I have now tried the package and it works great. (Although the quality of the generated thumbnails is not the best, but hey, you can't have it all... )
Thanks for your help Tor!
Btw. documentation regarding mkjpegthumb is somewhat limited Does anyone have some documentation on the command except from --help option?

Hi dengamle,
Regarding mkjpegthumb. That is actually stolen directly from the spgm distribution, should be found in the tools directory named genthumb.sh. I have only modified it to use epeg instead of imagemagick.

I would really like a wee app that will copy photos from my /home/storage/pictures/ folder to /home/web/gallery/gal/ folder and resize to a suitable resolution for web viewing, Possibly 800x600.
Then for it to go through a second run coping and renaming photos to create thumbnails.
And ideally scheduled to run at quite time in the early hours of the morning.
Can mkjpegthumb be set to do this?

Hi GaryL,
I'm quite sure you could do something like this by creating a script which loops through your folders and calls mkjpegthumb. This script could be scheduled to run at night using cron.
I have thought about creating this myself for a long time but haven't found the time for it yet. So I can't make any promises on when I will get around to doing it...
Since it is an obvious thing to want on a system where you have your galleries, I wonder if someone else has created this script?
I will of course let you know if I create this script before someone else posts their solution in this thread. But don't count on it happening too soon
Best regards dengamle.
