Full size pictures are located in ./pictures and have two sub-levels:

./pictures
  /Country-Name
    /City-Name
      /img.jpg, img.jpg
    /City-Name
      /img.jpg, img.jpg
  /Country-Name
    ...

To resize the pictures and generate thumbnails run the Ruby script:

ruby tasks/pictures.rb

The resized pictures and thumbnails will be saved in ./assets/pictures. This folder will be copied by Jekyll.

Also it will generate a ./_data/pictures.json file which holds all Countries, Cities and Filenames. This means all the pictures will be available to Jekyll and can be iterated with the template system.

Furthermore the ./_data/pictures.json file is symlinked to ./assets/pictures.json and copied on building the Jekyll site. That way you can request all the pictures with a Ajax request, for example.

The thumbnails are in the same folder as the corresponding pictures, and named like picture_thumb.jpg. You can use the Liquid filter thumb_name to generate these names:

{{ picture.jpg | thumb_name }}  ->  picture_thumb.jpg
