Automatic thumbnailer?

[macfreak88]

Hi!,
I have an webserver with an homepage on it and i have a section with pictures, (a page with thumbnails which re-direct to the original sizeimage). And i think it is quite boring to make all the thumbnails. I do them in DreamWeaver but it wonder if there is any solution?

I think it would be cool to just put my pictures in my picture folder in the webserver and then it automaticly makes thunbnails from it. And the new pictures appear on the site with no coding.

That would be awsome !

try iview

this will make the html pages, the thumbnails and the images.

I agree, try iView, I've used it for about 4-5 years now.

Another thing, try >Scale By Percentage< (an Applescript).

Try W-Nailer (PHP Script) ; does quite a nice job for an on-the-fly thumbnailer.

You need to have PHP properly installed with GD support.

Cheers.

I think that is the script i want but do i have to install PHP on my Os X system first (i think i have to hehe). I saw an help page on apple´s site. What is the "GD" thing?

So if i have everything installed can i put pictures in a folder and then it will make thumbnails of it?

Anyway i´ll se that when i get home. Thanx a lot!

Sorry about the delayed response. I used Marc Liyanage (search on Google) who puts together some killer one-step installers for some Unix software components.

Until the author updates Nailer, I think you might have to stay with version 4.1.2 instead of the newer 4.2.1.

Good luck.
