Hi John ..
well sort of yes what it is the structure of the gallery is the main
pictures in a dir then in a sub dir are the thumbnails which are
named such as img0005-s.jpg for the thumbnails and img0005.jpg for
the main pictures ,
it would make life a lot easier if the script was able to setup the
main and the thumbs correctly what happens right now is it sets both
to the main image name meaning i have to go in and edit up to 500
lines PITA there is enough variance to make the automatic find and
replace fail ..
Pete .
