[TriLUG] Digital Photos, Thumbnails, and Web Pages

[Scott Chilcote]

Hi Folks,

After taking several pictures at our Thanksgiving event last month, I 
got requests to send the pictures to some of my relatives.  I'm pretty 
sure they don't want thirty or so 3-megapixel images arriving in their 
mailboxes.

I thought I'd put up a restricted web page with thumbnail images, and 
let  them download what they want.  My first notion was to make the 
thumbnails using Imagemagik's convert utility, and .htaccess to keep the 
pictures from showing up in google's image database.

Then it occurred to me that someone's probably already found a way to 
automate this.  I looked on freshmeat and tried "thumbnails", but it's 
more than what I need.  It has a cgi-bin directory and requires 
webserver config changes.

I'm looking for something basic.  I'd write it myself if I had less 
going on right now.

What are other people using to accomplish this?

Thanks!
