Bugzilla – Bug 1515
Auto resizing of Artwork
Last modified: 2008-12-15 13:06:35 UTC
The summary says it all. Depending on the source (download from various CD vendors, or personal scanner), the artwork could be any size to begin with. The "thumbnail" section works well, kudos to you, but each album page on which the artwork is displayed shows its actual size. Sometimes the artwork is too big that it does not fit in the left-hand frame of the window (normal skin). It would be nice if you could do some tweak so that, no matter the size of the jpg of the artwork may be, it is automatically resized so that the artwork is displayed nicely in the frame. Thank you as always!
this was done in the fishbone skin originally, but I recieved a great many complaints becuase anyone with artwork smaller than the size specified were forced to look at a horribly scaled image. what is needed is something like a max size restriction, but none such animal seems to exist. a user pref could solve this, but there are already too many prefs
I suggested a method of doing this to KDF, by having an onload event on the artwork that looks at the loaded size of the image and only scales when necessary. If the size is greater than the width of the frame, it will be reduced to just smaller than the frame width. This has now been implemented in the fishbone skin. Not sure what skin the originator of this bug is using. Nb. The image size is not currently rescaled if the frame width changes.
Created attachment 844 [details] add resize feature to Default browseDB this resizes images on the browsedb page for Default skin if the artwork is larger than the width of the frame.
current 6.2 builds resize for fishbone and default skins when browsing albums.
