Would you like to display your favorites images inside an image gallery?
Download Free Flash Image Gallery
Select your images
Images should be JPGs and saved as non-progressive. It is preferably to put all images in the gallery folder.
Create thumbnails
Create thumbnails with an image editing program. Thumbnails should be at least 70×70 pixels (larger thumbnail images will be cropped).
Put all the thumbnails in the gallery folder. Thumbnails should be with different names from large images.
Edit images.xml
Open the file images.xml with a text editor (Notepad, TextPad or some other text editor…).
You will notice that the XML file has a special structure in order to describe the images in the gallery.
All images are described with the following XML tags located between the <images> and </images> tags.
<pic>
<image>Location of the big image</image>
<thumbnail>Location of the thumbnail</thumbnail>
<caption>Description, title or name of the image</caption>
</pic>
<image>Location of the big image</image>
<thumbnail>Location of the thumbnail</thumbnail>
<caption>Description, title or name of the image</caption>
</pic>
Here is a example of an actual image.
<pic>
<image>gallery/1.jpg</image>
<thumbnail>gallery/s1.jpg</thumbnail>
<caption>Some lamp on the ground</caption>
</pic>
<image>gallery/1.jpg</image>
<thumbnail>gallery/s1.jpg</thumbnail>
<caption>Some lamp on the ground</caption>
</pic>
You can place as many images as you want between the <images> and </images> tags describing each image in the way shown here.

How can I change ftp timeout – yo5oee
Sep 19, 2009 FAQ
In some cases when you upload a big file to a server, after the file upload had been finished the ftp program notify you that the connection timed out.
The timeout is controlled by the server. You can configure your ftp client to send noop command to the server in order to keep the connection open. Even this option is available, some servers ignores the noop command.
In this case contact your hosting company and ask to extend the ftp connection timeout.
I am using Krusader on Ubuntu but the timeout issue rarely appeared to me.

The main goal is to find and highlight keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, etc. and these combinattion:

I have never heard about such a multiple keyword search addon. I looked for it on Firefox addon page but found nothing.
