It would be great if the uploaders could specify the Image Title/Alt Text and Description/Caption fields when they upload an image to the moderation cue.
Not sure if this is a bug (I’m using NextGEN 2.x) or by design – but if you upload pictures with this plugin to the moderation queue and then move them into a gallery later, all the default settings for the gallery are ignored.
For example, I set NExtGEN to scale all pictures to a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, backup the original pictures, and generate a square thumbnail with 100 x 100 pixels. If I upload pictures through WP-NextGEN Backend, these actions are performed. If I use Public Image Uploader, the pictures are just copied in original resolution, and the thumbnails created are the wrong format.
In my opinion it would be great to have the picture transformations performed as defined in NExtGEN settings – probably best when pictures are moved from the moderation queue to the gallery.
I’ll try to add this code to the plugin – in case of success I can post a patch here.
Yeah, this is done by design, as I wanted the plugin to retain the original quality of the image as it’s uploaded. Thumbnail creation is done based on the original images properties, to assure that the thumbnail generated also retains the proper quality.
The code to tweak thumbnail generation is in /includes/makethumb.php if you want to play around with things.
@lagdonkey, thanks for your reply.
In the meantime I found out that NextGEN Public Uploader does the thing I need, so I ended up using that.
Thanks for this great plugin, anyway!
