the html gallery general philosophy is that it's a very simple gallery for quick export and that if you want something more complicated you should use a separate software.
however this statements has two "workarounds" * we are ready to take improvements to our existing gallery as patches. We have no web developement experts in the team and changes that respect the above philosophy could get in. Be sure to discuss those changes here or on IRC before investing too much time into them * there are two user-branches on github that support alternate gallery engines. you could check-out and try these and see if they fit your need On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 3:10 PM, John P Santos <[email protected]> wrote: > Re: export is missing jpeg settings.
