Galerie for Mac5.4.0

When I add to an album the program regenerates ALL of the pages (new and old). Is there a way to have it just add the new pages, as I have comments that I don't want deleted on the old pages, but the program wipes all of them out and I have to start over.

To the developer or MacUpdate: Clicking on the info image to the right of the description opens a window with a smaller view of the image. how about presenting a larger view? Thanks

I've used this on sites in the past and it's really excellent. I now do the same thing serverside with PHP but for static implementations this is pretty hard to beat. I love it kryptiniacably, Ed

I downloaded and tried this app on a tip from an OWC newsletter. Overall, it's a great app! I like how much nicer it builds pages than iPhoto does on it's own. That said - what it doesn't tell you up front is that, IF you use Galerie's comment feature (which allows you to let viewers comment on your photo galeries which are hosted on THEIR servers) - it also AUTOMATICALLY assumes you want to share your uploaded/hosted galerie with the world, and publishes a thumbnail and a link to your galerie on their "Gallery of Galeries" website. Needless to say, this was a concern to me as I may not wish to share personal family photos with the world by default, nor do I need that kind of hit to my limited bandwidth. THE ONLY way to keep them private is to go to your Galerie Administration page (which they send you a link to after you signup so you can use their feedback/comment system in with your galeries) and manually select each galerie you want to keep private. You then get a message saying their server will be updated with that preference within 15 minutes. I went to the software maker's support sight and asked them about this, and why they wouldn't automatically, by default, assume people wanted to maintain their privacy and instead have them choose to share their galeries instead of basically forcing them to opt-out. Unfortunately, my concerns were summarily dismissed as "trivial." http://www.myriad-online.com/cgi-bin/bbs/YaBB.pl?board=galerie;action=display;num=1156990176 Even though this is free software - don't take your privacy for granted.

Downloaded the dmg, mounted, duplicated it to the desktop, unmounted image. Opened folder, launched the app. Elected not to use the simple interface. Changed some settings (lots of options), tried to select a template - program then asked *me* where its folder of templates was. Its in its folder with the application, presumably right where the developer put it. Selected 1 of the 18 galleries (Anthracite shadow) and clicked "Generate Gallery". As it processed photos it showed an apparently demo photo of a child which was not present in the output. Weird. Index.html page opened in Safari. Clicking thumbnail links did nothing but spin Safari's gear for a second - no new page, no error. Manually opened the thumbs.html page, links work on that one. Gallery format looks nice but the image quality was horrid despite the fact that none of the images needed to be resized (I already did that before testing gallery generation programs.) Went back and removed the setting to "Use Picture Frame" and regenerated - that was it - the picture quality appeared equal to the source images. Drug program to the trash making a mental note to look for newer versions in the future, wrote this review. Overall, lots of options, poorly implemented interface (even in the simplified mode - difficult to guess where any specific settings will be - in preferences? under menus? in the main window?), nice looking galleries but flawed html output. Looking forward to a version that can output pages which work in Safari.

Does what should (most of the times). Easy-to-use interface. Templates strike a good mix of style and originality. I wish copyright would not require to keep the "created with Galerie" link on one's private pages. But then ... it is free after all. Thanks to the developer for that. One caveat, and I assume the developers are listening: data loss. When Galerie warns it will delete contents of a folder it means everything in that folder, not just items previously created by Galerie. I lost some of my own text this way. Maybe a) an extra warning could help users and b) also to not physically delete the folder contents but move them to the trash instead. One suggestion for improvement: Allow users to set max height and max width at the same time. I want my pictures to fit on the screen at all times. But Galerie will only respect either a maximum width or a maximum height. I found no way to specify both numbers and tell Galerie to scale by applying both limits

I am having some trouble with galerie 5.0.1 it looks awsome and it worked for me like a year ago, but now when i am uploading my photos, after I have uploaded a little more then half of it, it just shuts down, has anyone had the same trouble and if so how can I fix this

Thank you so much for making this. AND thank you for offering it for free. This software is something that Apple should have included in iPhoto but did not. I am always amazed at the quality of the free & open source software that developers offer. Thank you again for offering this application free of cost and for the many hours involved in developing it.

Very good freeware. JAlbum is better imho, Galerie is 2nd.

Does all that it says, and more! So far, I have no problems at all with this free application. In my opinion, this is one of the best freeware apps, ever. Anyone-from my grandma to a power user-can dig into this app and find more and more useful features. I love being able to customize just about every aspect of every page and piece of text; I can even design my own templates or modify others! What more can you ask of a free app?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! This is just wonderful, it makes some amazing-looking photo galleries! It saved me $139 Canadian because now I don't need to get a .mac account to publish my photos online. One of the finest OSX freeware apps ever!

This is a GREAT freeware app... It works wonderfully with iVMP and iPhoto to create very cool photo galleries. A little time with the manual helped me create a site with sub-sections; modifying existing sites is so easy... Thanks so much for this great piece of software!

She's a beauty! I wouldn't EVER bother with iPhoto's own galleries. This rocks.

2 thumbs up to this new release!!! I finally have virtually all the functionality with this app. Now only if the templates were better looking as is Picture Arena's templates. Picture Arena did an awesome job on their templates, however I do not want to replace my iPhoto, I just want a good Photo Gallery with good templates. BTW, much better icon than before, however it is difficult to see the small thumbnails in the icon.

same problem with the templates under tiger... it doesn't work anymore!!

This super program does not work with 10.4 Tiger ... I am not the first one who tried to fight the problem with the Templates, but it does not work. Please assist.

Really Nice Program...Unfortunatly not Tiger Ready..i cant select the templates Folder...it always gives me an error. Hope theill fix the Tiger problem

Vote for a new icon at their site or submit your own: http://www.myriad-online.com/perso/photos/galicon/

There are a few niggly interface issues here and there that make it a tad more complex than it needs to be but other than that it's WONDERFUL. It's almost criminal that it's free.

The icon is... :o) Galerie is a powerful program to generate... galleries ^_^ Elegant and free. Congratulation to the author.

Please do not use the "Hate" word lightly. The picture of the boy maybe related to the author of this software, so please do be more respectful to this wonderful developer who release such great software to us for free.

Very good freeware but I dislike the icon too (in fact I hate it). Please chang it if you can. Anyway, it is a great freeware, thank you for making it.

Yes, please change the icon. It might derive from a cute photo of a cute kid but as an app icon it looks *really* out of place (and give me the willies, too)!

Easy to use, results excellent. Beats the competitors that I've tried.

jaxxo locate the file "com.myriad.galerie.plist" in your home/library/preferences and remove it. now gallerie will again ask for the location of your Galerie Templates-folder and everything should be fine.

Rawk on. Only one thing...can you change the icon? That kid gives me the willys. Is he looking at me? Make him stop!

THIS IS IT!!!!! This is the Program that surpasses all other "online photo" programs! Great Program!!!!!

Awesome app! There are a few tamplates that should have additional options for the CSS info. Seems to be much faster than iPhoto exporter. Where do we send donations?

First few pages generated were perfect! But now I've been trying to create another set of pages and have been running into an Apple Script error that keeps saying it can't find a particular template on my computer. When I click to the templates location on my own, the "missing" template file is there -- any ideas why it doesn't seem to be visible when generating a new gallery?

Good free app but I don't like the icon.

Man, I've always been looking for something like this! It's just awesome, please keep it FREE! only one thing: when I tried to create a webgallery (brushed metal theme btw) it told me the following AppleScript Error: NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError (10) I hope you can get rid of it, but nevertheless: It's a GREAT APP!

When using the "shadow" template and applying frames to the photos, the frames don't appear on all the photos in the generated gallery. About 3 of 7 images had the correct frame. When I tried another template just to see if it had the same problem, I found that the frames generated by the shadow template appeared along with the photos in the new template! Not a huge deal, but a little frustrating. Other than that, Galerie has been cool!

produces some really quick really fast web pages but Galerie is about as stable as Iraq, I have litterally had to turn my powerbook off 4 times coz when this app crashes it takes everything else with it......... look forward to a more stable release

just great! very easy and fun ;-)

This is a wonderful program - it integrates beautifully with iPhoto and makes the web galleries 100X better. I've noticed no bugs, and making custom templates is fun too!

I am really happy with the results Galerie has in web-publishing photographs. I have one suggestion which I believe would benefit the app. greatly. Currently, you can set the 'Pictures' to a Maximum size in pixels. Well, this works wonderful for horizontally oriented photos, but... I prefer a smaller size for vertical photos due to monitors smaller v-height. So may suggestion is to add a field for 'Maximum Vertical size in pixels' or something to that extent.

I've been using this all afternoon, and I can't find a fault. The galleries produced are slick, the operation is straightforward... Fantastic!

I really like the idea of your program... one tiny little problem though. I can't use it. My screen size is 800x600 (old iBook). There are not key commands for Export HTML and I can't get to the button. If there's a work around, I'd like to know what it is

This progam is an absolute must if you use iPhoto. You build great looking websites in minutes just clicking buttons. A web site on a CD is the best way I found to share pictures : everybody can see the pictures through their browser whatever the platform & software installed. Galerie allows you to add automatically the orginal picture files. You can do some customization of the web pages through the basic interface, and if you're a bit more adventurous, it's fairly easy to modify the templates that come along the program. If you create new templates, you can post them to be shared. Combine Galerie and iPhoto Library Manager, and you'll have a brand new improved iPhoto. For free.

Brilliant. Works flawlessly with iPhoto. Templates are easy to change for those of us who have experience in such matters yet do not require any knowledge at all from the beginner. And it's free. What more can you ask for?

I like it. It doesn't integrate with iPhoto as well as BetterHTMLExport (q.v.), but it does a comparable job [with some extra features, like adding watermarks to the output photos] and it's FREE. Some of the initial templates were less than spectacular-looking, but it's easy to modify a template to make the output pages match your site design. And it looks like the new version will have much more creative templates [the kitchy picture-frames, the upcoming auto-advance slideshow feature]. I like it a lot. It is my tool of choice for web photo galleries.

CAUTION: When running Galerie by itself, it seemed to work fine. BUT, when I also started iPhoto, it didn't crash, but rather caused a kernel panic! Other than a simple total system freeze, the features seem to be good! :)
