DC01 Image Gallery

Design:
The images and the order in which they appear in the galleries on this page are described on this page.

Folder and Image Names:
The names of the folders and the image names can be exactly as they are found on the camera user's computer. The images folder on the web page contains a 2 folder sequence for each gallery. Only the lowest folder contains any images. Three versions of each image are stored in the lowest folder. The three image versions correspond to three different resolutions of each image, which are:
. .(suffix) resolution. . . .description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . size
. . . (-) . . high . . . . . . Resolution of camera image ....e.g.8,000,000 bytes
. . . (m) . medium . . . Medium resolution (web page) e.g.....200,000 bytes
. . . (t) . . low. . . . . . . Low resolution (thumb nail) ....e.g.......10,000 bytes
The names of high-resolution images can be exactly as they appear on the user's camera. The images must be jpg format. The best hi-res image names are 8 characters long. Users will often need to wait for large hi-res images to be downloaded. But such wait-times should only be necessary if an image is going to be printed. A suffix of "m" indicates that the image is of good size to be both viewed and be moved within the web. A suffix of "t" indicates that the image is a small thumbnail size that permits many thumbnails to be rapidly viewed on each page.

The Names of the hi-res images in each lowest folder must be unique. But the same image name can be used in any different (lowest) folder(s).

The Captions for the photos are originally stored in a file named "Descript.ion". The "Descript.ion" file must be in the same (lowest) folder as the hi-res images. The "Descript.ion" file contains the Caption text for each image in the (lowest) folder. Each row in the "Descript.ion" file must contain the image name followed by a space followed by the Caption text. The image names can be in any order, but each image name should only appear once. Some (or all) of the images can be missing. The inexpensive "ACDSee" program can be conveniently used to create the "Descript.ion" file. The inexpensive "CuteFTP" program lists the caption for each image if the "Descript.ion" file accompanies the images in the lowest folder on the web server. An example follows:
---scan0001.jpg . . 908.90 KB JPG File 18/04/2005 -rw-r--r-- Thurman House 1995
---scan0001m.jpg 128.40 KB JPG File 18/04/2005 -rw-r--r--
---scan0001t.jpg . . 18.30 KB JPG File 18/04/2005 -rw-r--r--
The caption appears in the "Descript.ion" file as follows:
---"scan0001.jpg Thurman House 1995"

Lower Resolution Images:
The lower resolution Images can be created using the free program created by Mihov. The resizer program can be downloaded free from the Mihov site at http://www.mihov.com. The program is described as follows:
---Mihov Image Resizer - Just one program of Miha's utilities - Mihov ...Mihov Image Resizer is a handy tool for batch resizing, rotating and converting images or your favorite pictures in bmp, jpg, and gif formats.

"genealogy_html" folder:
A small number of different folders exist under the "genealogy_html" folder. At time of writing, only three folders exist: documents, images and NWEB1. The "images" folder contains all of the images that are stored in the "TreeLeavesByCole" site. The "NWEB1" folder contains a genealogy tree generated by the GRAMPS software. The "documents" folder contains non-image genealogy data.
The "genealogy_html" folder also contains files. Most of the files are html pages that comprise the "TreeLeavesByCole" site. The "index.html" file in the "genealogy_html" folder is the first file (web-page) that is run when the web page begins.

Web Page Structure:
The home page contains three types of sub-pages:
---Image Galleries
---Family Trees
---Related Pages

Image Galleries:
One image gallery is listed on each row. If an thumb-nail index exists, it can be viewed by clicking on the word "Thumb" to the left of the gallery name. Most galleries can also be viewed by surfing through the gallery, one image at a time. To see a larger view of each image, simly click on the image. Clicking on a thumbnail opens a new window containing a web-sized view of the image. Clicking on the web-sized view of the image opens a new window containing the highest resolution size of the image that is available. For most galleries, one can surf through the gallery, viewing a web-page-sized view of each image, one per page. Any of the images can be downloaded at any resolution. But images can only be downloaded one by one, not in groups.
The name of each thumbnail index of a gallery is prefixed by the gallery number eg "_dc01_gall". The name of the image pages that form a linked chain are of the format "d01p000003".

Living Persons:
Most genealogy data on the web protects the identity of living persons. If living persons are listed, the birthdates and addresses of the people are not listed. Some pictures of living persons are available on web-sites, but they are usually password-protected. If any confidental or erroneous data about you, appears on this site, contact the WebMaster at (davidcole3@aol.com) to discuss the matter.

Family Trees:
Family Trees are presented on the web in various layouts. The family trees listed all contain approximately the same genealogical data, but the amounts of information and the manner of presentation vary greatly.

Related Pages:
The related pages are all self-explanatory. Each page provides in-depth details about a topic or event identified in the data base.

Down-Loadable Data:
Future versions of this web page will permit users to download various genealogical documents. The first documents to be made downloadable will be GEDCOM versions of various genealogy databases.

Known Bugs:
The link to Marion COle Painting Gallery on p dc02_gall is broken
The link to Chillers on index.html is broken
