Fixed photo size ?(back to index)
As u know the system automaticly makes thumbs in a preset fixed size.... BUT why not also make the larger photo in a preset fixed size also - it can be anoying to watch someones pictures where the size can vary from small to fill the entire screen - and it does not look good when the system is incl. in a eg. a dynamic website. -

Should not be to difficult to do something about this. Eg. use the same code that is used to generate thumbs, and adjust it for making large images.

The tumbs also have a fixed size when it comes to how much space it takes in bytes or megabites - The thumbs always take about 5K - would be nice to have a fixed size on a large photo as well.

If i upload an image that takes 1mb i thing it shuld be automaticly be set a new size (as in the thumbs) - eg. 700pix with. and fill up max 500kb

would also be nice to see the IP-adress from the persons that comment on pic.

Just wanna add, that it would be smart if Eg. a file that takes 2MB in harddisk space would be deletede automaticly after a photo is generated that is not so big - noone wants that big files to fill up their webhost space.

To make it all shor - this is how i see it:
1. Upload a file
2. The system generates a thumb and a larger photo of fixed size
3. These files are given uniq names, so they can not be overwrite later (can be done by using the MD5 cryptation function in PHP)
4. The uploaded files are deleted, so they dont fill up space.
