Thanks!
That's what I was searching for....

This one is another great mod that is a "must have".
I got it to work in no time and it's great.

There is one thing however. It's been asked before, but I'll ask anyhow.
It works great for image that aren't in the db, but would there be a way
to use this (mainly resizer and mover to "big" folder) for images uploaded
through the CP?
Perhaps I should ask a different way, could there be an option in "Add images"
that would offer an option to add the image to the db or not?
You know what I mean? It would upload the file to the folder, but if you'd
have the "Add image to DB?" option turned OFF, it wouldn't add it, so you
could find it with this mod and modifiy it further.
Could something like that be done?

TIA!

Sorry, I dont see why would you needed it...upload your files via FTP its faster, easier and more practical.

[Optimum]

Yes, that's the way I'm doing it, but I'm uploading in bunches, not 1-3 files at a time.
But to be honest, would be great to have that if you need to upload just an image or two. It would resize automaticaly (copy to big folder without the need to manualy make folders and resize the image), make annotations (if I manage to get it working), make thumbs as well..

But the big problem for me is, I have two other people (also admins) who don't know ANYTHING about Photoshop, ftp programs, etc.. so they'll only use that Add Image function. Right now, I'm not even sure if they can upload big pictures (with the required big folder, for your "Open in new window mod"). Only small ones I think. And even with that, I'd have to teach them how to upload, how to resize and how to thumbnail. You made a great mod I just though a option like this would bring it closer to the less technical people.
I just thought it would be great if you could do the whole thing with two-three clicks. Fastest and easyest for 1-3 images imo.

Regards,
Mat

I guess, you've lost...this mod does exactly that. All you need is upload big images into /data/media/xx/ folders and run the check images script, it will create big folders (if needed), resize images, create thumbnails and add annotation. just set it up properly and you all set.

[Optimum]

Yes V@no, I know that, I've been using it that way, that's why I installed it

BUT, this works ONLY if you ftp the files, doesn't work if you use the Add Images function, right?
And there is my problem. I'd like to use it for those files as well. I know the "problem" is, that Add Images also adds them into the database. So the thing to do here, is to modify the Add Images and add an option "Write to DB?". That way, when turned off, images wouldn't be written to the DB and I could use your Check Images mod to work with them..
You know what I mean? Could it be done?

TIA,
Mat

EDIT: Problem fixed through Add Images.

That's a great mod.
JUst one question - not sure if it's from the mod or custom settings.
If I want to display 100 images (new) and set auto-resizer to off automatically where would I change that?
Currently the standard setting is 30 to display and resizer on.

[V@no]

search in the file for number 30 and replace with number 100

[Gwydion]

Um .. which file?

[V@no]

c'mon!

[Gwydion]

I have added that mod a while ago and I have not much knowledge about how such scripts work.
Sorry. :/
Is it checkimages.php?

ETA: silly me. Of course it is. Thanks!

[V@no]
