💖 gallery1-to-slideshow(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because we're about to turn your dusty old Gallery photo album into a whole cinematic moment ✨ this page lives in the dvd-slideshow manual set, and it's genuinely one of my faves.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gallery1-to-slideshow — literally makes an input file for dvd-slideshow out of the pics in your Gallery online photo album. that's it, that's the job 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gallery1-to-slideshow [-o <output directory>] [-t <Seconds per picture>]
[-b <background image>] [-c <Crossfade seconds>] <path to album>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what this does is it generates a text file listing of all the pictures that are visible in a given "Gallery" (<http://gallery.sourceforge.net>) photo album, in order, so you can just hand that info straight over to dvd_slideshow and let it cook. no cap, it's giving effortless.

⚠️ okay real talk though: this only works with version 1.X of Gallery. it does not work with version 2.X. do not come for me, it's just how it is 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -o <Output directory> — where the output file gets written. if you don't say anything, it just uses the current directory. easy ✨
• -t <Seconds per picture> — how many seconds each picture stays on screen in the movie. defaults to 5 seconds if you don't specify. iconic default tbh.
• -b <Background image> — pick a background image for your slideshow. aesthetic unlocked 🎀
• -c <Crossfade seconds> — how many seconds to crossfade between images. one second is usually fine, lowkey perfect actually. heads up though: this will increase the processing time considerably 😭 but it looks nice. the vibes are worth it, iykyk.
• <path to album> — the path to the Gallery album you want to generate a slideshow for. this one's required, bestie, don't forget it 🙈
