[request] image cropping / thumbnail generation
I wonder how hard it would be to implement something like this php/jquery script (demo here) to provide a nice itnerface for cropping images and generating thumbnails.
Plugin devs, any thoughts?
More power to the image!

Nice, although it works a bit erratically. Eric (EBL_Upload) had something like this in the pipeline – not sure what became of it.

Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year. I just want 2 things for Christmas: A Red Ryder BB Gun, and some very kind person to implement the cropping feature kemie posted above.
Sincerely,
Tommy Reno

Oh yah… I forgot I was working on something like that a while ago. In between school and everything at the time, I got sidetracked.

oooh, jCrop looks much nicer!
I bet if a dev put up a jCrop plugin up for rransom, they’d raise the ransom pretty quick! (hint hint) :D

Either one of those would be the jam!
Dale, care to take the magic you worked to get jm’s image picker and work it here?

Yeah, but remember that it requires quite a lot of work; for now those only support JPG images, but what about gif or pngs that could also have transparency ;) And not to mention that these “nice looking image croppers” usually don’t work as nicely on every browser; jams on IE, randomly kills Fx etc.
What it actually requires atleast:
- Little improved image saving script that supports as many servers as Textpattern does
- Little browser debugging
- Adding full image support; transparency, pngs etc.
- Integrating that to Textpattern image tab; plus allowing user to make thumbs with out cropping
- Limiting cropping only to:
- Not flash objects.
- Images that are too big in pixels or kilos to be cropped (you don’t want to kill browsers right).

I have started a plugin that uses jcrop. Might release it in some hours.
