Re: filmscanners: cd making question
I've been looking into automatic set-up of a web page thumbnail browser of a set of pictures and I have found the following quite good. http://www.hnm-freeware.com/ (click on web gallery creator) Jpeg only http://basepath.com/Albumatic/ can cope with TIFF (uncompressed) as well as jpeg - it can also do a webpage with frames. Neither can do a slide show but both could be set up to auto-start on a CD by adding autorun.inf as described below in the original message. You could also set them up to produce a set of thumbnails that could be used as a CD cover.

RE: filmscanners: cd making question
Just a note, Adobe PS6.0 will create a web gallery from pictures in a set of directories for you with or without frames.

At 03:50 PM 6/22/01, you wrote: Are these CD's for archiving purposes, or just to run a slide show? archiving Do you want the thumbnails to open the full size images when clicked on? yes It sounds like you want to create a web site that will run off a CD. It can be activated through autorun or from a splash screen that appears when you put the CD in. It's a two part process. Design the web site on your local machine and use an autorun program to burn it to a CD. I have a good autorun program that I use from: http://www.pollensoftware.com/autorun/index.html You also might try some of the CD software, like EZCD from Roxio: http://www.roxio.com/index.jhtml Not necessarily a web site, just a cd that can automatically open the thumbs, and then the full file (when a thumb is clicked) into PhotoShop or other imaging program, so then the file can be manipulated and saved to the hard drive or something other than back to the cd. I have EZCD 4 from adaptec and I have not figured out how to do this using that software. I'll have to experiment with it and some other things suggested on list. Thanks, Jules_C

There's a handy donationware executable, runfirst.exe which will automatically load the index page on Win machines when used in conjunction with a suitable autoplay.inf file. Instructions and runfirst.exe are contained in the attached runfirst.zip. It works very well.

Jules, Are these CD's for archiving purposes, or just to run a slide show? Do you want the thumbnails to open the full size images when clicked on?

Re: filmscanners: cd making question
On windows Set up a html file in the root directory to show the files (assume it is called index.html for this example) then create an autorun.inf file in the root directory of the CD with the following lines: [autorun] OPEN=start.exe index.html This will automatically start explorer with the file index.html.
