Re: Display of images section of admin-side - TXP5

I’m not too convinced about the model thing with mobile devices becoming the norm – if used, it would have to be super perfectly slick across every medium.

I was thinking about some more preferences for the image tab or multi option view links on the page – view as list, view as thumbnail grid for example.

Preferences could be:

View as List – (y/n)
Show thumbnail in List – (y/n)
View as Thumbnail Grid – (y/n)
Show full size image – (y/n)
Thumbnail width – (px/%)
Full size image width – (px/%)
Image meta below: – (y/n)
Image meta to right: – (y/n)

etc… I’m sure there could be more

The sizes could be used in conjunction with an admin version of smd_thumbnail or an image replacement script like slir

Again, there are probably 2034.5 reasons why this isn’t a good idea/possible (it does seem complicated now I’ve put it in writing) – but just thought I’d throw it out there :)

Re: Display of images section of admin-side - TXP5

Came across this post today. Was thinking how sweet a grid view would be.
Any new ideas – deveopments on this?

I think a list / grid view button option would be clutch in the Image Tab….. Just saying.
I’m definitely not the dude to write a plugin for it( lacking skills in php ) .

Yes, we are assessing a grid view for images as part of the 4.6 release cycle. Although I have nothing to show you just yet.

Phil,

I’d love to give the new direction an eye and let you know if I spy any usability problems.

I’m a professional usability/UX guy.

Ok that’s handy to know. I’ll share some of it with you in due course.
