Well, I did exactly that as well, with the exception that I toss the
image files in a directory, and then run a script to generate static
html-pages (with forward and back links on each image page).
Considering that my www-server has more diskspace than CPU
ressources, and that images and layout changes rarely, this makes
sense to me (but I am probably suffering from environmental damagage
on that front...)
Anyways, if you want a copy of my script for doing this, drop me a
mail off-list. If nothing else, it may serve as inspiration to how
you could do it if you want to generate pages dynamic. Be warned,
however, it's a bash-script for Unix...
...and I agree: making on-line galleries suxx, unless they are
somehow autogenerated.
