display thumbnail preview image

I always like small and modulerized software: clean, fast and more easy to understand.

This is why I didn't implement the screenshot function yet.

What do you think about it?

what is that url ?
Here it doesn't work!

I still think this feature should be included in the module.
Reasons for:

1. Lots of people have been asking for this feature.
2. Building it into the module makes it the easiest to install and use.
3. Allows it to be designed specifically for the video.module.

Reasons against:

1. Makes the code more complex. Could add over 100 lines of code.
2. A separate module might be usefull for other things.

Any other reasons for or against?

I bring this up again because i've got some working code adding an image to video nodes. Right now I'm in the process of updating to the newest version of image.module and the new forms API.

What about adding image thumbnail support to video.module and then seeing how things work, and then think about spinning it into a seperate module?

please post here the code you have as a patch...

We will look if it is possible to separate the code.

I still think that a separate module is the better idea.

Right now I think you're probably right, functionally this could be a seperate module. It's just soo much more work ;(

I guess I'll try and get a module framework started and start another project for it.
