best software for generating thumbnail images
« on: May 01, 2010, 06:28:33 PM »
hi all

Whats the best way to generate thumbnail images? I've got around 500 jpegs that I'd like to have a thumbnail image for each but I can't seem to find a decent app that does it.

Thanks

Fantastic! Ive spent ages trying to devlop a quicj way to get pictures of mY DSLR ont my Amiga and I had come up with a couple of scripts but nothing close to this!

The first script I had coipied the jpegs off the CF card to a temp folder. The second then resized the images to make them mor euseable on the Amiga - juggling 4-5MB image files was just too slow, so the is second script reduces them to hi-res images 640x480, which is good enough for me. But what I was struggling to do was attach a nice thumbnail icon so I could see what each file was a picture of.

I'll try your script and see how I get on.

Very much appreciated.

All thanks for the suggestions. I've given PhotoAlbum a go and its looks really cool. Its very quick generating the thumbs on my A4000D, much faster than some other appls I've tried.Worht the 20 Euro (on-line) registration.registration could be easier if author accepted paypal gift rather than bank transfer, especially for those of us not residing in Germany.
