The following comes from Jason Scott and is posted here with permission under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

The script expands a zip or rar archive of images, makes thumbnails, and compiles the thumbnails into a single JPG to represent what's in the archive. Requires ImageMagick.

Code:



#!/bin/sh

# GALLERATE: Turn a zip of images into a gallery.

# From Jason Scott. http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/000137.html

if [ -f "$1" ]

   then

   rm -rf .galleryworld

   echo "[%] Preparting to squat out $1...."

   mkdir .galleryworld

   cd .galleryworld

   unzip -j "../$1"

   unrar e -ep "../$1"

   echo "[%] WHY DOES IT HURT!!!!"

   montage +frame +shadow +label -tile 7 *.JPG *.GIF *.gif *.jpg *.bmp *.png *.PNG *.BMP "../$1.jpg"

   cd ..

   rm -rf .galleryworld

   ls -l "$1.jpg"

  else

  echo "No such file, assmaster."

fi

Usage:



GALLERATE [file]

where [file] is the zip or rar archive of images to be processed.
