My /images directory on my websites always grows over the years, as I add
things, but rarely remove them. I'd like to clean out the\images directories,
leaving only those that have tags in the current website's html files. I've
seen numerous "link checker" programs, even used a couple, but those look for
anchor tags, not image tags.

Isn't there some simple program out there that will list all the images used
on a current website?

Thanks much,
Larry L

grep -i "<img" -r *

On windows, there is a PHP extension in pear. I'm uncertain how you
would implement that if you are on a hosted server.

Try Xenu. It lists referenced and orphaned (old and forgotten) files.

What I'd do is scan your log files and pull out all the image files that
have been requested in the last 4 months; deduplicate. Then move those
images into a "safe" place, and delete whatever's left.

Don't use a /images directory, or if you do, just keep it for "site
furniture". Place page-specific images in the directory with the page,
and use plenty of directories to permit a well-organised structure.

There is just no reason to separate images off away from their pages,
and it causes the sort of link management trouble you're having here.

From this I conclude that nobody (or at least not Andy) is using a
virtual image file scheme to prevent hotlinking? Probably for reasons
of performance I'd guess. So it goes.
