ThumbHTML
What is ThumbHTML?
ThumbHTML is a really useful piece of software for Windows which can
accomplish in a few minutes what would normally take a whole afternoon
to do.
What can I do with ThumbHTML?
If you have lots and lots of JPEG images
(for example, digital photographs from a digital camera) and want to
display
them to
the world,
the best way to do this is by using thumbnails. Thumbnails are
small images which give a rough idea (a "thumbnail sketch")
of what the full-size image is like. Generally, clicking on the thumbnail
will display the full size image. This has the advantage of not forcing
your users to download lots of information which they don't want to see,
but instead allows them to see a preview of your images before they download
the full-size images. Note that Thumb HTML currently only works with
JPEG, BMP and PNG images.
If you would like to process your images before creating thumbnails using
this program then download Irfanview
and use it to do your processing.
How do I get ThumbHTML?
- Pick your download option from the ThumbHTML
home page - the program runs on Windows 95/98/NT/Me/2000/XP
(Note that rather than holding a copy of the program on HGfL this link
now goes to the ThumbHTML home page so that you will always be able
to download the latest version of the program).
Once you have downloaded the ThumbHTML setup program from the page above,
you need to run the installation program which will install ThumbHTML.
Find the ThumbHTML setup program on your computer and double click on
it. The program creates HTML files, which you can edit in Dreamweaver
or any other HTML editor.
How do I use ThumbHTML?
 If
you are in a Hertfordshire school you can download the chapter on ThumbHTML
from the HGfL Dreamweaver manual.
Please note that although this chapter refers to an earlier version of
ThumbHTML, at the time of writing the current program is very similar to
that documented in chapter.
Happy thumbing! The ThumbHTML program was written by Jeff Waldock at
Sheffield Hallam University and is distributed with no warranty, guarantee,
or anything similar. HGfL cannot undertake any technical support for this
program.
