Topic: Purpose of using thumbnails
Hi,
I have the required options set in the config in order to create thumbnails when I upload an image. I've kept the config details pretty much as they were specified in config.php
$mcImageManagerConfig['thumbnail.gd.enabled'] = true;
$mcImageManagerConfig['thumbnail.gd.auto_generate'] = true;
$mcImageManagerConfig['thumbnail.gd.folder'] = "mcith";
$mcImageManagerConfig['thumbnail.gd.prefix'] = "mcith_";
$mcImageManagerConfig['upload.create_thumbnail'] = true;I can see the thumbnail image created (eg mcith_myimage.jpg) in the mcith folder, however I'm not sure where this thumbnail image is actually used. I'm assuming that the newly created thumbnail image (mcith_myimage.jpg) is used in the main image manager screen (that shows the preview of the images for the currently selected directory) rather than create the thumbnail image on the fly from the image (myimage.jpg) that was uploaded.
Can you confirm this assumption. The reason I ask is, that when I "View Source" on the image manager screen, I don't see the file name "mcith_myimage.jpg" referenced. Possibly this is being dynamically added to the HTML with JavaScript, but I'm not sure.
Thanks,
Stuart.
