| Editing the XML filesbins_edit and
bins-edit-gui create a XML file for each picture
file commented (same name followed by .xml) and
an album.xml file in each directory of an album
which is commented. If you want to directly edit comments about the
image, or if you want to set some parameter (see the
bins section below) you can do so by editing the
XML file directly with an editor (supporting Unicode if you use
non-standard ASCII characters). The three main sections of this
files are:
description: contains desciption fields
(comment about the image or the album, like title, date,
location, etc.). -
bins: contains parameters to personalize
the bins program behavior (and thus, the
HTML album aspect). You can use here most of the parameters
found in the binsrc file (see Customization
section.)
-
exif: store the data found in the Exif
structure of the image file. If the image file is modified and
the Exif structure is lost, BINS will use the data stored in
the description file (note that Exif data from the image file
takes precedence on the one of the description
file). album.xml files don't have this
section.
After setting or changing any value in the XML files, you have to rerun
bins to generate new HTML pages.
To see how you can change albums parameters, a sample
album.xml file is provided in the doc
directory.
