[opensuse] Need better ... icons? thumbnails?
I have Apache set up on my file server so that I can access ~anton/public_html, and I have symlinked in "My Documents" and "My Photographs" and "My Music" and "My Downloads". This means I can pull down anything I've downloaded or created onto my phone or tablet via my home based wifi. The thing is, though, I only get directory listings. That's OK for documents, which have meaningful titles, and for music, similarly, but the photographs just have the strings generated by the camera, sequence numbers. DSCF0043.JPG DSCF0045.JPG or date sequences 2013-09-09-DSCF0152.jpg Yes, I do have subdirectories by date or sometimes by event 2014/05/Gardenparty/ but the files are still those unhelpful strings unless I have specifically renamed them. I'd like to see proper thumbnails. I don't want full blown "Gallery" software. I have that on one of my blogs and to be quite frank the process of uploading to it is tedious. The work-flow of downloading from the camera, running 'exiftool' to stamp with copyright and move the downloads to "<year>/<month>" is scripted and automated. Once there I have no problems viewing them with Konqueror/Dolphin and drilling down with Gwenview/Darktable. The point here is that Konqueror/Dolphin lets me see the thumbnails. I saw, for example, this http://www.askdavetaylor.com/create_apache_image_browser_script/ but have not been able to get it to work. And yes, I've added the cgi module to the Apache2 config. I've also added ExecCGI in mod_userdir.conf, which I realise is a security risk, but I'm not sure how else to address this. Can anyone help with this? Once again, I don't want a full blown gallery.

Hi! You could consider adding PHP functionality as you are already running apache. There are loads of galleries for PHP out there on the web which should be much or less straight forward to install. Simon Am Freitag, 27. Juni 2014, 10:25:29 schrieb Anton Aylward:

Actually, you DO, you just don't want to manage one, while at the same time you are demanding some of the functionality of a gallery without the commenting crap. Your best bet is to automate the creation of thumbnails and linking them into a index page so that you can do it once and forget about it. I ran into this same problem when I moved multiple gigabytes of family photos to a NAS box. They are all of a sudden hard to find visually. Even with gigabit ethernet browsing and trying to force Dolphin to show previews is horribly slow.

No don't want a gallery. I want the FTP-syyle browser with a web interface that I view from my tablet -- Konqueror/Dolphin have absolutely nothing to do with this -- to show thumbnails. I see no reason the pre-generate thumbnails. The mode I'm running now. Minus the thumbnails, allows me to use the hierarchy of the file system and fits in with my work flow for automatically uploading from my camera with exiftool organizing into the hierarchy AutoMaTiCalLy by <year>/<month> More to the point I don't want to have to regenerate the thumbnails every time I take a new photograph.

Automation I already have, but this is not a one-time thing, it gets updated almost daily.

Yes, I can see how its a one-time for you. But I can't see what Dolphin has to do with it. I'm using Apache2 and it is presenting the files, be they photographs, documents, PDFs, music, in a FTP-style mode. Referring again to the site I've mentioned: http://i2.wp.com/www.askdavetaylor.com/0-blog-pics/apache-directory-listing.... But another reason I am not interested in 'gallery' is that its not for viewing, its ONLY so that I know which pictures I'm going to download to the tablet. The ONLY purpose is to select the right ones to download to the tablet. My use-case is so radically different from yours ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It would be better to put the thumbnails in a second directory: thumbs/$1-th and it would be wiser to make the thumbs much smaller, under 500x500, because all of this has to be transmitted across the net to his tablet.

Please read the URL I keep sending. Its not a HTML page you want but HTML streams to the web interface of the client. The script at that URL generates such a stream.

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

made some tests, without successs... I use a script to write a listing of *some* files in a folder, but I can only make it work running it locally - in my server, "ftp" listings are not allowed. script result: http://dodin.info/essai/th/index1.html without script http://dodin.info/essai/th/ the script is pretty basic: file="index.html"; echo "<html><body>" > $file; for I ; do echo $I echo -n "<a href=\"" >> $file ; echo -n "$I" >> $file ; echo -n "\">" >> $file; echo -n "$I" >> $file; echo -n "</a><br />" >> $file; echo >> $file; done ; echo -n "</body></html>" >> $file; you can easily change it to have images displayed.

Ah, good, you're trying the example, the simple script which dynamically generates html as a stream to the client, in the web page I've referenced in this thread, what, a half dozen times now :-) You should read the follow page I also referenced so that the "*" gets replaces by a pattern of only graphic files.

to solve the OP problem, first we have to see why apache is not running cgi. the cgi of the OP is a bash script. The example in the apache page is perl, so may be begin to look at the very apache example: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Hello, World."; writing this very script here http://dodin.info/essai/th/test.pl it works. Good, so at least the OP can write his script in perl :-(. Then I tried an other bash script found on the net and it worked. What do not seems to work is bash loops. The following script http://dodin.info/essai/th/image.sh do (at time of writing) print Hello world end but the loop is ignored. Other syntax makes the "end" to be also ignored #!/bin/bash echo "Content-type: text/html" echo "" echo '<html>' echo '<head>' echo '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">' echo '<title>Hello World</title>' echo '</head>' echo '<body>' echo 'Hello World' for name in *.jpg do echo “<img src=$name>" "<br />" "$name" "<br />”; done echo '<br />' echo 'end' echo '</body>' echo '</html>' exit 0 I'm sure somebody will point out the error :-) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Anton, with all the replies in this thread, I guess you've worked out a solution by now? If not, I find thumbnails are most easily generated on the fly with imagemagick.

Further instructions - - you need ImageMagick installed, I use 'convert' to create the thumbnails. - you need a working php installation, the scripts are php - you need apache module rewrite loaded - /index.phtml just lists whatever JPG files are in the same directory - you need to create a directory "tn/" with owner = wwwrun (or whichever userid your apache uses).

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

That's interesting but I'm not accessing the files from my tablet in Konq/Dolphin.

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

Have you tested the configuration with a known good CGI script? Just a simple index.cgi test page will do. I did this after I couldn't get that little script to work and discovered I've got some troubleshooting to do tomorrow.

I'd like to see proper thumbnails.
A quick web search for 'apache directory listing images with thumbnails' brought up http://larsjung.de/h5ai and especially the demo folder http://larsjung.de/h5ai/sample/image%20preview/ Maybe you want to give it a try.
