I think the buzzword for searching for software is "gallery," and
most of them are web-based. I use pwigo (
www.pwigo.orgorg ), which has a
manual sort option (though you have to dig in a little to find it).
It's actually piwigo, but thanks. I'll take a look.
But if you're not serving a web page somewhere, I don't know.
There's
always the Wikipedia page to sort through, I guess, though I don't find
that useful as often as I hope:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparis
on_of_photo_gallery_software
I'm already using Google Photos, which I suppose counts as a gallery,
but it can get a bit slow when dealing with large batches so I
generally use it for sharing the final results. My idea was to find a
tool to process photos locally before uploading them. I'll check out
that Wikipedia page in any case.
