Thanks Stef, since my issue was with a javascript gallery going wonky in IE when the img tag included width and height, (no idea why, it was weird), I ended up just editing smd_thumnails to not output that part.

I love this plugin!

Why, thank you.

I was wondering if it’s possible to use this with smd_gallery

Yes, you can do it with multiple galleries, or try this (untested) construct:

<txp:smd_gallery countform="1:thumb_large, :!1:thumb_small" [...other options...] />

Then in Form thumb_large:

<txp:smd_thumbnail type="Large" id="{id}" />

and of course a similar tag in thumb_small. The gallery tag’s countform should then execute thumb_large for only the first image and pass control to thumb_small for every image that isn’t the first. At least, in theory :-)

Hi Stef,

Although I can’t find it now, I think you somewhere mentioned the issue related to Remora dropdowns being shown below the “Thumbnail Profiles” fieldset.
As it seems it’s not solvable via z-index dance (at least, not without also touching Remora’s CSS), I suggest this possible fix:

#smd_thumb_profiles { width:700px; margin:0 auto 18px; position:relative; }
(…)
.smd_thumb_btn { position:absolute; right:10px; top:-12px; text-align:center; padding:3px; }

Basically, it removes the position:relative on the fieldset, which solves any z-index issues between dropdowns and the fieldset. Then, it also removes the position:absolute from the “Tools / Prefs” button, so it shows just inside the fieldset.

Thank you, Stef.

New preference for creating thumbs from Txp’s main image or its thumbnail (thanks Gil / maniqui)

Please, could you refresh me a little about what this new feature does? I can’t recall what I may have requested in the past! :)

BTW, on a site where I’ve used smd_thumbnail, I’ve decided to change the way I’m (ab)using it.
I was using different smd_thumbnail profiles to store different versions (not just different sizes) of the “same” image. For example, different POVs or close-ups of the same product.
Although it seems a “clever” trick and it may work in some simple scenarios, it also adds some complexity: tacit rules, or risks of overwriting customized thumbnails on batch regeneration, etc.

Nice! If there’s anything you think the plugin could do to help in this regard let me know.

I will have to think a bit, but then, I think that the way I approached (different versions of the “same” image stored on each profile) is somehow flawed. It breaks (or brings too far) the “thumbnails” concept. If it’s a different image, then it should be uploaded as a new image.

That being said… it just occurred to me this: there is an “special case” that I’d like you to consider: rotated thumbnails. It seems to fall in the middle between “a different image” and “the same image”.

I foresee the ability of rotating thumbnails both on:

• a per-image basis. You go to the Edit screen for a particular image, click on a particular thumbnail and then select to rotate it.
• a per-profile option

In both cases, you have to consider that there are two possible orderings of the steps (rotate & create, create & rotate), so two possible different outcomes:

• create the thumb for this profile and then rotate it, or
• rotate the image and then create the thumb
