COMMENTED FEATURE: RE: DIfferent image sizes?

I agree completely. The problem is that these other sizes are not standard except for the thumbnail, secondarythumbnal and original. All other sizes are optional so I can't rely on them being there. Secondly, CS give me all original pictures as soon as I connect so the originals are already there. It is easy to change this behaviour of CS but it would require an update of the CS server software and not everybody is able or willing to install a third-party update on CS. So an option would be to humbly get the CS guys to change CS and at the same time allow the thumbnail and the secondarythumbnail to be selected right now.

Good sugestion! I'll see what I can do.

Have you thought about using the dynamic links for controlling the size? I've been posting images to blogs and just linking them to a the 640x480.aspx link for the individual photo in a gallery. This would allow you to offer a drop down for standard image sizes and an option to specify a custom image size.

I may pull down the code and see what it would take to add this.

CREATED FEATURE: REQ: Save Settings Used For Last Image

ernow — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:20:07 GMT

Just a suggestion for when you feel like working on something different: It would be nice to have your plugin save the settings used for the last image inserted so that one does not have to enter each setting (i.e. alignment, margins, etc.) each time they insert an image. Keep up the great work!

That's a good suggestion! I'll add it for the next release.

I am quite familiar with CS, there should be some way to query for the available sizes as the gallery pages in CS show the available sizes.

Great tool BTW!

OffBeatMammal — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 18:22:15 GMT

When I want to reference an image it only ever allows me to use "original image" not the usual list of "thumb, small, medium" etc While not a huge issue (I usually just edit the HTML or fix it up in the web CS interface) it's a pain for layout - would like it to be seamless - got too used to Flickr4Writer I guess ;) Thanks

CLOSED ISSUE: Unhandled Exception while uploading an image

ernow — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 12:58:26 GMT

When there's no gallery present/available an unhandled exception will be thrown when uploading a picture.

CLOSED ISSUE: Change Icon

ernow — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 12:58:25 GMT

set the resolution of the PNG to 96 pixels / inch That should fix the resizing bug.

This is a problem as WiX doesn't support this easily...

However, the bootstrapper can do this but gallery.live.com wants a single msi...
