pix2tn is a simple
perl-script which generates a Web-index with thumbnails for
all images you collected in a directory. Each thumbnail has a
links to a medium sized version of the image (for fast
display over the Web) and to the original version (for
download). Have a look at this example
How to Use pix2tn
Just copy pix2tn into the
directory with your images (jpgs, gifs) or wherever you have
your executable. Start it, and the script will produce a
HTML-index (index.html with thumbnails, names, size
and date) in your image directory. All thumbnails are stored in
a separate sub-directory called tn.
What You Need
- Unix/Linux (I think it could work under Windows ...
somehow ... maybe ... or not - anyway I would install
Cygwin)
-
Perl 5
- convert (part of ImageMagick )
Perl5 and convert are normally included in standard Linux
distributions (and can be easily installed using Cygwin).
Known Problems
- Balakrishnan Muthukrishnan mentioned that using Windows
XP SP2 and ActiveState Perl, pix2tn has problems with file
names which include blanks and it imports all images twice
(since Windows does not differentiate between upper and lower
case letters).
- The problem that under Windows all images are imported
twice is fixed now.
