I will be releasing a .NET version of an image uploader/thumbnailer by the end of this month. testing has been going great...
Demo: (someone really tested this feature out to the max in this thread)

| The popup window to display the full image is constrained to fairly small dimensions though |

say again? the popup is the actual size of the image.
wait, I think I know what you're saying. I have an auto center script to display the images... if the images are large, which in this thread they are, the window does not open completely until the image is loaded. you will see a message in the title bar stating "Loading...". Once it is done, the image displays in the pop up window.
try a thread with smaller images:

 Apologies !!! ... I didn't realise how big the images were, but they DO appear full-size after completely loading. I was obviously viewing them when they weren't finished loading and the popup is quite small.
Sorry for the diversion, it looks like a great mod  |

| I've done something similar, although I have a larger image as my thumbnail and I don't display the size, etc but it could easily be adapted. Only catch is I use two components, ASPUpload and ASPImage which do cost a little bit. I must say though, it's much better than my old system. With uploading I now have a progress bar. Since the 15th of November when it was implimented my members have managed to upload around 1800 images which have been resized, about 600 megs worth. |

no 3rd party components here... did it all using the .NET Framework with C# as the language at no additional costs. Pretty darn fast upload actions over the pure ASP version.
every time a member posts an image it is inserted into a database, so this will automatically create my photo album that I am working on as well. |

| Dayve, have you used any of the quantization techniques to enhance the thumbnails? I've been playing with this but not managed to get it to work for both resizing and quantizing together. |

thanks for the link, it was a good read. I might play with this during the weekend and although it sounds interesting to implement. right now I am working on photo album/gallery portion of the mod. my initial goal of this mod was to create a system that provided faster loading threads by using "true" thumbnailed resampled images and not resized images and to insert the upload info (not image) into a datbase for using with a photo album... two birds, one stone. only real problem I'm having right now is when I make drastic changes and have to implement some conditional checks due to the changes I made. for example, I started off by having the image location appear in the tag like so:
[image=myImage.jpg]
but now it shows as the id of the image:
[image=355]
obviously this gives me more flexibility and faster searches for creating my textual thumbnails like the sample below:
I'm very pleased with how everything is turning out though... not sure how I'm going to package it up though. |
