WGP File Extension

Web Gallery Project – file format by WebHat

WGP (Web Gallery Project) is a file extension developed by WebHat for a web gallery project. It is used to store web gallery projects, which include images, HTML files, and other related files.

Web Gallery Project File (.WGP)

A WGP file is a Web Gallery Project created by WebHat Gallery, a web-based image gallery application. It contains various information related to the image gallery, including the images themselves, as well as metadata such as image descriptions, keywords, and organization. WGP files are essential for managing and presenting online image galleries, enabling users to easily create, edit, and share visual content.

Functionality of WGP Files

When a user creates an image gallery in WebHat Gallery, the associated WGP file functions as the central repository for all gallery-related data. It stores the images in their original formats, ensuring preservation of their quality. Additionally, the WGP file includes information on image thumbnails, descriptions, and tags, making it possible to categorize and retrieve images quickly. WGP files also track gallery settings, such as layout, navigation options, and access permissions, providing flexibility in customizing the appearance and functionality of the gallery.

Open WGP Files in Web Gallery

The primary method to open WGP files is through the Web Gallery application by WebHat. This software is designed specifically to create, edit, and manage web galleries. To open a WGP file using Web Gallery:

  1. Launch Web Gallery on your computer.
  2. Click on “File” > “Open” from the top menu bar.
  3. Locate and select the WGP file you want to open.
  4. Click on “Open” to load the gallery project into Web Gallery.

Once opened, you can view the gallery’s content, modify settings, and publish it online. Web Gallery provides a user-friendly interface that allows for easy customization and management of web galleries.

Alternative Methods

While Web Gallery is the primary software for handling WGP files, alternative methods may be available depending on the specific file contents. Some WGP files may contain text or XML data that can be opened in a text editor or XML viewer. To do this:

  1. Right-click on the WGP file.
  2. Select “Open With” and choose a suitable text editor or XML viewer (e.g., Notepad, Sublime Text, or XML Notepad).
  3. View the file’s contents as plain text or XML data.

However, it’s important to note that this method may not be suitable for all WGP files, as some projects rely on proprietary formats within the file. If you experience issues opening or viewing the file using these methods, it is recommended to use Web Gallery or contact the file’s creator for guidance.

Web Gallery Project (WGP)

WGP files are created by WebHat, a program used to create and publish web galleries. WGP files store all the necessary information for a web gallery, including the images, thumbnails, captions, and layout. WGP files are XML-based, meaning they are text files that can be edited with any text editor. This makes it easy to customize the look and feel of a web gallery.

WGP files can be opened and edited by WebHat, as well as by other programs that support the WGP format. This includes a number of free and open source programs, such as GIMP and Inkscape. WGP files can be exported to a variety of formats, including HTML, PDF, and Flash. This makes it easy to share web galleries with others, even if they don’t have WebHat installed.
