I have used Coppermine and then recently switched to Gallery, but had problems updating it. So, I figured I would see what others had to say about what a good photo gallery software program would be. Free of payware doesn't matter. I'm particularly interested in mass uploading of images, nothing I hate more than only being able to upload 5 or so at a time (makes for a long day). Also, I want something my users (viewers only) will like as far as functionality.
Coppermine was nice because people could create their own accounts and establish a favorites folder. But I hated that you could only upload 5 pics at a time.
Gallery was nice because of a Java Applet that enabled you to upload as many pics as you wanted into the album you wanted.

Any other good ones out there?

Thanks,

I use Coppermine, and actually you can add more than 5 pictures at a time using the batch add-function (by uploading them through ftp and then adding them in the admin section). I wouldn't change it for anything. Unless someone comes up with something better, and I haven't seen that happening. The only trouble I've had with Coppermine is that it is tough to combine with content management systems.

Coppermine and Gallery are actually the best ones you'll find for free. They can both do just about anything you want them to do.

I actually found one that I like better than both of those......Linpha. I simply make the folders on my computer and put whatever pics I want in them (including subfolders) and then just upload the whole thing using FileZilla. Works great and I like the user interface as well.
Thanks for the help though.

That's great. I've never actually heard of Linpha, I'm glad it's working well for you.
