What is Pixlatch?

Pixlatch is a Perl script that generates a static photo gallery out of a directory full of oversized pictures (as produced by any modern digital camera).

Features

Philosophy

I wrote Pixlatch while waiting for a flight at Denver International Airport. I had been playing around with curator and liked almost everything about it. Only one thing bothered me:

"Note that curator does not resize the large digital camera images to a viewable size automatically. We have planned a redesign which will allow to integrate this feature elegantly and generically."
In my opinion, resizing the obnoxious images was half the point of running a gallery. So with this in mind, I set about writing a cute little script that would generate scaled copies of the images and throw together some organizing html. I pretty much succeeded in about a half hour.
