13:51 <jvdz> I'm brainstorming using nanoc as a static image gallery generator; not sure if its the best fit for that (would love to hear opinions on that); one thing I'd like is to get EXIF data out of images for descriptions, titles, etc

13:51 <jvdz> Is such a thing possible?

14:21 <musicmatze> You could search for gems for the exif data thing...

14:21 <musicmatze> then you could do it easily, I think.

14:22 <darix> jvdz: i started something like that

14:22 <darix> but atm it recompiles the thumbnails too often

14:22 <darix> jvdz: mini_exiftol works nicely for the image info stuff.

14:23 <jvdz> darix: Thanks, I'll look into it; would that be accessible to nanoc as a variable?

14:24 <darix> jvdz: what i did

14:24 <darix> i defined a nanoc sub command that extracted the infos and wrote them to <filename without extensions>.yaml

14:24 <darix> then you have it as meta data in your nanoc::item

14:27 <jvdz> darix: Nice, I suppose that's not too bad. In my Perfect World vision, filesystem MDT would be as accessable as other MDT like filename, path, mtime, and so on :)

14:28 <jvdz> jvdz: But then again, in that perfect world, filesystems have evolved to have higher level abstract functionality, like virtual directories which are search queries, and that kind of stuff

14:31 <jvdz> darix: So in your setup, did you define several thumbnail tempaltes (e.g. icon, medium, so on), and then process the images using those?

14:32 <jvdz> darix: Which tool did you use for that image processing (I'm not very familiar with ruby & the image processing ecosystem)

14:33 <darix> shell out to graphicsmagick/imagemagick

14:34 <darix> ok time to head out

14:34 <darix> later

14:34 <jvdz> thanks, take care

15:15 <bbommarito> Hello all.

22:14 <kaustuv> Anyone know why I would suddenly start getting this error?

22:14 <kaustuv> NameError: uninitialized constant Erubis

22:21 <kaustuv> For the log, apparently this is because a require 'erubis' was missing from lib/nanoc/filters/erubis.rb. Adding this makes the error go away.
