Question & Thanks
 (United States)

Thanks for making this available! I surprised there are not more people here who find this editor useful.

I have been playing with it for a while and I'm wondering if there is a way to resize images using the control. All I see right now is a way to crop.

Re: Question & Thanks

I had considered adding resize to the user interface but all of my own use cases pointed to allowing the developer or site admin to specifying a maximum size constraint in the MaxImageSize property. If the property AutoResize is set to true, the uploaded image will be automatically resized to fit this constraint before being saved to file storage. Likewise, the MaxThumbSize may also be specified so that when the AutoThumbnail property is set true, a thumbnail image constrained by this size will be automatically created.

I'm not adverse to adding user resize capabilities - what would you think would be the best way of letting the user specify the desired size?  - dropdownlist of predetermined sizes, textboxes for width and height, or an image handle drag. The latter option would be difficult as the dragable size would constrained by the available preview area.

The drag would be too much of a "choice". I would think it would work the best with a dropdown.

The admin would set the max image size on upload then define the "Resize" dimensions for large, medium, small and ThumbNail (if desired).

I really only see this module being used by the novice user who has no understanding of image sizes so too many options would just be confusing to someone who is already confused :)
