XP.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have to do it manual because the syntax is specific but these tools seem very handy and I will hang-on to them for future reference.

As a programmer, I always say never do anything manually more than once
;-)

good luck
