Ability to use thumbnail size?

    I’m encountering an issue with page weight due to how the plugin renders the gallery output. When creating a portfolio, the plugin only stores the the URLs to the full-sized images. When the displaying a gallery, it outputs a list of the images with an explicit width of 100px, but when clicking one of those thumbnails, it still makes another call to the server for the URL. So the page has to download all the full-size images on load, then makes additional calls for each clicked thumbnail.

    It would be better to have the plugin store the attachment IDs, and then it could load the thumbnail sized images for the gallery, and the full-size when the user indicates s/he wants the full image.

    I’m happy to hack on this, but wanted to see if there is already a way to do this that I’m missing. Thanks!

    I am having a similar issue where I have pages with hundreds of images and all of them are being displayed at the correct size but the server is being called for the full sized images. This makes the pages take at least 10 seconds or more to load which is unacceptable according to my own standards and Googles.

    I highly support Greghaygood’s proposed solution.

    Hello Greghaygood & Timfell,

    Thanks for your valuable feedback guys.

    Once I have seen your comments I couldn’t resist myself of applying this fix, to enhance the loading performance and the overall experience.

    Now version 1.2.4.4 is out, and it does the following:

    1. It resizes portfolio item images intelligently by reading width/height values from the shortcode. If the values were below 320 it will load medium size images, and otherwise it will load the full size images as medium size will make pictures look distorted.
    2. For the internal galleries, now the plugin loads only thumbnails as preview, and then it does lazy load whatever requested images from user clicks

    Please if you have any valuable feedback, don’t refrain from sharing it. Let’s make this plugin advance to the next stage & meet everybody’s expectation.

    Thanks, and best of luck
