You can use the <b>bins_edit</b> program to set
description fields or one or several images. For example, to add
the comment <b><tt>my picture</tt></b> to
<tt>pic.jpg</tt>, go to the images directory (where
<tt>pic.jpg</tt> is), and type:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
bins_edit -d "my picture" pic.jpg
</pre><p>The <tt>-d</tt> option stands for description. You can
set other fields, like location or date. Run <b>bins_edit
--help</b> to see all fields available and read the
<b><a href="bins_edit_man.html" target="_top">bins_edit(1)</a></b>
man page. The description text can be HTML with the
<tt>--html</tt> switch. You can run
<b>bins_edit</b> on several images, for example:</p><pre class="programlisting">
$ bins_edit -l "Paris" -y "2001" *.jpg
</pre><p>For each album (and sub-albums), you can also set a title, a
description and a sample image to be used as a thumbnail to
represent the album. To do so, you can use
<b>bins_edit</b> with the<tt> --album</tt>
switch. Type <b>bins_edit --help</b> for more
details.</p><p>
After setting or changing any fields, you have to rerun
<b>bins</b> to generate new HTML pages.
