Making pictures automatic fit into Greybox style

and php could probs do it, but it would require you to have some rights on the server, and generally be quite unsafe. It is more convenient to use the script on local computer (not online). And yes, I am far more 'at home' with C and C++

I tried it and got a little further. It asked me to if I wanted it to do like I said, and I said Y and enter. Then error occured.
Look at screenie.

I'll jump on MSN. That seems oddish message...

But one thing I wish to point out is small and big letters in folder names like Documents and Settings, My Pictures etc. (I am not sure if that is the problem though). Could you also check if there's file called directory_contents.txt written in the piccie folder?

Third screenie after testing if it had to do with capital letters etc.

Also we discussed on ICQ (Since I dont have MSN anymore) if it was possible for the program to assume some of the foldernames. We decided more or less that that would be very limited help, since it would work only with that one folder, and as soon as you want to do something a bit different everything gets messed up.
Then we discussed if it could be done so that the program was assuming that the images in the folder the program itself was within was the ones it was supposed to work with, and we decided that that would be cool.

Then we both had to leave, and we would talk later tonight.

It seems you forgot the starting " from 2.nd parameter. (template file path)
And at 2.nd attempt it seems that doImageFile.exe was not there anymore O_o (And also there seems to be one " missing

)

Please ensure the executable and template.txt are in the folder, and try copy pasting this:

doImageFile.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\Chtistian Toft\My Documents\My Pictures\skal sorteres" "C:\Documents and Settings\Chtistian Toft\My Documents\My Pictures\skal sorteres\template.txt" outputscript.html http://www.sfo-fu.dk/Fotogalleri/Example

If it does not work, then try copy pasting this:
doImageFile.exe "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Chtistian Toft\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\skal sorteres" "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Chtistian Toft\My Documents\\My Pictures\\skal sorteres\template.txt" outputscript.html http://www.sfo-fu.dk/Fotogalleri/Example

(Copy pasting: copy as usual, go to command prompt window, go to the folder where images, doImageFile.exe and template.txt resides, right click and select paste. )

Here's a simple version.

Instructions of usage:
1. Put template.txt and doImageFile.exe in the folder where your piccies are.
2. open command prompt, and go to the folder where images and template.txt and the proggie are.
2. type doImageFile.exe http://www.sfo-whateveritwas.dk/
3. hit enter.
