This was available using ImageField and is very important if you want to display images with different Imagecache presets in different sections.

Looking into it myself, but no luck so far.

Ok, found a fix fairly easily, it's a simple change to Imagecache itself to tell it's formatters to apply to 'file' types as well as 'image' types.

It almost seems pointless have a separate module included with FileFiled Image to add a fairly inflexible Imagecache option.

Good catch, much needed option. Let's see if I get around to finding a better solution to this.

Patch submitted to ImageCache issue queue.

#276956: Formatters support for FileField Image

I'm about to provide similar options on the Views form like exist in the field configuration form, but I encountered another issue with CCK that needs to be fixed beforehand - #276994: 3F #6: Unable to derive from CCK's Views handlers. This issue is important to me, I'll be making sure that it will be fixed soon (properly, rather than with a quick imagecache hack - no offence to your patch, but it just shouldn't be needed at all ideally).

The dependant issue has been closed, though it sounds like jpetso has a new and more clever idea for this. We await your magic ...

I will probably be merging a lot of filefield_image and filefield_imagecache into both imagefield and filefield respectively... Just to keep things a little closer to home and in the same family of modules.

My patch is now in issue #279288: There should be per context formatters for FileField: Teaser, Full Node, RSS (comment #3), and would fix this issue as well. Needs a minor bit of refinement still, but otherwise working nicely. Let's see if dopry likes the preset approach (and comments on it soon, otherwise I'll just commit it independently).

This is the goal of the metaformatter module that will be completed during the beta cycle. I'm bumping to 3.x so I don't forget it and remember to move it to metaformatter once the module's project page has been set up.

re: the original issue of selecting formatters in views... CCK handles exposing formatters to views for individual fields... the metaformatter issue is a wholly different issue and module.
