django-photofile

django-photofile is a Django app that provides template tags for thumbnail generation, supports automatic rotation based on EXIF.Orientation.

Planned routines for metadata handling (EXIF/IPTC/XMP).

Why another thumbnail app for Django?

I've looked at sorl-thumbnail and others, and initially I wanted to use an existing project, but none of them supported automatic rotation based on EXIF.Orientation.

Installation

- Alternative a) pip install django-photofile.
- Alternative b) download source, unpack and do python setup.py install.
- Alternative c) hg clone https://bitbucket.org/weholt/django-photofile and do python setup.py install.

Usage

In settings.py

- Add 'photofile' to your INSTALLED_APPS.
- Set up caching if you want.
- Add a dir to your STATICFILES_DIRS or set STATIC_ROOT.

In your template:

{% load photofile_tags %}

< img src="{% generate_thumbnail imagefile 200x300 %}"/ >

or:

< img src="{% generate_thumbnail imagefile 100x100 crop %}"/ >

Where imagefile is an object with at a property/field called:

- unique_filename or
- complete_filename or
- filename

Resolution is specified as x, for instance 200x300 and if you want to crop the photo add crop as shown in the example over.
