It generates, server-side, a resized image. SlimServer then caches that image so that it's not constantly resizing them whenever it needs to send an image other than the size de
In versions prior to 6.5 there's no server-side image resizing going on. If you have a 100kbyte 900x900 pixel artwork image, then that image is sent to the browser and resized by the <img> tag to make a 125x125 thumbnail. There's also some javascript that sometimes resizes the image on the album pages, but since that too is client side, the original 100k image is the one being served. > 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. In 6.5 I belive the aspect ratio of resized images is always retained. I think in prior versions you always had a square NxN image. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25266 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
