Use the right tool for the job. For example GNOME Photo Printer http://www.fogman.de/?GnomePhotoPrinter

Sven's solution looks good, and in fact, I'm going to try it. http://www.fogman.de/?GnomePhotoPrinter

I used a GIMP Action from deviantart to create a contact sheet for all images found in a directory.

There is also a "Contact Sheet" in the Gimp registry. But I have not tried that one.

Hi,

One more thing...

A gotcha I need to point out about the scripts written for GIMP for Windows that you want to run on Linux.

Notice the lines:

Windows: (filelist (cadr (file-glob (string-append load "\\*" a) 1)))

Linux: (filelist (cadr (file-glob (string-append load "/*" a) 1)))

I had to change this line in the script from deviantart because I wanted to run this on Linux. I haven't done any research on making this portable on both platforms (ie., Is there a test to see if it is Windows or Linux?). This was my quick fix to get the immediate job done.

Is there a better solution?

Thank you.
