Second part: Depends on how complex you want your thumbnail page to be (of course).
Simplest might be to store all your thumbnails to a directory, do an opendir, then while readdir, print your image tag changing only the file name in each case. To complicate matters, you can use the same Image::Magick module to read the thumbnail to generate the width/height tags on the fly though I would say that is probably overkill. As for handling pages/numbered to display on each page, and stepping between them you are probably going to have to pass a couple of variables to the script, such as where to start displaying and how many to display. Or you could go the simple route and hard code the number shown, in which case you could just pass a "page" variable, either way you then generate the urls on the fly referencing "previous","next","first","last", etc. ....So many options, so little time. http://danconia.org Yuen, Alex wrote: > One part is to create a thumbnail image from a regular image. > > Second part is to create a web page or thumbnail page for viewing.
