Show cropped images in Media library

  • Hello,

    As you said in the description the cropped images are hidden by default on the media browser, but is there a way to show them by default? The problem is that, when you want to re-use a cropped image on a post, the “list view” is not available.

    Hey, can you tell me more about your use case? So I can see if there is anything that can be done in the plugin to accommodate it.

    In general, I have found that dealing only with “source” images is simpler for content editors.

    If all the images would be visible, there would be duplicates for every image. And the image picker does not even show the image aspect ratio because the preview is cropped to 300×300.

    Thanks!

    Hi Joppuyo,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Sure I’ll explain my use case.

    I’m cropping all my featured image with your plugins, sometimes I want to use the exact same crop to avoid creating extra new image. Therefore it would be handy to have the already cropped image shown in the media library of the post that currently editing.

    Does that make sense for you?

    Hey good to know about your use case!

    There’s already an issue raised on GitHub about a similar case: https://github.com/joppuyo/acf-image-aspect-ratio-crop/issues/4

    I’m looking into saving cropped image coordinates in the database. This way if same coordinates are used once again, the existing cropped image would be re-used instead of creating a new cropped variant.

    Do you think this would help in your use case?
