Thumbnail Creation of images

This plugin creates thumbnails for all of the images found under a specific directory, in various thumbnail sizes It requires PIL to function properly since PIL is used to resize the images, and will only rebuild a thumbnail if it doesn't already exists (to save processing time)

Installation

Setup up like a normal plugin by setting PLUGIN_PATH, and adding "thumbnailer" to the PLUGINS list

Configuration

• IMAGE_PATH is the path to the image directory. It should reside under content, and defaults to "pictures"
• THUMBNAIL_DIR is the path to the output sub directory where the thumbnails are generated
• THUMBNAIL_SIZES is a dictionary mapping name of size to size specifications. The generated filename will be originalname_thumbnailname.ext unless THUMBNAIL_KEEP_NAME is set.
• THUMBNAIL_KEEP_NAME is a boolean which if set puts the file with the original name in a thumbnailname folder.

Sizes can be specified using any of the following formats:

• wxh will resize to exactly wxh cropping as necessary to get that size
• wx? will resize so that the width is the specified size, and the height will scale to retain aspect ratio
• ?xh same as wx? but will height being a set size
• s is a shorthand for wxh where w=h
