Ok thanks, I have incorporated all this in the development version with a few modifications : - I prefer an intelligent 'exif' default for the sort_by option rather than 'filename'. - I renamed 'name' to 'filename' to be more explicit. - I dropped the 'generate-metadata' default as this is a global switch that prevents any web gallery generation from happening. - I added an error message for an unknown sorting criterion. Please test if you have time to do so. Any comments welcome too. > Now, to make it _really_ stand out of the crowd, parallelize. > Number of threads should probably be another option, like make's -jn. I definitely need to work on this (no threads though because of the Python Global Interpreter Lock, so os.fork() it will be, which complicates things).
