A Python script that uses PIL to generate thumbnail images.

  1. I was looking on the internet for help on how to make thumbnails and this site popped up, so with that said I hope that I am not completely off topic or anything. I am making a website for myself and my family... however most of my family is too cheap for anything but dialup, so I dont want to have alot of things on my site that will make it take a long time for them to view it. On the other hand, I want to have pictures and stuff on there. I so far am planning to shrink pictures to about 6kb and then have hyperlinks in the pictures to a larger version of same picture..but this is going to take FOREVER. Is there a faster way to make a group of pictures 'thumbnails' or is this the way everyone does it... one item at a time? any thoughts would be great, because I am pretty new at this. Thanks everyone!

  2. you need to make a script to generate the thumbnails only once every time that you update the pictures. if you have SSH or telnet access to your website then you can do this. This way, the thumbs are not generated every time soemone views the page, but is generated once and then a page is generated to look at them. I think this is the more common approach. for myself, i have a python setup where it reads a directory and makes thumbs for all the images. then i have a script to navigate the photo album, where it displays the thumbs as links pointint to the real thing, formatted nicely of course.

    hope this helps

  3. If you're not behind a firewall, and you've already downloaded the lastest java plugin the applet should now be working for you. If it is still not working, try clicking on Start -> Control Panel -> Java Plug-in -> Browser-> select your browser. If your iMSG applet is working the Big2 game should work also.
