8 Good evening, and welcome to this
9 example video for booh, beginners
13 We will overview the various steps
14 needed to create a web-album.
17 But prior to launching booh, you must
18 put your photos and videos in the
19 directory of your choice.
22 You can group them by subject,
23 in several sub-directories. Use your
24 favourite file explorer.
27 Then, launch booh, and choose File/New.
30 In the "Locations" zone, you
31 should first indicate the directory
32 where you put your images and videos.
35 Then, you should indicate the
36 directory in which the web-album will
37 be created. This directory will
38 contain the HTML pages and thumbnails
42 Below, you can choose the theme, else
43 the standard theme "simple" will be
47 There are also other configurations
48 options, but we will leave them to the
49 default for the moment. You can now
50 validate the creation of this new
54 Now, you have to wait while the
55 program scans the directory containing
56 your images and videos -
59 creating on the fly the thumbnails
60 which will be used to graphically
64 You can see now in the window, on the
65 left part, the names of the sub-albums
66 discovered while scanning the
67 directory containing your images and
71 In our case, we have for example the
72 sub-album Ski, itself containing the
73 sub-albums Courchevel and Tignes.
76 In the right part of the window, we
77 can see and modify the currently
81 We can see that we have 3 sub-albums,
82 Home, Ski and Weird, and as no images
83 or videos were found in the directory
84 "Albums" itself, the tab "Thumbnails
88 The tab "Sub-albums page" shows the
89 images and text which will be shown in
93 Right-clicking on an image opens a
94 popup menu containing the possible
98 For example, you can change the image
99 used for the sub-album "Home".
102 You may also change the text, for
103 example replace Home by Hometown.
106 Let's move on to viewing and modifying
107 the images and videos. Click on Home
108 in the left part of the window.
111 The right part of the window is
112 updated to show the sub-album "Home",
113 and as there is no sub-album in "Home"
114 itself, the tab "Thumbnails page" is
115 automatically activated.
118 A quick look shows that the image of
119 the bird should be rotated. You can
120 right-click on the image to see the
121 available actions, and choose to
125 If you make a mistake, you can fix it
126 by clicking on "undo" in the toolbar.
129 Let's use a mouse gesture to rotate
130 the image, instead of using
131 right-click as we did before.
134 Mouse gestures are unusual mouse
135 movements triggering special actions,
136 and they are very useful to work
140 The mouse gesture needed to rotate the
141 image clockwise is: left-click on the
142 image, keep the button pressed, drag a
143 little to the right, release the
147 This is very useful. You can learn all
148 the available mouse gestures from the
152 Editing the captions is easy, because
153 booh was designed to make it as easy
154 and fast as possible.
157 When you click on an image, the
158 relevant caption is automatically
159 selected, thus just start typing to
163 Once you're finished with a caption,
164 don't move your hands away from the
165 keyboard, and push the Tab key: you
166 will move directly to the next
170 You can now generate the web-album, by
171 choosing the appropriate item in the
175 You can see a waiting dialog, with
176 progressbars. You have to be patient
177 while the program creates all the
178 thumbnails and HTML pages for your
182 It's that simple! You can now open a
183 web browser, go to the directory you
184 chose where the web-album has been
185 created, and admire all your photos
186 and videos in a glance!
189 Booh creates an elegant and useful
190 web-album. In the page where you can
191 see an image in fullscreen (...) the next
192 images are preloaded, so that when you
193 click on "next", there is no delay.
196 There is also a slideshow mode, you
197 can use it to review the whole of one
198 sub-album without any additional
202 Here it is! I hope this video let you
203 have a nice overview of booh, and will
204 make you use it in the future.
