Upload image + Auto Thumbnail

[hugo]

Hi, when writing news article i would love to have some function like this:





You click browse(Prochazet) select file on HDD and upload, it automaticly create a thumbnail picture, down after this appears a list of uploaded images - if i click on thumb_image.jpg it automaticly generate a link to article something like:

Code Select Expand

[url=path/to/image/image.jpg][img]patch/to/thumbnail/thumb_imagen.jpg[/img][/url]

Icon selection exists in TP 0.8.6 Image upload is included in TP 0.9.5.

[hugo]

What do you mean by Icon selection, i wasn't talkin about any Icons ;o

If Image Upload is in the new version that's cool, also the auto thumbnail function would be cool too

The image upload in articles with 3 diffrent editors will be in the next release 2 comes with TP and the third will be an extra option for the ones that want to have it.

But you will still have to change the image size by your self even in the next release if Bloc don't add it in. I don't know if it is hard to do, so i cant say he will do it though.
But itÂÃ,´s a good suggestion

Thumbnails can be made by graphics script, there is one in 1.1 that can be used. They are good for pictures.

I was talking for icons about uploads not graphics for articles. Bloc uses there rather icons for identifying file type, that' s why I referred icons.

In graphics for articles there will be editor choise, image upload, image preview and directory selection options.

Don't know about scripts, but if you resize picture using html, it's small yeah but the whole client must download the whole image to see it.

So if there is news witch 10images he must downloaod them all even if he dont want to see them all in full-size. That's why thumbnails. And again i don't know how scripts works so don't blame me ;P

Oh I see, you talk about a completely different thing. It can be done easily with intros with smaller images (not HTML resized but resized in a graphics program). I find thumbnails here rather restricting.

I don' t think something like that is on Bloc' s plans, however he is who decides.

[hugo]

I think using GD1/2/Imagemagick witch are standart linux server tools to make you a thumbnail of uploaded image automaticlly is far better then doing it manually at home, don't you think

[bloc]

No, actually the quality is worse than most graphic programs. And you usually don't have the option of sharpenimg the thumbnails - which is often needed due to the resize routine. So its only good when you aren't so fuzzy about the thumbnails quality.

This you describe will be better off in a gallery module imho..where you need to have several sizes. In articles you most times just want to use a single size..not a bigger one for every image in the article.

:| i just seek some option to upload screenshot from game into a news article with a thumbnail, so i have to use some program on my PC make a thumb then upload both picture+thumb, and write the code for it ? ;o

Well can be done too i just think the G1/G2 could doit alot faster for me

Never mind was just a suggestion
