MiniManage is a Java Application that simplifies the process of uploading and managing files in minishowcase. This project is maintained by Jan Konieczny. From the developer’s site:

What is MiniManage? This is opensource project created initially for my own use to make minishowcase (http://minishowcase.frwrd.net/) gallery management much easier. In other words: I just wanted to let my wife take care of our photo gallery :).

Other reason why I decided to develop such a program is client-side photos scaling. It is much faster to resize your 2MB photo for a web to eg. 800×600 or 1024×768 resolution before you upload it so you can push only 200kB file over your modem/broadband instead of the huge, full-size 2MB picture.
To use my photo-uploader you will have to put a server-side script (soap.php included in the package) and additionoal NuSoap libraries (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/) in your MiniShowcase Gallery home directory and set a write permission to ‘galleries/’ for a web-server.

Thanks to Jan Konieczny for his fantastic support to minishowcase. Enjoy!
