Dynamic image resizing function

cherub

This may be a bit niche, but I thought I would float the idea anyway. Could we have an instruction in the script language to dynamically resize an image? A few platforms I've looked through are very strict on image dimensions, and while of course it's possible to resize project images beforehand and put them in a different directory, it would be easier to be able to use whatever existing images we use and resize them on the fly.

I envisage something like this:

[Profile_Image]

type=file

must be filled=1

hint=Choose an image for your profile (also called avatar). It does not (and also should not) have to show you on the picture but something that represents you.

default=general_profile.png

allow html=0

filter=Image files|*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.gif|PNG|*.png|GIF|*.gif|Jpeg|*.jpg;*.jpeg
resize=120x120

I have added it for next update (untested though).

Wow quick work! I'll be the guinea pig

Images get resized perfectly! However they get turned into something resembling the magic eye pictures from the 1990s

This was using a spinfolder macro if that may have any effect.

Deeeeeeee

I like that sort of digital art/imagery/grafix. Those Magic Eye images were cool. Wonder if there's a generator or algorithm out there for free? I'll look today!

The on-the-fly GSA SER image resizing is def a useful feature!   Thanks, Sven!

Sven

Yea, it didn't resolve the macro I guess and then created an image on it's own. Let me fix that in a silent update. When not using a macro, but a real file name as input, it should work in latest version. //silent update is out//

I now get error popups when it reaches the step where a resized image should be submitted - have sent a couple of bug reports.

Sven

got them but still unknown what it is...will fix it though somehow.

Sven

another silent update is out...please try now.

cherub

Seems to be working well!

Sven

phhuuu finally thanks for the feedback
