How does auto-thumbnailing work

[chillin]

I'm not all to sure exactly how auto-thumbnailing works.. im using imagemagick and have it pointed to convert.exe, when i tried it for the first time it found a few images that didn't have thumbnails and converted them fine or so it seems. but since that first time now when i have new images put into the database they autothumbnailer doesn't find the images. I entered the pictures in the same way as the others (copying the picture files into the numbered dir then checking for new images in the admin section).

how can batch upload a bunch of pictures and have this program create the thumbnails?

To fix ImageMagic problem:

in /includes/image_utils.php find:    
Code:

Code: [Select]

if (!@is_executable($convert_options['convert_path'])) {
      $convert_options['convert_error'] = "<b class=\"marktext\">".$lang['im_error']."</b><br />\n".$lang['check_module_settings'];
    }
    break;


and just coment it like this: Code:

Code: [Select]

/*    if (!@is_executable($convert_options['convert_path'])) {
      $convert_options['convert_error'] = "<b class=\"marktext\">".$lang['im_error']."</b><br />\n".$lang['check_module_settings'];
    }
*/    break;
