Overview

lodju is a tool for organizing a collection of digital photographs and for making a web gallery of some of them.

The first versions of Lodju (1.0 and 1.1) uses a plain file as an index. The images are kept in their original locations. To speed things up, especially as far as thumbnail handling is concerned, Lodju version 2 uses a directory instead of a plain file, and stores the images and their thumbnails in that directory in addition to the index file.

This script converts a Lodju 1 index file to a Lodju 2 directory. It does not actually copy the images, however. You need to open up the directory with Lodju 2 and use the "Photo/Import missing" menu command to do the importing.

From lodju 2.2-1 in Debian 3.1 (Sarge). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
