SIG: Image Gallery (i.e. SIG, a recursive acronym) is a complete rewrite of the gallery and a successor to Simulacra Image Gallery. "Simulacra" will eventually be removed as a product name.
The thumbnail folder created by SIG is not compatible with previous versions. A crafy person could probably whip up a script to convert the old to the new. Perhaps this is a feature we will implement down the road.
SIG: Image Gallery is currently in "alpha" release. The program runs, typically without errors, but has only been currently tested in a Linux environment, with the following components:
- Apache/1.3.37
- php-5.2.2, 5.2.3
- ffmpeg-php-0.5.0, 0.5.1
- ffmpeg-export-2007-05-29, 2007-07-08
PHP was configured with:
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-ffmpeg'
Please feel free to download and test SIG: Image Gallery. There's currently no error checking if you don't have GD or ffmpeg-php.
SIG uses ffmpeg-php to generate thumbmails from the first frame of a movie file.
SIG no longer uses Imagemagick.
