I don't know if this is because I just upgraded to 1.2, but I don't think it is.

Why, after I uncheck the "crop thumbnails" and/or "image size is longest size" boxes, and then save, do they remain checked?

Is there something I have to do to make this functionality work?

Thanks in advance.

This would seem to be a bug as I can reproduce it. We will look into it.

fix will be in tonight's nightly build

checking to make sure this made it in to the build. i've never used a nightly build before so i'd like to be careful before installing. thanks.

It did make the nightly build. Installing the nightly build is much the same as installing a releases.

Is there a workaround in the meantime? I don't seen anything in zp-config.php that looks relevant to thumbnail generation.

Unfortunately, it appears that more is broken in the thumbnail functionality.

I have purged my cache, but my albums are inheriting thumbnail parameters from my gallery.

I understand that if an album does not have a specific theme assigned to it then it is supposed to inherit those properties.

But as far as I can tell, if you UNCHECK the "crop thumbnails" button for a specific album, then instead of using the "thumbsize" value that you enter, it inherits the "thumbsize" value from the gallery.

I think I know what is going on here. May be a bit to come up with a fix. I have created a ticket #705 for the problem.

ok cool. I'll just wait and see for a while. seems a crippling issue, however, so i suppose if it doesn't get resolved, i should just go back to 1.1.x. thanks!

Or you can just not have theme options (which would be the case with 1.1). This is not a new problem.

hmm... but i did have theme options (that worked correctly i believe) before i upgraded to 1.2. my design requires that the thumbnails in the album be different than the gallery, so i think i need them options for that to work.

Well, there was never any code to be sure that the image processing thread used anything but the gallery options. Maybe you had not made the theme option different before.

If you check http://www.zenphoto.org/files/nightly/, look for something resembling the fix to the problem you mention (not in this case as you'll get email). That's how I check minor fixes sbillard or acrylian fix overnight or if it gets missed and into the next day. usually you can recognize the comment line.

i must be missing something somewhere. here's what i want to do:
-gallery uses large (cropped) thumbnails (say, 250 x 100).
-albums uses small (uncropped) thumbnails (say, max125 max85).

alternatively, i could use cropped thumbnails in the albums, but i would just crop them very little i suppose.

seems like all the options i try either result in the image thumbnails (on an album page) being the same size as the album thumbnails (on the gallery page), or they're stretched in some funky ways. is it necessary for me to use the printCustomAlbumThumbImage and/or printCustomSizedImage functions, or is there an easier way?

You will have to use a custom cropping for one of the thumbs.

ok - will do.

are the custom thumbnails cached? if not, i'm assuming it would be smartest for me to set the normal thumbnails for the size that i want the image thumbnails to appear in the album pages since there will be a lot of them, and then use a custom size for the album thumbnails on the gallery page since there are less of them.

thanks.

All images are cached if sized by Zenphoto, although all custom images (those not using the general option setting from the admin) are not cached by the precache functions.

But that is not a problem since they are cached once on the fly if someone visits the image the first time and never again (unless you change the size of course).

Is there a way to make thumbnail files, which would be named as the picture name, appended with _thumb.jpg? That way, I could display my own "artistic" thumbnails. The reason I want to do this is that sometimes I crop, sometimes not..

Besides the answer you already got by sbillard on this thread http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=3803 there is no way.

acrylian means there is a way--read the post he referenced. (Oh, that was a reply to your post, wasn't it....)
