greets, folks! i'm engaged in a little project here, and it's moving along nicely except that i hope to do a thing or two that i do not know how to do.
the project is this: last september i took pictures of the wedding of some friends, all digital, all 1600x1200 so that they print nicely. i hope to put together a cd of them for them -- in fact, several, so they can send them to their friends. i have a nice little script that generates cute little thumbnails and so on, all in html, so anyone will be able to use the cd to view the pictures. the problem is that most people do not have 1600x1200 monitors, so viewing will be a pain unless i can *also* provide, for computer viewing, say 640x480 images. there are a couple hundred pictures. opening them one after another in the gimp and downsizing them is something that unappeals to me so much you cannot believe it. additionally, i want to preserve the filenames, perhaps with an "s" prepended to each for the small images, so that people who want to have prints made will be able to know the proper filename. i am hoping that there is some utility that will do this as a batch, and perhaps a script that will do it all on one pass. i have no idea where to begin to look. suggestions? thanks. -- dep There is sobbing of the strong, And a pall upon the land; But the People in their weeping Bare the iron hand; Beware the People weeping When they bare the iron hand. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
