Get image sizes to behave according to 'Image | Height' setting.

melrick

I always have troubles getting images to behave in the way that intuitively I think they should. So clearly I dont understand how the settings work.

The image height control does nothing. Ever!

If I set this image to Large or Full Size, then it shows it at full size, which is the 600 pixel size it was imported as. If I set it at Medium as it is now, it shows it at 300 pixels.

I expect that the height control would scale the image to the value entered, but it just does't ever do that.

What have I misunderstood?

Hello,

The "Image Width" and "Image Height" will not exactly be the same as you declare there, it will keep the proper ratio to not to distort the image.

Also, remember that both of the parameters (height and width) should be set.

If you want to display the image with different (even distorted) resolution, please insert the <img> HTML tag in the column item using proper CSS styles or HTML parameters.

Thanks

Thanks,

What you have suggested seems to be contradictory. You've indicated that it will keep the proper ratio, but that I should enter both parameters. What I am seeing is that it will follow a width setting without a height setting, but not the other way around.

I'm gonna make a few suggestions.

1. It would be more intuitive if you could JUST set the height or width, and the program did the scaling to maintain the aspect ratio. Otherwise I have to find the image size and do the calculation. Now, that's not hard, but that is the sort of thing that should just be done in the back end. That's why we have software, to take away menial tasks.
2. If you need to set both, then it should say that, because again, it's not intuitive, and it actually says that both fields are optional. This infers that you COULD set either one by itseld, because the other one is 'optional'. A user wants to set the height, OR they want to set the width. They should only HAVE to set both if they deliberately WANT To break the aspect ratio. And I note that it won't do that anyway.

Anyway, my problem is solved, but I think a great package could take on board this approach and be even better.
