I Reserve The Right To Change My Mind. Continually.

Right, then: having definitely decided to use Coppermine for the gallery, I am now using Koken… Just felt that Coppermine looks a bit dated now, and Koken is much “cleaner”. Now I have to decide whether white or grey background is better…

Have to say that Koken is quirky, but once you get used to its idiosyncracies it’s quite impressive. Handling of geotagged photos was a bit disappointing as it uses Google Maps whereas I want Openstreetmap. However, a simple change sorted that out: just change storage/themes/elementary/content.lens in the <koken:geolocation> section to replace

href=”http://maps.google.com/?q= geolocation.latitude , geolocation.longitude “

with

href=”https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat= geolocation.latitude &mlon= geolocation.longitude #map=18/ geolocation.latitude / geolocation.longitude “

(The 18 is a number specifying the zoom level; 18 seems about right.)
