I wrote a photo gallery system that's database backed, does automatic
thumbnailing and Javascript preloading of all the images available on
a page, displays a "loading" image if a full-sized link is clicked
before the image is pulled down, allows arbitrary data to be
associated with the image, and allows for a whole bunch of neat stuff
like that.  The files all have globally-unique names and are stored in
a simple directory structure, so it'd be trivial to export a sub-view.
In fact, since it was used to archive what was essentially stock
photography, that was a big part of the initial design.  But it was
written for an internal project at an employer for whom I no longer
work.  I was going to release the code, but the "client" wasn't real
excited about the idea at the time (something about support and our
name being associated with it) and I left before I had time to argue
that others could benefit from it and that we could just license it /
release it such that there was no warranty implied.  Anyway, there is
someone else and the program exists, but no one else can have it.
Grumble...

I use "gallery" for managing my stuff now, FWIW.  It's nice to have
someone else maintaining the code. :)

--Danny, real excited about that "closed intellectual property" thing.
