It's been awhile, hopefully this post finds you both well. I realize you guys are both busy and updates to ImageVue v2 probably don't occur as often as you'd like, but I have an idea that I'd love for you to think about implementing in the next release.
One of the biggest pains, I believe, is resizing all of my huge images before uploading to my web server. While it's a very automated process, it just adds another step that I wish I didn't have to perform. Although I completely understand why it's best to avoid processing huge images (especially when uploading hundreds at the same time) on the server...
So why can't we do it client-side? At first I thought about using some sort of Java uploader that integrates with ImageVue but then I realized that Java isn't (I believe) your programming language of choice. But what about Flash...
I found a proof of concept after a quick search:

This guy created a Flash uploader that allows multiple images to be uploaded at once and, before pushing the images to the server, the Flash App resizes/compresses/resamples/whatevers to the image. I figured since Flash is your strong suit this could be easily added!!!
Plus, think of the possibilities... Features such as image rotation (manual or via exif), a hot spot editor and focal points could be easily added within the upload app.
With all of the said, I don't feel this has to be included for free. Charge us all an additional fee for this add-on. I would easily pay $25 and I'm sure others would too!
Thoughts?!?!?!
