I'm having some trouble getting a grasp on what to use when and where
for images. There are so many modules available but from my
explorations so far I can't figure out which one to use in which case.
I've been spending a good amount of time searching through the forums,
reading through HOW TOs, and downloading in installing some modules to
test them out.
My question: Is there a good place that discusses various approaches to
images in drupal in a clear way?
The image requirements for this site are fairly complex, so outlining
all of them and asking how to do each one is probably not the best way -
so I'm hoping there's already some good info out there somewhere that
I've missed.
A list of the routes I've taken so far that seem to half solve some of
the problems but definitely not all of them:
Upload
Image (plus Image Attach, Image Gallery, Image Import)
IMCE
Node Images
An example of half solving: random image only displays a thumbnail and
it's random across all images. I can't imagine to whom that would be
useful to be honest. What is useful is to randomly display an image at
a specified size (or at least choose between thumbnail and full size),
to select a directory to choose the images from and to have a straight
forward way for an end user to upload, delete etc those images.
