Thumbnailer

Minisweeper · July 2005

Can you make an option for the thumbnailer to do all subdirectories recursively?
Or something similar...

Mark · July 2005

Wow. I can't believe I never thought of that. What an awesome idea. Seriously. I'll definitely do that for version 1.4 *creates new tadalist*

Minisweeper · July 2005

haha. Well i just did like 15 directories on my server and after clicking it a few times it got a little tedious...

Minisweeper · July 2005

I'd also love it if you could build in an uploader (and maybe even a password-er), but i guess thats more at your discretion.

I'd also love it if you could build in an uploader (and maybe even a password-er), but i guess thats more at your discretion.

For that, I would leave to a cms/cvs type of extension for vanilla. I have a rough idea on how to do this, but it would be severly limited to what the default php upload limit is.

Minisweeper · July 2005

hmm. Well yeah, integration with vanilla would be cool, it'd be nice to be able to have it as a filebrowser extension too - i'd really like to be able to offer friends/family/customers the ability to upload photos to share (and then perhaps set some for different people through passwords etc) - i could write the basic thing myself, but making it fit in nicely and look as good as all marks stuff does would be impossible for me :(

Perhaps for v2 you could consider extensionising the FB, mark?

dfareed · July 2005

an uploader for fb would be great anybody out there know of a good php file uploader I could repurpose for fb in the interim.
good things
-multiple file uploads
-zip file uploading (and unzipping)
-password protecting

Minisweeper · July 2005

indeed dfareed, there are tons of php uploaders out there if you google for them, not many have those features though.

I'd be willing to push small sums of money/beer/hookers marks way if it'd help the cause...

dfareed · July 2005

there are few things I wouldn't be willing to do for that cause.

dfareed · July 2005

google results and hotscripts.com are pains in the neck to search through

Minisweeper · July 2005

How about a 'base folder' configuration line - i.e. i want index.php to be in my www root, but the lowest i want it to browse is /images?

subterrane · July 2005

So Mark wants to make money and people want extensions....hmmm...how 'bout you start a Discussion with an idea and people can keep pledging cash until it hits a level that's worth his time. :)

outbreak · July 2005

oh my god that would be perfect if we could get filebrowser with an uploader. what about something like the celerondude uploader? http://celerondude.com/

Seth · August 2005

Oh dear me, no! Please, not an uploader... that's why I use Filebrowser! So I can just dump a directory in via FTP or rsync and it Just Works. No other product does this; don't ruin a good thing!

Minisweeper · August 2005

well obviously you wouldnt *have* to use the uploader, it'd just be an optional extra. Filebrowser should run extensions like vanilla.

nathan · August 2005

Does Mark have paypal? We could ALL pitch in a little for the things we are most after, and he may be more inclinded to do this instead of his job :P

Minisweeper · August 2005

there is a method of donation which you can find out about on www.lussumo.com or www.getvanilla.com, i'm sure he'd be more than greatful for a donation. I'm sure he's already more inclined to do this than his job but until donations pay $XXXk/year his job is probably more useful to keep the bread on the table.

Mark · August 2005

http://lussumo.com/donate/ :D

nathan · August 2005

Will do. <wanted_feature_at_lussumo> You (and other developers) could create a 'reverse bounty' and assign a monetary value for a 'wanted' feature. The community could then donate (or pledge) a portion of the bounty, and when the limit is reched, the developer creates the feature/ request. Thoughts? <.wanted_feature_at_lussumo>

Minisweeper · August 2005

nathan, that's called ransomware. Lots of people do it.

markwilkin · August 2005

You could use https://www.fundable.org/, I've seen a few rpg designers put games out after using that site to ransom them. If I had some money I'd definately put up some bounties on my 'most wanted' extensions :).

nathan · August 2005

@mini: not for me its not. on MANY sites, I have come to know it as a reverse bounty. It sounds much nicer, and not so commercial. so NER! (kidding)

Kosmo · September 2005

I don't like the idea of putting on a list of wanted extensions/updates and then have to pay for it, I think we should continue on the current road of pitching ideas to Mark and he decides what to develope without us pressuring him to move to a certain direction, god dammit it is his program and we use it. It's like I would be creating a rts game and someone came to me and says "make a fps shooter with big guns and half baked plot and I give you some money" so would I do the game that I don't want to do and do the game for him? I'm making the game for myself and if people tend to like it it's great. Just typical consumet mentality, they think that we develope software and games for THEM, for THEM to enjoy, and totally ignore our own dreams and visions. ps. sorry, I didn't want to offend anyone with that, it's just a frustrated game developers rant

hanry · November 2005

Verygood.

tweakbench · December 2005

i was looking thru the code to see if i could figure out a way to make the thumbs generate automagically, just upload looking at the page in filebrowser, rather than have a separate place to go to make them. that way there would never be a 'thumbnail not available' .. just a bit of a delay the first time its made. :)

beoba · February 2007

Recursive thumbnail generation would still be great. *nudge*

Howdy, Stranger!
