General Information
| Plugin name: | File/ThumbnailWriter (File/DefaultHandler) |
|---|---|
| Author: | Thomas Leitner <t_leitner@gmx.at> |
| Summary: | Writes out thumbnails with RMagick |
| Parameters: | resizeMethod: :normal thumbnailSize: "100x100" |
Description
This plugin is used by other plugins to create thumbnails for images. For example, the File/GalleryHandler uses it to automatically create thumbnails for all images in an image gallery.
The thumbnailSize parameter has to be in the format “WIDTHxHEIGHT” where WIDTH and HEIGHT are numeric values specifying the width and the height for the thumbnail.
The resizeMethod parameter specifies how the image should be resized
for creating the thumbnail. Be aware that the value has to be a symbol, not a string (:normal
instead of normal)!
The following pictures illustrate the differences between the settings for a thumbnail size of 100×100:
| Original image (320×240) | :normal (100×75) | :cropped (100×100) |

Caveat
