That script/URL for making thumbs?
 

there was a post on this board aabouth 2-3 weeks ago, with the link to this script for making thumbs... you could choose the size of the thumb you want, enter URL of the image, choose the part of the pics to crop and get your damn thumb.... does anyone know what I am talking about!? ..anyone remembers that URL?

thanx!

...sounds like a rather complicated process with no advantage over making thumbs one-by-one in you graphic software...

I'm more lazy and use Thumbs PLUS - it does everything (except cropping - as far as I know):
· it keeps a database of all my images with thumbnails (a lot smaller than the built-in Windows option or other programs)
· you can even add images in a zip file to your thumbnail database and copy them straight into a seperate directory (no need to un-zip)
· bulk rename groups of images
· enables me to run batch processes for selected images (things like resize, gamma-correction and apply higher compression)
· and it creates thumbnails with html table for selected images. And it does a decent job: you can set the pixels size and compression (70-75% image quality gives you thumbnail files of under 4kb with no visible sign of compression), the images are automatically enhanced in contrast and saturation, and the table is easy to insert into you page template (though: I run a custom vb script over the out-put because I don't like the long file names and shorten the code, too)

ok, thanx for that, but I am still looking for that URL... I think that was the script someone from the board made... or was it at AWI!?

Ah - yes - I remember: it was some sort of BETA version which at that stage didn't get pass my hotlink protection (good to know that's working), so I couldn't try it...

I looked and sounded a bit like the stand-alone version of what's included in Comus TGP.

Good luck! |peace|

don't remember that exact one but here's ont that I think is way kewl


Link cropper

I also have a link to a site that has the code for something similar if you want it for your own server

thanx amber, but this one looked pretty much like this thing - http://205.134.161.121/~vs006/thumber/thumber.php ... it does croping on pictures taht are on internet allready....

I believe comus thumbs allows for online thumb cropping by the submitter even as well.
