Yes, I know what you mean. I resorted to HTML albums through my webserver, writing the HTML to display a gallery to my preferences. Which does mean that any PC on the LAN can view them without needing anything special, but may be more malarkey than you want to deal with, and a pain if you want a slideshow view (doable, but more of a hassle to write the pages to work both ways). The alternative was to name files like you wrote line numbers for BASIC programming back in the 1980s - you increment file numbers by ten, by default, leaving space for insertions. Another alternative would be to use a presentation program, like OpenOffice.org Impress (no, not really, I don't like it much...). With one of them, you can drop images into them in the sequence that you want, it doesn't care how they're dated or named. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
