The folders and files in ExamplePhotoAlbum.zip demonstrate an example 
photo gallery created with the HTML Photo Gallery Cataloger.  The thumbnail 
files (t_filename.jpg) were created for each of the Jpeg files, and HTML 
navigation files were created to browse the folders and files.  You can 
use the left and right arrow keys to cycle through the pictures.  You can 
use the Home key to go back to the thumbnail page, or move up one folder.

If you create a file named DoNotModify.txt in any folder, then the folder 
will not be changed by the HTML Photo Gallery Cataloger.  In this case,
you must create an Index.html file and include a link back up one level;
otherwise, an Address Not Found error will occur when you click on the link
to the given folder.

If you include a file named DirInfo.txt in any folder, then the contents of 
the DirInfo.txt file will be used to create the captions for the thumbnail 
page and for each picture.  The file also lets you give each folder a title
and extended description.  Additionally, you can define a Sidebar picture
to be displayed to the left of the subfolders.  You do not have to include 
a DirInfo.txt file.  Further, you do not have to include captions for all 
of the pictures in a folder.  Any picture without a customized caption 
defined in the DirInfo.txt file will simply have the file name listed 
as the caption.  An example DirInfo.txt file is shown below.

Thumbnail files for movie files (like .avi and .mov) are not automatically
created.  You must make movie thumbnail files yourself and save them as
Jpeg files (.jpg).  The name must match the name of the movie file, but
have the thumbnail prefix text at the start.  For example, if the
thumbnail prefix is t_ then the thumbnail file for Sample.avi should be
saved as t_sample.jpg  If a thumbnail file is not present for a movie
file, then a simple link is provided to the file.
