AlexGallery is an application of images gallery and image editor which can explore local images and photos. actually AlexGallery is a web application, because it is built by pure html. but it is wrap by nw, so it became a desktop application!
- Local folder explorer, list folders in tree view
- When choose a folder, thumbnails of images under the folder show, and with two size mode small and large.
- Batch images with batch manipulates including resize, lighten, and with three resize modes
- Image gallery slide mode
- Image editor, you can resize, crop, rotate, set effects (lighten, darken, blur, sharpen ...)
lwip is an awesome library, I have no idea to make an image app until I read it. thanks lwip and the author Eyal Arubas
- suppose you have install nw and bower,
if not then run
npm install nw bower -g - clone Repo
git clone https://github.com/hcnode/AlexGalleryandcd AlexGallery - install node.js dependencies
npm install - install browser dependencies
bower install - during npm install, library lwip install with node-gyp to build native modules,
it work fine in node.js without nw, but with nw, we need to build with nw-gyp manually
- install nw-gyp
npm install nw-gyp -g - go to the lwip library
cd node_module/lwip - generate build files
nw-gyp configure - build it
nw-gyp build
- install nw-gyp
- back to root of app and run
nwto launch the application
- the app only run in Mac so far, and work fine with my Mac, so I am not sure if it work ok in windows as well
- the app will create folder $HOME/AlexGallery to store thumbnail of the images you explore, and nothing else will do with you pc
- when first time enter an images folder, there will generate thumbnail of the images by size max 200px, and save them to the $HOME/AlexGallery/thumb which mention above, so it will need some time to show the thumbnails at the first time you enter the folder

As you know, images tools in Mac sucks, so I make this app and name it by my newborn boy's name.
