I have used several different photo albumn systems, and they all have
their flaws. I have been using Gallery (http://gallery.sourceforge.net/)
for a while now, and it does all of the things that you need, including
the comments.

I second the gallery nomination, I've been playing with gallery on my
personal site: http://www.karas.net/gallery

Has a lot of cool features (print an image from ifoto.com or similar
services), java-based management clients for PC's, etc...

Nope - I'm talking about a fairly obscure one written quite some time
ago by a guy I knew.  It's called phpix ( http://phpix.sf.net ).

 My feature requirements are that it be able to handle multiple albums,
 have sub albums/folders, and most importantly, needs to allow the
 viewer to choose the resolution they wish to view at.  It would be nice
 if it also supported me being able to add comments to the pictures as
 well.
 
 I've found yappa-ng and r.i.g. that seem to do what I want, but I'm
 not familiar with either.  Anybody have feedback or suggestions?

I've been using 'zoph' for a few weeks and am pretty happy with it.  
That said, it is not accessible to anyone but me, but could be. 

Things I like about it:

* web-based *and* command line interface

* stores lots of meta data in MySQL -- photographer, people in the
  picture, location, date, all the exif stuff, mulitple user-defined
  categories, mulitple, user-defined albums...
   
* different way to look at photos -- pictures of Spencer taken by Marc
  and date after 11-March-1999 and category is 'Destination Imagination'

* Export to static photo albums  - 'bins', 'albums' and zoph 
  formatted HTML.  Handy to burn for CD archives or give to non-internet
  relatives.

* Light boxes, multiple users with difference privileges, user ratings
  of photos, etc...

The project hasn't had a release in a while, but the developer is still
around.   I started with the version in debian/testing (apt-get install
zoph), but have since pulled the latest files from their CVS tree.

Obscure?  I've been using it at home since version 1x  and it's now
located at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpix2/
Very easy to customize too... I added in a few lines that would include
a notes file located in each album directory to describe the pictures in
that group.

After exhaustive review, I decided on something called Album. You can see 
mine at http://steveo.syslang.net/album and at the bottom of every page is 
a link to Dave's Marginal Hacks so you can get the software. It does 
everything I want and it does it without PHP or MySQL. It just produces 
good old-fashioned HTML.

Sorry but I don't have any suggestions for other software. :-( But I'd 
like to know too. Especially if it's written in perl since my perl 
skills are WAY better than my php.

You never actually specify what software you're trying to move away from.
That might be relevant for anyone trying to make suggestions :)

aol /

I've also been looking for something like this. 

The most popular application for this kind of thing seems to be PHP
Gallery http://gallery.menalto.com/, but I wasn't very impressed with
what I've seen of it. (Why do PHP engines always look so... amateur? Or
something, I can't put my finger on it, but the tiny sans-serif fonts and 
the near-ubiquitous smiley icons really grate on me for some reason...)

SpiderEyeBalls http://www.spidereyeballs.com/ is IMO much slicker than
Gallery, but it may not be quite as flexible. (Then again, I may just be
confusing the design of the SEB pages with the interesting photography of
the guy who writes the software -- that is, his photos are interesting, so
the site  its software picks up some of that shine.) 

I really like http://husk.org/pics/, which is run by a homemade photo
gallery application called Stem. The pages all look nice, but I
particularly like the touch of using CSS to superimpose captions directly
over the images. Also, and this one is a big deal for me, site visitors
seem to be able to add comments -- I really want a photo site engine that
has this capability, and Stem is the only one I'm aware of -- aside from
some MovableType blog hacks -- that provides this capability.


The other feature I'd like in a photo site engine would be an architecture
that is friendly to people who can scp/rsync over new photo directories. 
That way, I could just copy over a fresh batch of photos to my web server,
and the photo engine would -- maybe as a cron job -- find the new content
and do various forms of auto-magic (make thumbnails, build  cache pages,
etc). I don't want to have to upload everything through a web form if I
can just as easily copy the files over and tell the server where to look
for new content (or better still, let it be auto-discovered). 

Most photo site software I'm aware of doesn't really work that way. 


I'm also interested in suggestions.

*cough* YAPPA *cough*
I use it, its kinda amateurish, but all I have to do is scp all my photos
over to a directory that I specify in the config, and it automagically
converts thumbnails and dynamic resizing on the fly via ImageMagick.

Which reminds me, I need to start making a tree of albums. :)
