How this project works

• First it is necessary to configure the path to the galleries (videos, musics and pictures) (instructions bellow)
• Second you call hask-gallery-exe with a parameter refresh
• The program will scan the directory you passed at the first step looking for media files and storing their information in a file.
• Finally you can run the hask-gallery without any parameter and open the browser at localhost:8080 url.
