Feature Request

  • I am currently working on a site where the design calls for multiple sizes of images that use the same base x-y proportion.
    The obvious, quick solution would be to simply make all of these sizes be their own custom field. This would require the user to select the image X times and crop the image X times. And if the exact same view of the image is desired, some extra time would be needed to ensure greater accuracy (which would honestly never be perfect).
    For a more optimal data-entry experience it would nice to have only one custom field with multiple sizes specified for a single proportion. The user would have to only select one image, and crop the desired section of the image once, and then the plugin would save not only one size, but go through some scaling calculations to save out the several specified sizes according to the base proportion, capturing the same area of the image.
    This would also make a difference for load times, avoiding loading larger images that necessary.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Actually (if I understand you correctly) that is in fact what happens unless you choose to not save cropped images to the media library. When the image is cropped a new media item is generated thus generating all relevant image sizes as with any media upload. So if you have the various sizes registered as image sizes, what you’re trying to achieve should be possible.

    All the best,

    Anders

    Looks like that will do what I need.

    Thanks for the help,
