Development of a new web album

Requirements

• Upload of single and multiple files
• Upload via web and SSH
• Support for all common file types. Non-image files are of course not viewed.
• Preferrably non-database based. Folder structure with simple metadata files and or image metadata should (.folder and .files) should be enough. No files should also work with default information. This makes it scriptable.
• Metadata edit directly via metadata files or web interface.
• Strict XHTML output. Layout customization via CSS.

Available solutions

• Ruby on Rails WebAlbum

• AJAX based with similar design as intended

• Balder

  • FreeImage - available in ports from OpenBSD 4.6.
  • ExifTool - available in ports as p5-Image-ExifTool.
  • A set of gems; AuthLogic, Mime-Types, ImageScience, RubyInline, Mini_ExifTool

• Mollify webbased file manager. Mephisto is also an alternative. Are there any other? Different file types must be supported.
