[drupal-devel] New image module
Is there an updated image module floating around that leverages the new image.inc contributed by walkah? The image module in walkah's sandbox still uses the local image includes and would take some manipulation to get working with the new file and Drupal cvs.
It's not really floating around, per se. I am finishing up some work on a "works with HEAD" version - however, it is also a modified approach. The big change is : using the files table to manage image "derivatives" (i.e. generated sizes - including thumbnails, and alternate resolutions). This allows me to generate admin-defined sizes a bit more reliably and keep track of them more easily. I am also, after discussing with several people, re-introducing some elementary gallery functionality. I have mixed feelings about this - but it seems to make more sense to have this included than not - and it is not intended to conflict with some of the exciting alternate initiatives (such as moshe's album.module). The final piece (and one that I will solicit some testing help) is the migration path from the old module to the new. Anyway, the code is just about ready... and it will make much more sense in the wild, than on my workstation. Stay tuned :) On 15-Feb-05, at 7:01 AM, Chris Cook wrote:

Good to hear. Let us all know when and where we can find something to test. James Walker wrote:
