Photo Gallery Forums

Two problems:

1. The software appears to be cropping some pictures when I do not want it too. Check out this image. The original shows more of my body, not just my head. The image is a tall one. How can I get imagevue to show the entire image for the thumbnail AND the full size image.

2. This just started and I cannot figure out if I changed a setting. When using the admin pages to edit individual images' names, descriptions etc., the individual images are now displaying massively, i.e. their full original size. They are taking up like 3 computers screens of size. Before they were neatly sized within the window and I could see the full image. Again this is within the admin pages, when I select individual images. This happens in all folders for all images.

1. You are using very large images - That image is 2592x3888 pixels! Not only will it take ages for the image to load for visitors, but the image will scale down anyway -

The reason why it gets cut off, is because FLASH has a limit for the dimensions it allows displaying. Your images is cut off at somewhere around 2000px.

Is there any reason why you have not resized your images before upload? It is recommended that you create more "web-friendly" sizes ...

2. This issue has the same cause as above. Your images are displaying that large, simply because they ARE that large. The only reason they are smaller in the flash interface, is because the frontend gallery resizes images by default to fit screen. The same question applies from above.

Maybe on day in the *far* future a feature could be added that when a huge file is uploaded a third image is created that would look good within Flash. So the thumbnail would be used on the thumbnail screen, this new image would be used for for non-thumbnail view within ImageVue X2 and then the original image would be used for onclick, download or pop-up actions.

This would be great for those who use X2 for a image depository.

Yes, I agree such a feature would be the ultimate solution. Not having to worry about sizes when uploading - Creating a web-friendly size on-the-fly, and maintaining xlarge images for archives.

There is however one problem which currently prevents us from doing this: 99% of Commercial servers don't allow resizing images that big. Mostly the limit is set at around 1280x1024. If you try to resize(or even create a thumbnail) for a larger image, an error will occur within the PHP script. This is because most websites use "shared-servers" with a maximum memory allocation for scripted tasks like that.

We did have in mind for the future, a possible client side admin-uploader-module. This little app would take care of uploading the image, and also resizing it client size before uploading.

Fantastic - I can't wait!

sorry, no improvements here yet ... you may have to create thumbnails manually for large images like that, or first upload a smaller version so that it creates the thumbnail before uploading larger images.

If you have access you your server configs or just friendly hoster support you can increase php memory limit to like 128 megs and it will work with large images too.

its a commercial hosting will be hard but i will try.

but maybe i will create a SW to make thumb later i will add a ftp uploader

edit

ha hosting rise memory_limit up to 128MB and now all works great.

about resize tools i will talk with friend and maybe we can do some extra small free SW.
