Re: Gallery module - files from ftp-server

You have any interest in implementing this Dean?

Not for the forseeable future.

I've got a lot of things already lined up to work on for a good while and this still seems kind of a strange scenario to me. A user uploads images to some other ftp server and then copies links into the module. It just seems a lot more likely they would ftp the images to some directory in the mojoportal site.

Agreed, that's why I recommended using an URL instead of making it FTP-specific.  That would make it easier to handle the case where the image is already somewhere under Data/Sites. 

Also image files can be very large if they come right out of a camera in high quality so you really need to make sure the one displayed is a reasonable web size.

I was assuming that the web-sized image would be generated at the same time as the thumbnail.

My dream for a gallery would be to use F-Spot to manage my whole collection. There is already a google sharp library in mono that could be used and someone also implemented picassa support in F-Spot to export images to picassa web so a picassa module would be a solution I could get excited about.
Sounds good to me.
