To do this, all is needed is to create an index file in the picture folder: a simple text file named index.txt or
an XML file named index.xml for added features.Text file:It's a simple texte file specifying, line by line, the pictures to be displayed. Following the picture name, a comment can be added, separated by a vertical bar character "|". Example : ElSalvador_1090_X.jpg|On the jetty in Puerto La Libertad, El Salvador.
XML file:Using an XML file allows better control on the information attached to the pictures. The following fields can be used: - file : name of the picture file (mandatory field).- date : date the picture was taken, ISO-8601 format (optionnal).- location : localisation de l'image (optionnal).- comment : free comment (optionnal).- gps : geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude ; optionnal).Example :
