Spit is a graphical picture indexing tool. It can be used to manage pictures, and generate HTML pages for putting your pictures online. It is designed for user-friendliness, portability and extensibility. It allows quick & easy ordering, editing and adding captions for pictures.

The HTML pages are generated using XSL transformations, which makes it extremely easy to create your own templates. On the next pictures, you can see some examples of pages generated with Spit:

with an existing website. (Andrew Wils)

Spit uses Qt, a cross platform library for creating user interfaces. It has been compiled and run succesfully under GNU/Linux (and other Unix systems), MacOS and Microsoft Windows. If you want proof, here it is:

(Note that these screenshots are a bit dated, and should be updated someday)

You can always contact me for bug reports & feature requests.

More information can be found on the SourceForge project page.

Spit is released under the GNU General Public License (with an additional exception for non-commercial Qt versions), which basically means you can download and use it for free. Mind you that Spit is still in an early development stage, and there are still probably too much bugs and too less features in it, but this will hopefully change in the near future.
