thumbnail_index(1)	     General Commands Manual	      thumbnail_index(1)

NAME
     thumbnail_index - make an HTML index file for a bunch of images

SYNOPSIS
     thumbnail_index [-r] [-s size] [-c cols] [-i indexname]

DESCRIPTION
     Run this script in a web directory consisting of all or mostly image files.
     It'll create an index.html of thumbnail images, putting the thumbnail files
     in a hidden subdirectory.

     It  avoids  unnecessary  work  by	comparing  the dates on already existing
     thumbnail files and not re-creating them if the corresponding original  has
     not changed.

     It also refuses to overwrite an index.html file not created by this script.

OPTIONS
     -r     Recursively makes index files for all subdirectories.

     Specifies the size of the thumbnail image.
	    Default  is  70 pixels.  If you want to re-do an already indexed di-
	    rectory but use different size thumbnails, you have  to  remove  the
	    old thumbnails.  An "rm -rf .thumbnails" should suffice.

     -c     Specifies how many columns of images.  Default is 5.

     -i     Specifies  the  filename  of  the index file.  Default is index.html
	    (some sites use .index.html instead).
