Hmmm. I'll need to get clearer on a few things to do that.

I am tied to photo album in so far as I need three sizes, thumbnail, midsize, and full-size images, with the latter two slideshowable.

See

   List of sizes to convert an image to. List of maximum width x height.

   #TODO make a parameter in content repository
        # avatar size to match gravatar.com
   return [list thumbnail 150x150 view 500x500 avatar 80x80]

Which apparently, I didn't make a parameter yet :)

Quick solution is to just add whatever sizes you want there.

Longer solution is to add the parameter to CR and use that.

Note these are square dimensions b/c it will make either dimension no larger than those sizes which retaining the aspect ratio of the original.

Ok, well I could begin by having a look at adding the parameters! Probably could be a comma delimited list of max dimensions:

{avatar 80,thumbnail 150,view 500}

I would still need the bulk upload feature though. Perhaps I could rip that out and adapt it.

Which CR user interface do you use when working on things like this? xowiki?

I am not exactly clear exactly where and how the user interface for the batched image uploads would best live. Should that be a feature added to xowiki (bulk upload of content items) or added elsewhere?

Also, do we have a way to organise the display of xowiki objects in the admin pages into folders? I suppose if that were possible then there would be no reason at all not to go that route.
