[ADDON] Browsing Images & Thumbnailing - NIX & Win

Hello everyone ....
I found this like 20 minutes ago and ran my tests and i like it so i am sharing.
What does it do?
It displays all images (or all files if you set it that way) in a directory in thumbnails (80x50) in a nice table with the following related info:
- size in kb
- size in pixels
- file name
If you click a thumbnail a window will pop-up with the actual size of the image.
This is a Php script (chmod to 644) .. and you may implement it any way you like ..
Personally, i edited the interface templates (_art_menus.html & _writer_menus.html) and added a Browse link that open in a new window to call the file.
i.e: Find <input type="submit" name="img_upload" value="Upload Images"> and after that add <FONT SIZE="2"><a href="../uploads/tedls.php" target="_blank">Browse</a></FONT>
I uploaded the script to my Uploads folder .. but you can put it anywhere you like if you edit the path to the images dir and images dir is chmoded to 777.
Its really simple .. so have a go at it and if you have any questions ask away.

Hi MalaK,
I think you may be on to something very interesting here.
Let me throw in a couple thoughts.
If you have say 100 writers who all have seperate accounts can the template for displaying the images be set up to only show the images that the one specific writer uploaded? (exception of course being the admin)
If that is possible can it be done in something other than php? Reason being that if it can be done with cgi or perl it may be more universal in application.
The reasoning behind this thought is repetitive image use. Currently when a writer wants to use an image with each article that is the same image it requires a seperate upload of the image each time. If the specific writer was able to browse and select from THEIR OWN image gallery this would reduce significantly the amount of space needed to house all those extra images.
Does that make sense?
Brian

Hi Brian .. perfect sense
Currently the rights we can set per writer are so limited.
We need to be able to define users groups and assign them different rights .. assign what fields each group can see/use and which directories they can publish or upload to.
Talking about reducing the amount of space needed to house all those extra images, isn't it better to have users share images?
well .. am sure you have your reasons. :)
I searched in the past and could not find a descent cgi script that does this .. and since its an external file i see no problem of it being a Php file.
I apologise for not including a link to the script from the developer site, so here it is:
http://www.liquidpulse.net/software/1
This one is simple and plain and it does not do magic .. it just list all images in thumbnails .. it would be great if we modify it to get more .. or find something better .. and hopefully in perl.

Great work! I think AM should have this by default
One question! If I have different folders for different categories, will this work?

This is much like an image management feature that I requested a few months back. Thanks for the heads up!
