I have a lot of pictures from my digital camera that I want to make into a simple web page. I was wondering if anybody knows of a program that can generate a web page like this. I used ACDSee on Windows, and I was very happy with how it did.
Here's what ACDSee did: I told it what pictures I wanted to make into a web page, it gave me options of how many rows and columns to have on a page, and other stuff like that. It would then generate thumbnails for all of the images, and link it so that if you click on the thumbnail, you go to the full size picture.
Does anybody know of linux software that does something similar?
While on the subject of images, is what is that easiest way to batch process a lot of image files to resize them to a percentage of the original size?
Open up the directory containing the images in konqueror file manager then do <Ctrl>+<I> and konq will make an image gallery with thumbs and links to the full images, then you can edit the html to disply the images in a page.
Modified index,
Well, I did some searching on the internet, and found stuff that does exactly what I described here.
There's a gimp plugin called "dbp" that allows you to resize a batch of files (among other things), There's a little script called "album" that makes a web page and thumbnails out of a directory.
Aussie! You are a great man! I was looking for something EXACTLY like this, glad I did a search first. Thank you very much (What, uh, 9 months later? )
One feature that I'd like to see (and maybe exists but I can't find it) would be a thumb size. The images are just slightly smaller than I'd choose, but defintely work.
Open up the directory containing the images in konqueror file manager then do <Ctrl>+<I> and konq will make an image gallery with thumbs and links to the full images, then you can edit the html to disply the images in a page.
This is so cool, thanks. What other stupid tricks can Konq do?
Nice tip, Aussie. I need to try this with the pictures that I have of my 4 year old. I have been wanting to create a web site with some of his older pictures.
If you do a search on google for "album", the first thing that comes up is a utitility that makes photo albums out of directories of pictures. It has themes, creates thumbnails, lets you choose the thumbnail size, lets you caption each pictures, and makes very nice web pages. I find it very useful.
