Creating an Image Gallery
If you have a large collection of images in a directory, you may find it difficult to
manage them. Konqueror can help you by creating an HTML file with thumb-
nails. Open the respective directory in Konqueror and select ‘Tools’ ➝ ‘Create
Image Gallery’. A dialog opens in which to specify the page title, the number of
thumbnails per line, the background and foreground colors, and some other de-

Managing Passwords with KWallet Manager
To remember all the passwords for protected resources to which you need to log
in can be problematic. KWallet remembers them for you. It collects all passwords
and stores them in an encrypted file. With a single password, open your wallet to
view, search, delete, or create new entries. Normally you do not need to insert an
entry manually. KDE recognizes if a resource requires authentication and KWallet
starts automatically.
