Technical specifications

Because there are a lot of features that don't warrant an in depth discussion in their own right, this page is intended to provide more information about the nuts and bolts of Pixaria and it's technical capabilities.

If there's something you need and you're not sure if Pixaria can do it, let me know.

1 It is likely that Pixaria Gallery will continue to perform well with no modifications on libraries up to 1,000,000 images in size. I'm happy to work with any photographer with larger libraries of images to optimise the performance of Pixaria Gallery.

2 The Java FTP upload applet is third party software and requires a separate paid license in addition to the Pixaria license fee. Further details are avilable from the developer JFileUpload.

3 Support for PHP 4 will cease with the release of Pixaria Gallery 3.0.

Pixaria 2.9

What you get:

1. Full source code access

If you want to tinker about with the PHP source code of Pixaria Gallery, go ahead. None of the code is encrypted, obfuscated or locked down in any way. When you buy Pixaria Gallery, you have the right to modify and hack the code as much as you like as long as you don't redistribute it.

2. Free installation

Pixaria Gallery is simple to install but if you'd rather not tackle it yourself, let me take the load and do it for you. I offer free installation for every purchased copy of the script. If you're interested, drop me a line after you've completed your purchase.

3. All the features, one price

Some commercial software developers offer different sets of features depending on how much you pay. With Pixaria, you pay one price and everything is included which means you never have to worry whether you're missing out.
