snapGallery article
The Wiltshire News wrote a very nice article about snapGallery called Snappy way to share photos.
The one criticism the article mentions is that snapGallery won't create thumbnails of photos. That's true, and I haven't found a way to do it without completely changing what snapGallery is. I could write it as a Visual Basic application and include the thumbnail option, but that would take away its simplicity. The fact that it is a script written in text rather than compiled code means that it's very flexible and customizable. Plus there's nothing to install. (It also means people who aren't hard core programmers can send in their modified versions to share with others.) If there's a way to resize images via WSH, I haven't found it yet. I hope I can find the answer because I agree with the article and everyone who has written in suggesting it, that would be a great feature.

...On the other hand, you never know how boring the next photo may be (coughAlaska)!
Sorry PB; but if news of Snap Gallery has spread to deepest Wiltshire then you must be doing something right.
