Version 5.1 is now out the door, downloadable at http://perl.cdnarmy.ca/album . New features in 5.1 are as follows:
Added support for the Image Magick ( www.imagemagick.org ) suite of graphics tools. ``imagemagick'' config item points to imagemagick binary installation, and thumb_quality config item determines JPEG quality level. When integrated, thumbnails are generated automatically for images that don't have them. (This happens the first time the thumbnail is requested, and not found.) New thumbnails are currently emphasized with a 1 width border.
Admin menu now shows up by default when you are logged in as an admin.
Updated install package to have more intuitive directory structure.
Upload error and success messages are now popup windows. (Thanks to Will ([email protected]) for the code for this feature!)
Fixed a bug: rating_location was broken.
The picture being rated is now displayed on the rating form. (Another feature from Will!)
Fixed anonymous upload bug.
Yep, you read that right. Long awaited "automatic thumbnail generation" is here! In the end, I decided to link it to Image Magick's "convert" binary, rather than using it's PERL library. I figure it's way easier for people to just grab the binary than it is for them to install the PERL lib.
Let me know if you find any problems.
Cheers
P.S. That's a neat idea Chuck. I'll add it to the list. I'm a MySQL newbie, so it'll take a fair amound of learning on my part...
