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.
A kludge for your particular needs while clearly a gallery but is quick, easy and scriptable have a look at fgallery for your particular distro version. You can limit the sizes.
Or I haven't completely understood your needs :^)
I think the latter. I really really really am happy with the ftp-mode IF ONLY the lines were accompanied by a small image/thumbnail. As I say, this isn't a problem with ~anton/Documents because the document names are meaningful. While, when at the console, Konq/Dolphin shows thumbnails of documents as well, that isn't a concern when downloading to the tablet. As I say, the names are meaningful. Its only with ~anton/Photographs does it matter. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | The scripts in the web pages I keep referring to would do | | this just fine if only I could get them to work. | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Fgallery is nice, but not that simple as it needs more to be downloaded. Let me add a requirement: if it needs a database I've already said that, yes?), needs imagemagic python or perl, zips files up into packages, adapts in any way, is more suited for viewing individual images in detail before downloading, has options or overrides available to the viewer or a configuration file, or generates thumbnails into a separate directory by use of a 'batch mode' process, then its not what I want. The slightly augmented 'ftp-mode' described in the article I keep referring to seems to be what I want.

Ok, I don't do web stuff anymore, so I don't know the answer to your question on how to do it exactly as you wish. At the risk of aggravating you more ;-) ... Why are you doing this with a web server, if its only for in-house usage? Or is this planned for remote access as well? As another point of info (not trying to exasperate you Anton...) On my Android phone, and tablet, I run a free app called ES File Explorer which will surf all the files on my phone AND.... will will surf my network (Windows or Samba or of FTP as well as Box, SugarSync, Dropbox, onedrive, Gdrive, s3 Yandex, Bitcasa, and in each of those cases it will (somehow) obtains thumbs without me having to do anything. So I can reach out to my NAS box, which has SAMBA built in, and surf directories full of images and thumbnails are created on the fly. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm sure I mentioned that is for me accessing at home with my tablet over wifi. Yes, in my very first message that started off this thread I said <quote> This means I can pull down anything I've downloaded or created onto my phone or tablet via my home based wifi. </quote>

That's interesting. I have Total Commander which claims the same scope of access. It certain does have the thumbnails in the format I'm asking about for local files. However when I access ~anton/Photographs via the //LAN (i.e. Samba) the thumbnails are not shown. The same applies if I go in via the FTP interface. An yes, I do have the option to show thumbnails check. I'll take a look at ES File Explorer.
