[request] Batch thumbnail resize

Let’s say I have 200 images in TXP all with thumbnails cropped 200×200 px.

For a new layout I need a different size of the thumbnails, I even want to remove the cropping.

Dynamic resizing is no (perfect) solution because of the server stress. Downloading the original images, resizing them locally and uploading them as new thumbnails seem also not to be a good way because the thumbnail size etc. is stored in the database.

An admin plugin for that purpose would be wonderful (Example for WordPress), but I’m grateful for every hint for a nice approach to this task.

Thumbnail size not stored in database. Only original images store size in DB.
Simple download original images and make new thumbnail uses XnView or macros in Photoshop

Thank you for a correction.

Step2: Backup database and update txp_image. Run query in phpMyAdmin:

update prefix_txp_image set thumb_w= 300, thumb_h= 300 where thumbnail=1

300 – new thumbnail size
prefix_ – your table prefix

Thanks, I’ll give this a try!

If you’re using an earlier version, 4.0.8 and older, you can use the method I described here

In that case it’s more complicated unfortunately.
