Browser directroy listing with thumbnails
by keirvt from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5809F)
I have a number of directories on a linux based web server that contain jpg images.
To distribute images to my friends I create a directory in /var/www/html/myphotos and put any images in there.
Using a browser, entering the web address and the directory name a list of the images is shown on the browser. The listing shows a "blank" thumbnail next to the filename. There is no html code required for this to happen. The problem is anyone wanting to access the picture cant see what the image is until the download it on their computer. I can name the files more intelligently than what the camera does automatically but this is time consuming.
Is it possible to create thumbnails and have a thumbnail image appear in browsers directory listing without having to write any html code?
