# darktable_to_lightgallery

A combination of a darktable lua script and python scripts to export files in darktable and automatically create a js lightgallery from them

## The Darktable Part

consists of export_to_lightgallery.lua. This script adds a module to the right side of darktable, showing
  * a entry field for the gallery title
  * a directory chooser for the target directory
  * a entry field for the uplink url
  * a checkbox for the attachment of the "photography|published|gallery|family" tag
  * a "Run"-Button
  * a "Help" Link

### Running it

A click on the run button starts
  * the export of all selected files to the chosen directory with a jpg quality of 92 and a max width/height of 2500px
  * and runs the python script "create_lightgallery.py" in that directory
All the entries in the dialog get saved.

## The python part

After writing the images to the gallery directory, the python script "create_lightgallery.py" creates thumbnails, a header image and the index.html. Helper scripts create an overarching index.html linking to subgalleries with a javascript implementation of a searchable index of all the keywords.

# Todo

There are still quirks with German umlauts.

The running of the helper scripts shall be automatized as a task immediately following a gallery creation instead of depending on inotify voodoo.
