I don't find that so, on my about 1000x800 browser window, they still fit inside, I just have to scroll down a bit. > So the question is what would be the best approach here: > > ~ * Hack datatype_image to support a third copy of the image, > ~ "original" (or "view"?) > ~ * Simply scale down the view image, losing potentially quite > ~ a bit of detail in the process > ~ * Switch from de.linkm.newsticker to net.siriux.photos Of these alternatives, I would use the last if you're not content with the current solution. Changing datatype_image would almost certainly call for a rewrite, perhaps unifying the image handling code of n.s.photos with it. Maybe it would be time having some "photo" helper library for stuff like this. > What do you think? > > My current upload script doesn't use datamanager directly, but > instead tries to create Midgard objects directly in a way compatible > with datamanager.

That will be next to impossible. You still cannot invoke MidCOM without properly initializing it. The better way would be building Upload Handlers into the interesting component (d.l.newstickers' "public publishing" mode is one example of this), a similar thing could be built into n.s.photos for example, to allow updates from the outside.
