My latest thumbnail page scripts [New script added]

These are much better than the earlier scripts in that they are completely automatic in operation, just open a terminal in the folder containing the images and call the script with appropriate arguments, and it will run to completion and open one of the made thumbnail pages for your preview. They take about 30 minutes on a 2ghz machine for 1,000 images, and makes 6x4 pages.

I've found that you can't just copy and paste the script from the web page, the browser renders just enough of it to corrupt the code, you have to right click on the link to the page and save as, then strip the code out of the page. I'll redo that so that you can just download the files in text for in  a bit. I have a lot of changes to make.

PS: It's only been two days since I made this post and a lot of things have happened. I cleared up a little problem in the file renaming part of the scripts, and I've even made a nice little user interface that lets you input your options, thanks to Zenity for that. Nice little application Zenity. I've also nearing completed making thumbnail based versions as opposed to the map based, actually it uses the map building part of Imagemagick but keeps the thumbnails and throws away the maps. Then it's edited to include javascript and style. Looks nearly identical to the map version but works differently. So there'll be six different formats to choose from, all accessed by the GUI, plus some utils and a few other things in the final package.

This is my very latest. Take if for a test run in one of your image directories. It completely builds a multipage album, 24 images to a page, including an index page for all the thumbnail pages. It requires no intervention after directory selection, which is done through zenity. I've run it with as many as 1,500 images in a folder, it took about 25 minutes to complete.

Now you can get an improved version from my web site. I've added an example album made with it.
