Thumbnailer Efficiency

SpookyET

I think Thumbnailer can be modified to be more effective. The high point of Filebrowser is that it is much easier to upload photos via ftp than using a web form, but thumbnailing is annoying because it is a huge manual process. It should be a one click process. 1. click 2. get all the files recursively 3. sort them in descending order by the most recent 4. check if it has thumbnail > if not generate and continue > else stop Point 4 assumes that if it found a thumbnailed image, the rest will be thumbnailed, so there is no point in checking all files. I like FileBrowser. I even modified it to work with flash: http://www.ksuicehockey.com/media/index.php?fpp=10&did=1-0-0&fid=1 Granted, it doesn't know how to create a flash thumbnail. I wonder how youtube reads the video, takes a frame and generates a thumbnail.
