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. (A lot of cameras don't imbed the thumbnail on jpgs in order to save space). 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. Seems to me that mess was automated away by things like phpthumb http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/ and nobody does it that way any more (although it is a lot less resource intensive than on-the-fly generation). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
