Hmm... seems I somehow got knock off the list, so I'm sure if this post
made it to the list the other day. If it is a repeat, I apologize.
-----
Is the list still alive? I haven't seen anything here for weeks. In the
hope it is, I need some help. I hope someone can point me in the right
direction.
A few months ago, I set up a Linux box to act as the Internet
gateway/mail/local Web/file server for a small local newspaper's Win95
LAN. The paper is composed entirely on their Win95 boxes and archived on
the server. Apache gives them a simple way to search the archives over
the LAN. (They're most impressed with Linux's ability to stay up while
Win95 crashes and burns.)
Now they want make it easier to search for photos on the server. They
want to create thumbsnails (JPEG or GIF) of the originals. The thumbnails
will have http links back to the original photo. Most of their pixs are
stored as TIFFs with occasional JPEGs and, rarely, GIFs.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on a simple way to create the thumbnails?
I have not had much luck locating a program already written to do this,
especially with TIFFs. Since this will have to work inside a script
(shell or perl, I haven't decided yet), the conversion program needs to be
run without user help.
Any ideas would be most welcome. Thanks.
