Some more notes:

If no gallery name is provided, it defaults to current date for gallery title and retains original file names.

You can supply several image file types, comma separated.

Feel free to change the chafa settings in the script. Currently it is set to output 240 colours, dithered, foreground only (for better compatbility), at a size of a 128 characters (felt the right mix). See the chafa man page for additional settings.

And let me know what you think.
