guys... you're kinda losing me here. what is GD? is it part of slim server? what is its connection to this issue?
here's how i think artwork should be handled by slim server: 1. you should be able to set within reason whatever pixel size you want displayed in browsing artwork. i know you can set this already, and the default is 100x100 i would probably set mine to be 125x125 - 150x150. 2. you should then be able to have slim server, on its own, resize any given image, up or down, to fit whatever amount you set. 3. you should also be able to determine the pecking order SS will use, AND add filenames to that pecking order. this would allow anyone to add whatever specific filename they want, AND prioritize in what order SS should make use of them. in my case, i would tell it to always look for my 200x200 files first, which would be great for me, b/c it would then scale them down as is my wont. BUT someone else interested in bandwidth could set the pecking order in reverse, see my point? also, this would allow SS to seek and use other images in the pecking order if the "preferred" image isn't there. also, i think SS should use ANY .jpg or image available if one exists, yet none that conforms to KNOWN filenames. 4. finally, i think there should be a toggle switch for SS so it knows to maintain aspect ratio if thats what the user wants for browsing artwork. am i on the right track here guys? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25266 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
