That's what open source is all about :-)
Thank you for your kind comments.
the only drawback about doing it this way is that the reduced size
display images are only created when they are viewed for the first time.
This makes the first viewing rather slow, especially if the source
images are large. As I have a six megapixel camera, I tend to batch
reduce the picture in size prior to uploading (I upload pics from my
phone as they are.) I leave final reduction to the software.
I'm thinking of adding a link to the large image if I can do it without
losing the simplicity.
