RE: Everyone else is talking about images, why not me!
Yup. The users for this portion of the site are employee's of my client, and they need to take pictures of items in the field and upload images to the server, but sometimes are limited to dial up so a 2 meg jpg file is way too big. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. At this point, I may even roll a .NET app and consume a web service in CF, that may be the ticket for me. =) Chris ~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:277046 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
RE: Everyone else is talking about images, why not me!
We currently use Irfanview as well, but my key is to make it as simple for the user as possible. I don't have control over where the images are coming from, where they are, etc. Apollo would totally rock, I may have to investigate that a bit once it goes gold =) Chris -Original Message- From: Andy Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 10:09 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Everyone else is talking about images, why not me! I heartily recommend Irfanviewer. It's a free PC app that allows you to resize and rename images along with a raft of other things.

Re: Everyone else is talking about images, why not me!
You're kind of right Claude. Allowing *any* site to do that would definitely be a HUGE security problem. Something that I have seen and used was a SnapFish plugin which handles multiple image uploads very effectively. It requires permission before being installed as it runs as a desktop extension but it is very nice. I think thats what Chris is looking for. A plugin of some sort that his users can d/l which will handle the resizing prior to upload. Rey Claude Schneegans wrote: > >> I want the browser client to resize these BEFORE > they are uploaded.

RE: Everyone else is talking about images, why not me!
I believe Ektron's WebImageFX thingy will do that.

There have been so many image threads goin on today, I thought I would ask about a question that has bugged me for a while now. I want to allow my customer to upload images over a potentially slow line. They need to upload a lot of them. All these images need to be tagged to an item in a database (the user needs to choose them from a folder on their PC) Here is the kicker: I want the browser client to resize these BEFORE they are uploaded. Javascript, Java, Flash, whatever. Anyone have a low cost solution that will do that fairly quickly, and allow me to control size / quality from browser based settings, so the size of the upload is minimized? Happy Friday!
