Hello, I wrote a simple script which generates thumbnails and creates web page with links to them in bash. It does not generate the thumbnails on the fly. Intead it simply creates them as permanent files on the disk. In my opinion disk space is cheap now days, but cpu cycles and time are not. If you are interested, here is the result http://www.trilug.org/~davis/nov_30 and here is portion of the code: Happy Trails, John F.
