Re: Automatic thumbnails for Textpattern

I was just in the process pf searching about for the plugin to create thumbnails on a current project using 4.9.9X. On my old 4.8.8 site i am using tom_image_grid. And i know of smd_thumbnail.
It sounds like i should just wait and use what is coming in core––which will soon arrive. Correct?
sacripant’s tom_image_grid should still work, and a grid view of the images is not currently in the core.
smd_thumbnail still works too – and I guess will continue to work if you don’t change the settings? –, but the recent changes in this thread mean its days are potentially numbered.

Would there be some benefit of having the
widthandheightoutput in side column – as plain text, similar to the ID?
Actually, yeah, that’s even better. Please hold and your wish will be granted.

Re: Automatic thumbnails for Textpattern
Does the size info need its own heading in the sidebar like:
Dimensions
1600 × 1200
Or can it just go in brackets alongside or under one of the other bits of info (maybe the ID?)

Love it!
Yay!
I’ve found that a reasonable maximum size for image originals… is a max pixel dimension of 3000.
Good info, thanks. That echoes what I’ve found so I think there are definitely optimisations to be had under the hood of SLIR. I haven’t grokked most of the code yet – only the bits I needed to integrate it with core – so there’s lots to wade through and there may be places where we can improve the way the GD resizer works by comparing that with how our class.thumb does it. That seems to be able to handle bigger images than SLIR does.
But as I mentioned in the OP, writing a parallel Imagick class for SLIR would be really beneficial because it does a lot more, and more efficiently. That will have to wait for Txp 5, since we’ll need PHP 7+ (and time) for that.

I would prefer separate field, it is different data after all (with px at the end?)

I don’t understand half of it, but this looks big. Hurrying up to test.
