v1.2
This batch file creates a HTML gallery from all JPEG, PNG, BMP, WEBP and GIF images in a folder and opens it in your default browser.
ImgGallery was created as an easy, flexible way to view multiple GIF images in motion at the same time.
To use: Run ImgGallery.bat - as of v1.01 the script will process images in the current working directory. I recommend putting ImgGallery.bat into a PATH folder so it can be run easily from anywhere. Previously, the file had to be copied to the same folder as the source images - this will still work if you'd rather click and drag things than use console commands.
*If you use a program like Directory Opus - you can create a custom button that creates a gallery from the current lister folder or a selected folder, etc.

This project is based on Pict_NT.bat v2.00 by Rob van der Woude: https://www.robvanderwoude.com/files/pict_nt.txt
Rob's version was written a long time ago - it was and is a great idea, but I wanted a bit more from it. Pict_NT only displays a single row of centered images and there is no ability to click an image to view it seperately.
Therefore, ImgGallery.bat is a near complete rewrite of Pict_NT that uses CSS and additional HTML to:
- Display images as 300px thumbnails in a GRID, allowing more images to ve viewed at the same time.
- Allow individual images to be clicked and viewed in a new tab.
Idea for CSS based flex gallery came from here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/css-image-gallery
