Mass regeneration of thumbnails

A client asked “why are the thumbnails in Textpattern all portrait when the images are mixed proportions?”.

I explained how Textpattern remembers the last thumbnail size settings, and the issue is solved for future image uploads…

How can I rebuild/fix around 1000 old thumbnails without going through each image manually?

smd_thumbnails should do the trick, but I don’t want to use another plugin when its only task would be to replicate Textpattern functionality.

Re: Mass regeneration of thumbnails

It looks like there is no core way, but that’s what plugins are made for. But we could probably add it to image multi-edit widget in 4.9.

That’s a lot of processing juice, even on a page with ‘only’ 96 images selected! I had frequent script timeouts in smd_thumbnail when I implemented batch thumbnail regen. which is why I had to go the Ajax route. It’s a messy implementation though and needs tidying.


The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.
