That's the result of Curator: http://furius.ca/curator/ I've been using it for 7+ years. Debian dropped the package sometime back, before Etch IIRC. Last time I installed it I grabbed it from SourceForge. It's a python app so you need python and you'll need the imagemagick tools. Unfortunately its functions are written in a manner that psyco can't optimize. It's plenty fast though if you're doing a directory structure with only a couple hundred pic files or less. My server is pretty old, 550MHz, and I've got a couple of dirs with thousands of image files. It takes over 12 hours to process them. It processes all subdirs under a dir. I've found no option to disable this. Thus, be mindful of the way you setup your directory structures. Even if nothing in a subdir has changed since the last run, curator will still process all subdirs. It's pretty fast at doing so, but if you have 100 subdirs with 100 files in each that's 10,000 image files to be looked at, and bumps up the run time. With any modern 2-3GHz x86 AMD/Intel CPU you prolly don't need to worry about the speed of curator. I've never run it on a modern chip, just my lowly, but uber cool, vintage Abit BP6 dual Celeron 3...@550 server, which is the server in those photos. I have a tendency to hang onto systems as long as they're still useful. At one time it was my workstation/gaming rig. Those dual Celerons are now idle 99%| of the time, and the machine is usually plenty fast for any interactive command line or batch work I need to do. Of note, if you've been reading this thread, you'll notice I use this script and ImageMagick's convert utility to resize my camera photos before running curator on them, since I can now resize them almost twice as fast, running 2 parallel convert processes. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
