Each picture can be viewed in many different sizes (thumbnails and all other resized images are created automatically and on the fly). yappa-ng supports password protected albums, hit counters for albums and images, album info, image captions, gallery overview and features a 'Top 10 images' ranking system for each photo album. yappa-ng has complete user selectable language support and different themes. yappa-ng has a very comfortable and elaborate album-oriented photoalbum-administration web-interface. Each photo-album is a different directory and has a complete different set of options (thumbnail page layout, usage of image-hit-counters, top10, user-password,...)

This is the reason this program is called yappa-ng (next generation). Federico Feroldi has done a wonderful job in programming a very good program! Thank you! I want to thank Kim Le for his great ideas and source code regarding the admin-module, even if I didn't take over all his ideas.
