Print the content of a directory in jpg file
Is there any possible way to print the contents of a directory to a .jpg file? I have a list of thumbnails (e-books) which I want to share (+500) but I don't know how to make this.

I would appreciate a lot any comments regarding this issue.

What exactly do you want to do? Create a "screenshot" of the directory listing? Create thumbnails for those ebooks? Create a HTML file for existing screenshots? What have you tried so far?

Hi, I would like to create a screenshot of the directory listing. Certainly I've seached for it but found nothing could help me. Maybe I'm not looking the right way or with the exactly words. I hope you got my point on this issue mate, thanks for your response. Smilie

As far as I know there isn't a simple way to do this on the command line. Probably the easiest way would be to write a small Perl script to read the directory, use stat() on the entries and use that information to create an image using GD (or similar).

Why must it be an image, incidentally?
