Whoops! I hit send before typing anything.

If you mean the command line for "configure", then I'm afraid I can't help - I
can't remember exactly what I did. Typing:
gift-add-collection.pl --help
yields:
....
--url-prefix This URL-trunc will be prepended
to the file names generated. Default:
file:-URL to images
Current value: file:/home/users/davids/XsaPattern/
--thumbnail-url-prefix This URL-trunc will be prepended
to the thumbnail file names generated.
file:-URL to thumbnails
Current value:
file:/home/users/davids/XsaPattern_thumbnails
Note that this is referring to the file URLs, not the "http" ones.

I've just done it, and it is now running and works. I guess it will be in the
patches which I eventually send to you....
