miniature improvements

[tmos]

Here are the improvements that could be done to the thumbnails :

• proportional cropping available via an option.
• cropping transparent pictures create a white background instead a black one

Those two improvements can be inspired by this code : http://www.akemapa.com/2008/07/10/php-gd-resize-transparent-image-png-gif/

white background in case of transparent picture is done.

Hello, can you say me how can I have proportional cropping of picture please ? I don't found what I need to modify into config.php

Thank you in advance for your help.

[tmos]

Sorry, this feature is not implemented yet, we have to modify the miniature generation code.

[Denys06]

Ok, thank you for your answer.

I hope this feature can be implemented rapidly, I wait it for open my gallery ;)
thank you see you soon

[tmos]

Due to my agenda, don't hope this before one month, except if someone handle this before me.

Hello tmos,

Do you have news about "proportional cropping available via an option" ?

I look forward to this change. Thank you

[tmos]

[Denys06]

Hello tmos

I come with enthusiasm at the end of August to see if you have the time to develop the latter part of the script regarding : "proportional cropping available via an option".

I'm still looking for this feature and I would be really happy to see integrated into the gallery.

Thank you in advance
Denys

Hello dear Denis,

I'm not really involved in MiniGal anymore. Actually, I'm here mainly to have a look on pull-requests, but I don't have any motivation for coding here anymore.

A lot of capable people (aka, other devs) come here to ask, and take, but very few tries to give back some help. So I have to confess that it don't help me to have passion to involve here. Sorry :-/

I'm not really a php-dev, so all the work I can bring here involve a lot of time of search and tests, so I can't bring a quick and efficient fix. Any native php-dev can probably do all those features in few hours, but nobody want to take this time.

I was mainly here to bring fresh air for the interface, and see pull requests. At last, I made RSS feeds too (with help, thanks again to concerned people), but I don't have motivation and knowledge to go further.

As an open-source developer, we don't get any retribution other than "thanks", and the pleasure to learn things from users and other devs. When you don't get one or the other, it is really hard to keep going.

I hope you understand, I'm very sorry for the hope I may gave to you for this feature.

To all devs who read this : don't hesitate to do some fixes here, I'll have a look on any pull request.

I'm really disappointed that the proposed development of miniature can not be finished but I thank you for your candor and your explanation. If someone comes along and can give me the script for thumbnail "proportional" it would be really nice because I need only this functionality so that I can fully enjoy this script, otherwise I'll have to find a new gallery, but it really bother me a lot ... :(

proportional cropping available via an option

what is this exactly? I could have a look at it but I don't understand what this is supposed to do.
A screenshot of the desired feature would be nice.

Hello and thank you for your answer

Actually, the thumbnails are a square
http://www.slotcar-union.com/gallery/createthumb.php?filename=photos/Scalextric/folder.jpg&size=220

I want to make a proportional rectangle for not have cut pictures

I think changes need to do this in createthumb.php, but I do not know how ...

[tmos]

Exactly, the goal is to display a miniature of the picture that is not cropped.

Just smaller, with the same horizontal width each time.

With this, the miniature grid will not be very regular (pictures well have the same width, but not the same height as they keep their proportions), but with few js we can make a reorganisation pinterest-like, so it fits nicely.

Thank noddisc for having a look at this :)

Hello,
Someone in github can make this modification please ?

[nodiscc]

For your information I have given up on this for now. I have little interest in this feature, and the lightbox replacement problem seems more important.

[Denys06]

Ok ;(
I continue to follow this topic for the day someone can make this modification

Thank you

[Denys06]
