Make MyPhotoShare portable
An idea to investigate... I have to visit an old person with a Windows laptop from my sister and show her pictures from paintings. Of course, there is no WiFi, no Internet. And because of Windows and the laptop not being mine, I won't install a web server: I'll just use Windows explorer and image viewer to display the pictures; forget MyPhotoShare!:-(
BUT IF MyPhotoShare were portable and could be run without web server, it would be a really great feature. You just have to load the index.html
in the web browser and you could use it. MyPhotoShare diretctories with the cache
and albums
content could be copied on DVD or USB keys to share galleries with people. It would not depend on a web server or Linux. The user would just need to have a web browser.
I did a quick check and it does not work, probably because of the directories and file structure. A new utility script can be written to copy the desired directory structure if the existing one can't be changed to be used by a web server or be portable at the same time. To look at during a rainy weekend...
