Dear Sebastian Rahtz
I have been vaguely aware that there are lots of
interesting files sitting on my hard disk. No problem
for jpgs and gifs etc - my filemanager can show them as
thumbnails. But it cant do this for pdfs.
So I just hacked a perl script that runs through the pdfs
and spits out an html page, with thumbnails as clicky
links to each pdf.
And I immediately found lots and lots of hidden treasures
sitting in my directory TeXLive2005.
For which I thank you.
This is a purely private enterprise - the html layout is
not good, and my perl script is not fit for public
viewing - but I would like to suggest that your users
would be grateful for something like this in the next
edition of TeXLive
