Customizable thumbnails

13 Jan 2009, 03:47

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if it's possible to create custom thumbnails. Couldn't find it (but I'm not a coder :))

For example: I'd like to zoom in on a specific detail from a picture and use this as a thumbnail. Clicking the thumbnail reveals the whole image.

:idea: :?:

PS: compliments on the imageveux app... works great!

Yes, you can create your own thumbnails. Simply overwrite the default ones that are created like "tn_filename.jpg" -

Thanks

Ok, thanks a lot... I'll get to it right away?

Allthough I'm having trouble finding the right directory where Imageveux stores theses "tn_" files. I did find the default thumbs.


Reg, Alex :D

Got it!

Seems that I was searching in the wrong directory.

Imageveux creates the thumbs in the same folder as where it places the uploaded images. Wasn't expecting that. Problem solved, thanks again for the tip!


Reg, Alex

Regarding Thumbnails....

Would it be possible to have a little pane in the config for a specific photo where you can "drag" the thumbnail around, so you can "aim" the crop? That would be fantastic. :)

Maybe we could add some [ make thumbnail manually ] in the the after next major version. But I am not sure feature like this is actually needed.

Yea, it would be cool ... Many of you photographers are understandably picky about the motive of your thumbnails, and some thumbs need to be created manually. We will look into it!
