WHAT IS IT?

===========



Album Enabler for Cooliris is a simple utility to facilitate enabling existing web albums created by software such as Apple  iPhoto or similar programs for the CoolirisŪ browser plugin.



Many programs used to automatically generate web albums from a selection of photos (e.g. Apple iPhoto), create a folder with HTML  (index pages), and separate sub folders that contain the photos, the thumbnails, and the image pages. All the photo files are  numbered sequentially, usually starting at 1.



Enabling a web album created with Apple iPhoto or similar for the CoolirisŪ for browser plugin requires 2 basic steps: Creating an RSS feed file  (photos.rss) which contains links to all the photos that are to be displayed by the CoolirisŪ browser plugin, and adding code to the index HTML pages to  enable RSS autodiscovery for the photos.rss feed.







INSTALLATION

============

Album Enabler for Cooliris comes without an installer and can be placed anywhere on the harddrive as long as the correct folder structure is maintained. I.e. for the Windows version the AlbumEnabler Libs" folder must reside in the same location as the "AlbumEnabler.exe" executable.
