Hi, Chris, I don't use many images in moin pages, but I do what you suggest in HTML pages. I typically use ImageMagick to create the thumbnails, these days. It lets me bulk convert from the commandline. I've used it on Linux, Windows, & OS-X.
It also has python bindings, I think, if you or someone wanted to create a moin plugin with it. - George Chris G wrote: > I'm beginning to think that putting pictures into a wiki is just not > the done thing! :-) (or maybe :-( ) > > I'm trying to use moinmoin (and I have also played with some other > wikis without much more success) to create some narratives of holidays > and other similar sorts of things.
