I'm testing the nightly build from 4/21/04. I like that it will auto create a thumbnail if you tell it. But the resulting page gives no information about the thumbnail. All you get is a message saying it was successful and here is the code for the image. I'd like to have a few more options:
- Give code for thumbnail image.
- Include the width and height of the images in the img tag code that is displayed for both image and thumbnail.
- Maybe ability to customize the thumbnail prefix/suffix.
- Options like in MT, to create a new entry and embed image or create popup link to image (displaying or not displaying the thumbnail).
These would make the separate upload page more user friendly. If not, I prefer the old method of uploading an image from the entry page and having the upload page popup.
I totally agree-
I was just working on points 1-3 but ran into some trouble on step one.
I feel like it should be a very easy fixI had a little trouble finding the code that generates the name of the thumbnail. Can anyone direct me to that file and area? I personally think those suggestions are great but I bet the developers probably have bigger fish to fry.
Also, it would be nice if the code returned and error if you tried to thumnail a gif. I know now that you can't thumb a gif because of the php function used to generate the thumbs, but it would be nice if you got a warning about that.
The function that creates the thumbnails is named wp_create_thumbnail() and it is located in wp-admin/admin-functions.php.

I agree with Rayne - if I ask for a thumbnail I'd expect the display HTML code to include code to display the thumbnail and a link to the full image.
thumbnail code ++
