possible to view thumbnails on upload page?

I've had no feedback, but I can't figure out a way to view the thumbnails on the upload page, so I'm changing this to a feature request. I would aprpeciate a comment from anyone to let me know that someone has at least looked at this.

Thanks!

I added a new field to the form, thumb, to display a thumbnail of the photo with the following additions/changes to the code.

On line 101, changed the code to add the thumb field to my fields array:

$fields = array('filesize', 'dimensions', 'thumb', 'title', 'body');

After line 121 inserted the following code to define the new field:

Finally, added the 'thumb' field to the themed form by changing line 184 to

$header = array(theme('table_select_header_cell'), t('Name'), t('Size'), t('Dimensions'), t('Photo'), t('Title'), t('Body'));

and inserted the following after $filename in line 191

drupal_render($form['files']['thumb'][$key]),

This could probably be done better, but the above method seems to work okay. Surely I'm not the only one who wants this feature--It would be great if it could be added to the module.

Sorry-been ignoring the support queue, I'll take a look at what you propose.

Thanks.

Thanks . . . I realized that for users uploading hundreds or even dozens of photos, waiting for thumbnails to load would be prohibitively annoying. It would be best if this feature could be optional . . . I lack the expertise to code it in such a way, but perhaps you could just include the modified code in comments with instructions in the install file so that users who want to view thumbnails can easily uncomment the code.

True, I was torn on the thumbnails--They'd be great, or annoying, depending on how many photos you load. I built this for a photo blog, where we've posted 30,000 images in about 5 weeks. Thumbnails would have been bad for that one. But if you want to label each photo with a good title, you'll want thumbnails.

I hope to get going on this, perhaps it could be a "Setting" you could turn thumbnails on or off.

What do you think.

I think that a setting that could be turned on or off would be perfect! Let me know how it goes.

Here's a patch that will do thumbnails--

I'll put it in the module once I get the confirmation that it's working for people.

On the settings window, you have the option to use thumbnails, or not. By default they're turned off.

I have a feeling there's a cleaner way to code it--and am open to suggestions.

This is on my wish list as well. Marking as a feature request for the Drupal 6 version.

This has been added to the latest development version.
