I actually just completed a site just as you described. Im storing just the
name of each image along with a description in the db and using the
CFX_image tag to process the image attributes (like file size, width, etc.).
I also use the Image_resize custom tag to resize each image as it's uploaded
and then stored in a separate thumbnail directory under the user's directory
I have organized my directory structure as follows:
/users/1001/thumbnails
/1002/thumbnails
...
I have the original pictures stored in the user root and the corresponding
thumbnails in the user's thumbnail directory.
Hope this helps,
Shane

I'm about to start an intresting art site where people upload their art
images (gif/jpgs) to one
big storage center and then use the site to browse and share their images
and ideas.
my dilema is wheter to index every single file that is uploaded to the
system, or to organize
all files on directories: something like d:\storage\username\march,
d:\storage\username\april
by indexing each image i mean - get it into the SQL with properties and
stuff.
I don't need no special details about the image (description, title, date,
size.. not matter).
what do you think?
