That's just what I had hit upon. Either way, the organization is static, so rather than browsing directories with a file manager, I'll just create a hierarchy of static html pages to browse with a web browser.
Actually, I'm modifying a package that creates the web pages automatically, along with thumbnails, using the existing directory structure (webimage is the name of the package). I'm adding to it to automatically detect symbolic links, and put the symlink target in the <img> tag.
So, the end result is that I'll have both structures.
Thanks for the suggestion!
By the way, dereferencing the links wasn't going to work. I have over 2G of pics, many of which would have been copied multiple times to different albums. I would have quickly overfilled the DVD on which I'm going to distribute the album. And for the same reason (the shear number of pictures) a DVD slideshow wan't really practicable either.
