Thumbnail Preview keep proportion
WWebber opened this issue · comments
The thumbnail preview fits the image independently of the image width & height into the thumbnail size. Is there any option where I can keep the aspect ratio resp. use the same width/height scaling? Some of the images get stretched horizontal, some of them get even truncated. So what's the trick?
Ok. After investigating the source code, I'm going to fix it myself for my needs..
I'm sorry I did not really get what you wanted because I get the feeling this is already implemented. Have you had a look at the Justified Layout (Flickr style) which is already available ?
I would also highly advise you to have a look at https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-laravel which could be considered at the mature Beta of the v4.
This repository is quite stale as you can see.
As far as I understood the Laravel version requires more than just a simple domain server from my provider? I don't have an SSH terminal for setup..
BTW: what's the justified layout? I would adapt the code in two main aspects: a) make better thumbnails and b) change compression & resolution of uploaded images. c) I also would like to change the default thumbnail size.

I actually we are trying to solve this ssh requirement.
With LycheeOrg/Lychee#361 we should now have an installer which will check the requirements. When we produce a release version, we also include the vendor folders so that composer is not needed for the install. This Pull request should allow you to also apply the migrations and get started. :)

That:
a) make better thumbnails and b) change compression & resolution of uploaded images. c) I also would like to change the default thumbnail size.
a) I don't get what you mean by better thumbnails, this is quite vague.
b) is already available
c) if you are not talking about the Thumbnail but "small" and "medium" sizes this is also already available in the advanced settings (the RED "more" button at the bottom of the settings page).

Thanks for the reply. And I read already the thread "LycheeOrg/Lychee#361", but honestly I did not understand how I shall now install what how? A simple tutorial would be helpful for 1) "migration from Lychee Std" and 2) starting from scratch.
"we should now have an installer": where is it and can I test it?
a) I mainly meant to control how the thumbnails will be created (for the "albums" view and inside the album itself). The preview image you posted goes in the right direction, if it will be customizeable. I'd like to get N by M pixel thumbnails, showing simply the scaled image, with out any cropping.
b) ok
c) works only in the Laravel version?
ohh.. additionally my provider has only PHP 7.2 available..

We have https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-Laravel/wiki/Install which is linked from the README
"we should now have an installer": where is it and can I test it?
It was merged into master today. LycheeOrg/Lychee/pull/361
ohh.. additionally my provider has only PHP 7.2 available..
We only removed support today (as it's EOL) but we won't intentionally break it. Admittedly, that's not a guarantee of future support.

- We currently do not have a "release" version available yet with the installer (very soon).
I am thinking about waiting for the merge of LycheeOrg/Lychee#430 before generating the next release.
Now that we have an installer, I'm seriously considering removing the beta part of Lychee-Laravel and finally have it officially as current. :)

Once the release is done, you can just extract it. and then accessing the install.php file from your web browser it will guide you through the install.

a) N by M exactly is not guaranteed because of proportion, but there is no crop in the justified layout.
c) It is also available in version 3 since 3.2.2 and 3.2.4

You will just need to edit a small file and everything will work for 7.2.
Takes note to add this into the FAQ
Ok. I'm patient and will postbone my software activities.. Thx so far..
I gave 3.2.16 a test. In this version I cannot organize the order of images by hand anymore - i.e. by drag/drop?! (usually only commercial software loses always already well introduced and well working options for making extra money with service packs)
Concerning the N by M thumbnail size: I would create a black empty square image and fit the original image centered into.
v4 has now been released and is available at https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee

As far as I can remember, that was never a feature. I vaguely remember hearing that some features may have been added to electerious's version after the LycheeOrg fork, but I can't say for sure. For v4 this is being tracked here. I don't anticipate it being backported to v3.

This part is wontfix for v3. If you would like it that way in v4, feel free to open an issue there.
