thumbnail profusion

Since upgrading to 1.5.5 (from about 1.4.4), I have many new thumbnail directories in /media/hika_shop/uploads...


thumbnail_155x220
thumbnail_160x220
thumbnail_156x220
thumbnail_158x220
thumbnail_172x219
thumbnail_174x220
thumbnail_205x220
thumbnail_219x207
thumbnail_220x166
thumbnail_123x220

and on and on... one directory for every size of thumbnail that exists, I guess.

Is that okay? Was it done to avoid file handle limits when people change thumbnail sizes?

The images from thumbnail/ don't appear to be getting used... is it safe to delete them?

I found one broken image in the thumbanil_XXXxYYY directories. It was just data. Strings said GD library created it, so probably a bug in GD? I deleted it, and it regenerated fine.

So then I did:
file */*.jpg | grep -v JPEG and found one thumbnail that file thought was a minix v2 filesystem! Couldn't mount it, though (bad superblock) so am thinking that was a random wrinkle in the file's fabric. I deleted it, anyway.

The new version is phenomenal so far, especially in terms of the ease of upgrading.

Also, congrats on being now the top-rated Popular shopping cart on extensions.joomla.org. You deserve it!

uh-oh, an old issue may have resurfaced, in 1.5.5

when image_x and image_y are blank (in Configuration, Files | Image Width and Image Height are blank) then the watermark is not being made.

I looked at administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/image.php, and it looks like watermarking is done in the resizeImage function. Maybe that function is never getting called, when image_x and image_y are both empty?

Thank you in advance for any help solving...

apologies; I guess I did not search the forum enough before posting

I downloaded the new version, then changed

if(!$image_x && !$image_y){
to
if(!$image_x && !$image_y && empty($watermark_name)){

and all is well.

Hi all, I do not know if this is a bug or I have not found a way to make it work correctly!

When I add more than one image to a product, the image sizes tend to use the size of the first inported image in that product.

Only the first product has the right proportion, all other images (and that is because they have not all the same size! which can happen I think) are changed to the size of this first one as a preview within the page.

When you click on it, the pop-ups work great for every individual image as they keep their original propotional settings.

as a demo I have a part of my product page showing the mutated preview and the correct popup. It is the last image of 6.

Thank you very much. That solved the problem.
