Once again, I don't want a full blown gallery. I don't want to have to zoom down on the images, I just want thumbnails.

Kong and Dolphin are opening the file for you, and either extracting the thumbnail that was built into the JPeg file or creating them on the fly. This is all very fast in the same machine, but once those images are stored across the room in a different machine Kong and Dolphin have enough sense to stop doing that on the fly because the bandwidth requirements become ridiculous.
That's interesting but I'm not accessing the files from my tablet in Konq/Dolphin.
But I've never gotten thumbnails from a web browser without them being separate files. I distinctly remember when I used to do this that there was a script that would create a thumbnails sub-directory in every photos directory which contained nothing but thumbnails, and a file called index.html, which linked the thumbnails to the actual photos.
The example reference I gave was a CGI shell script. http://www.askdavetaylor.com/create_apache_image_browser_script/ Let me quote #!/bin/sh echo “Content-type: text/html” echo “” for name in * do echo “<img src=$name><br />$name<br />” done exit 0 Now that really should be '*.jpg' :-) So I put that in ~/Photographs, made it executable and tried setting up ExecCGI for /home/*/public_html. I agree its a poor script, there needs to be something to limit the size :-) But why shouldn't it work? The point here is that there really isn't a need to generate thumbnails in a separate location. This is not a gallery application. Resource intensive? I don't care. When I'm doing this I'm not doing anything else on the server. And its really just a single user machine. So only I would be inconvenienced anyway :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
