Yep, I agree 100% with that ... relatively little knowledge of a couple of good programs can work wonders, and until we all get cable - compromise would be a major consideration.

So I suppose, practically, for most of us it would be something like mopics from the contribution forums and a program that will batch process images to thumbnails.

Did we agree on which was the most suitable contribution?  I think Deborah listed a whole load in another thread and gave a good synopsis of them all.  A search for image thumbnails should find it.

For the program side, I like Fireworks for batch processing thumbs ... but I'm sure theres a cheaper method.  I guess the keyword for anyone with lots of pics who might be reading this hoping to get something cost effective together would be "batch process" ... I have seen a few cheaper programs that don't offer this facility.

For anyone with the server side capability, I did download thumbs3 from the contributions.  Its dead easy to install, but I have not had any time to evaluate it as I'm still running that site on my local server for development - so I can't evaluate the speed gains.

Good luck ... let me know if anyone sorts this out using OSC alone.
