Synopsis

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the bins_edit command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML in /usr/share/doc/bins/index.html as well as a --help option.

bins_edit sets values in the XML picture description files that bins(1) uses to generate galleries.

OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

file

By default, file is the filename of the XML file with the image properties. If the argument has no .xml suffix, it is added, so you can directly give picture names on the command line. Spaces and other special characters (even newlines) can be used in values given as parameters as long as they are enclosed between quotes.

If the --album option is given, the filename refers to the directory of images, and the album.xml in that directory will be modified instead.

-a, --album

edit album description (instead of the default of editing the image description.) In this case, the file parameter must be the source directory of the album. Only the --title, --longdesc, --shortdesc and --sample switches make sense with this option.

-m, --html

input value will be interpreted as HTML code, thus, no HTML encoding or quoting will be done.

-t title, --title title

Set the title (of an image.)

-e event, --event event

Set the event name (of an album or image.)

-l location, --location location
