Roan, lets get this code into SVN... </pre> </blockquote> Working on it. I've redesigned it per Jon's thoughts on a generic thumb nail ability for all media types handled by CCHost. Currently the class is called CCResampler, and the function is called Thumbnail. See thread: " [Cctools-cchost] function for generating png thumbnails from svg files" on this list for details on how the function will work. The class it will belong to has changed, but the function itself hasn't. Initially CCResampler will be targeted at SVG files in particular, but adding other graphic formats will be relatively easy. The other media types will come later. <blockquote cite="mid1194644276.27856.35.camel@localhost" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""></pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">If I can't modify the code, at least I can create all missing thumbnails and make a simple script to generate static HTML pages for all the tags that show (img src) the thumbnails.

We do need to generate the missing thumbnails. A couple policy issues we need to iron out before we go hog wild: What is the naming convention for our thumbnails? * I suggest <file_name>-tn<thumbnail size>.png. With the thumb nail size right justified and zero padded so they sort nicely in a directory listing. examples: roan_drawing3-tn128.png, roan_drawing3-tn064.png, etc. Where should the default thumbnail reside? * I'm voting for having it reside in the same directory as the svg file. What is the standard size of the default thumbnail? * From what I've read it looks like 128px is the suggested default size for thumbnails. See: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3225">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3225</a> Attached to the bug listed above, someone created a shell script to generate thumbnails. I haven't tested it. If it does a good job, you could use this as a basis for your script to mass generate thumbnails. However you do it. I suggest using inkscape as your initial svg to png converter. If you want square thumbnails, you will need to use another program to pad the shorter side. On other issues, I don't think we need to generate static pages to display the thumbnails. There is some code to display thumbnails already in cchost. Currently it calls the svg file in an image (<img >) tag. I suggest we first modify the code to call our new png thumbnails instead of the svg file. I think the main file that needs modified is: "./cctemplates/misc.xml" We also need to figure out how to listen for certain events, and then call the new CCRender:Thumbnail function.
