Hi,

I have about 200 pictures to be turned into a gallery. I made myself a
template page (http://home.arcor.de/tilman.hesse/gallery.htm , if you
care for HTML)

My question: the page contains links like ../001.jpg or ../001/. What
software will create 200 files and automatically increment the link
numbers accordingly? That way, I'd only have to add the title
attributes by hand.

I could write myself some C program, but isn't there stuff out that
does these kinds of things? A good manual is something I appreciate in
software...

TIA & good night

Perl is much easier to use for that kind of thing than C. Set up a loop
that increments a number and use a regular expression to make the
substitution on each line using the number. The links below may also help.

This sort of request is highly specific to an application. It is not
likely you'll find a program to do exactly what you want.
The basic idea is simple, though. The program (written in C, perl,
batch, shell, etc) gets a list of files from the directory that contains
the image files, loops through the list outputting the HTML (<img
src="..." alt="..." title="...">) for each image. Add header and trailer
HTML code as required. Depending on what you want for titles, even that
may be part of the program.

Hallo Tilman,

I would suggest doing the page dynamically.
One way would be with Javascript, but then, unfortunately,
not everybody has Javascript enabled.
The other way, a PHP script would be a sturdier solution if
your server has that capability.

Try ThumbHTML - it doesn't do what you asked for (renaming the jpgs) but
given a bunch of jpg files it will generate a gallery, with all navigation,
thumbnail previews and so on. It is pretty configurable too. Find it here

No connection except as a satisfied user.
