sure I understood what you want. And believe me you can achieve this easily with PHP. I'm a developer for almost ages. But I can't imagine you'll get a satisfying solution when you reject any suggestions from the list instead of actively helping to develop an idea.
Just browse the web and get some inspiration. If you have trouble setting it up, you may want to ask and I'd be happy to help out.
I've browsed the web and seen at least a dozen 'possibilities'. For reasons I think I've made clear I rejected to ones that were clearly 'gallery' as in 'web site for showing off your photographs'. I have one of those of my own as an adjunct to my blog and don't use it much because it requires so much setting up on a step-and-repeat basis. And its not congruent with the use-case I'm trying for here. If my came has a 10" screen that would be fine, I'd never download! But that's not the case so I need to get the photos to the computer and selectively to the tablet to use as a display. I can do _some_ manipulation on the tablet. I can't bring all my peers and managers home to look at my screen and I can't go on site to compare 'then and now' photographs. Yes my tablet has split screen capability. Tablet are wonderful 'mobile' devices for us in the field. But their cameras are very deficient. Image processing software is good, but cameras are lousy. Be that as it may .... The article I referred to describes a CGI script that, with a bit of modification described in a later article http://www.askdavetaylor.com/create_apache_image_browser_script/ and http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9622 does just what I want. But I can't get it to work. The author says <quote> Turns out you can do just that with a simple shell script named as index.cgi in the images directory (well, you might have to slightly tweak your httpd.conf configuration, but fundamentally it should be easy). </quote> Well I have that script by that name in my photographs directory and tweaked the httpd.conf to include user_mod and added the "Options ExecCGI" and ... It doesn't work. I'm far from an Apache guru. I can write a fair bit of html and can maintain a bit of javascript, but making this 'run' is beyond me. I have a specific use case, and it is NOT to run a gallery that can only be viewed on my home LAN. It is to identify the images to download to my tablet without actually downloading them. The 'ftp-mode' interface makes that latter a necessity. I'd appreciate some help getting a shell script as 'index.cgi' to work and getting it to work all the way down the photographs hierarchy rather than just the top level. I've referred to this article which I found by googling and trying out things that didn't work (like one based on dynamic light-table) four times now. I think it matches the very limited and focused use case I have. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
