| - | ====== pLoader ====== | ||
| - | <WRAP round tip> | ||
| - | Note written on January 2nd, 2015: pLoader still works with Piwigo 2.7, but its development has been stopped since July 2010. It is recommended to use the browser uploader instead, which offers equivalent features (drag & drop, chunked upload, progress bar) and does not need any installation. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | pLoader is a software dedicated to prepare your photos and transfer them to your Piwigo installation: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * select photos from your file browser | ||
| - | * automatic preparation includes resizing for web display, thumbnail creation, automatic rotation | ||
| - | * complete informations such as name, author or description | ||
| - | * create a category (ie album) | ||
| - | * transfer the selected photos to your remote Piwigo photo gallery | ||
| - | |||
| - | Your photos are visible on your gallery as soon as the transfer is done. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Installation ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Windows ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[http://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=270|pLoader for Windows]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | Simply download and execute the auto-extract file. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Linux ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The best solution is to run pLoader from sources. Here is a tutorial for a Debian-like distribution: | ||
| - | |||
| - | 1) install subversion and download pLoader source on your desktop | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code>sudo apt-get install subversion | ||
| - | cd $HOME | ||
| - | mkdir apps | ||
| - | cd apps | ||
| - | svn export http://piwigo.org/svn/extensions/pLoader/tags/1.6 pLoader</code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | 2) install pLoader dependencies | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code>sudo apt-get install subversion perl libwx-perl-processstream-perl libfile-slurp-perl \ | ||
| - | libfile-homedir-perl libjson-perl libdigest-md5-file-perl libimage-exiftool-perl perlmagick \ | ||
| - | libcrypt-cbc-perl libcrypt-des-perl libclass-accessor-perl</code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | 3) run pLoader | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code>cd $HOME/apps/pLoader/src | ||
| - | perl ploader.pl</code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Forum topics on this subject: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=115743#p115743|pLoader under 64-bit OS]] | ||
| - | * [[http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=17504|pLoader under Ubuntu 11.04]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Mac ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[http://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=353|pLoader for Mac]] is only compatible with MacOS X 10.5 (ie Snow Leopard). If you don't want to use the web upload form, the best solution is to use either iPhotoToPiwigo or the Lightroom plugin (if you have Lightroom). | ||
