% foreach i (*.jpeg)
foreach? setenv b `basename $i .jpeg`
foreach? djpeg -pnm $i | pnmscale -width 150 > ${b}.ppm
foreach? end
% ppmquantall 128 *.ppm

Is there any special reason, why you chose GIF in the end for the thumbnails?
Normally photos should have better quality if saved as JPGs, shouldn't they?.
Color control to stay within the same 128 choosen before? Never tried this with
JPGs before, is it impossible there?

Just curious and for sure OT ;-)
