Been trying to get the Image Gallery working and have some issues - these may not be bugs but if they are not then the functionality of this feature is weird indeed.
When I load a big image file 1772x1155 px 3.13Mb jpg 300dpi I end up with the 3 images in the 3 directories for the gallery as expected but despite being resized as expected all 3 are still 3.13Mb file size. The display sizes are correct and the dpi is reduced to 96 but the file is unchanged. This measn that a gallery page of 20 images would be 60Mb download just for the thumbnails - is it meant to be like this? All 3 versions are the same filesize but display at the size expected.
A minor point when you leave any of the controls image size settings blank the validation error does not indicate the name of the setting you have left out and also indicates that there is a default size - to my way of thinking if there is a default then blank should be valid - so it defaults to the default.
Is the control not meant to do some optimizing for web images and thumbbails?

Hi John,
I will log a bug in our project tracker and look into this for the next release. The smaller images should not be the same size on disk as the larger ones. This problem may have been introduced with our new file system abstraction layer that allows plugging in different file system providers. The way files are saved to disk has been revamped. I can see a few on my own machine where the thumbnails are the same size on disk as the full size images. It did not do that in the past so I think it is some side effect of recent changes. Thanks for letting me know as I had not noticed this.
Best,
Joe
OK fine - not critical I think Matt is up for writing his own ;) - Always glad to discover it's a real bug not just me being really dumb.
Cheers
fyi, I've fixed this and I also patched the 2.3.7.0 release with the fix. So if you download mojoPortal 2.3.7.0 again and replace the mojoPortal.Web.dll it should fix the problem for newly uploaded images.
Great thanks Joe - was planning to upgrade our source from 2.3.6.9 to 2.3.7.0 today anyway.
