Hi all,

I've run into a predicament with Umbraco v7.1.4 and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to get around it. Basically my end user would like to modify an image crop and apply it to all images in their media directory. The problem is, they have 2000 images in their media folder. As far as I know, the recommendation at the moment when adding a new image crop or modifying one is to manually resave the image so that the crop is applied. I thought this would work programmatically using the mediaservice so I wrote the following function that can be called using a url with an appended querystring:

private void RefreshCrops()
{
    IEnumerable<IMedia> rootMedia = ms.GetRootMedia().Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "ImageFolder");

    IMedia umb_parentNode = rootMedia.ElementAt(0);

    IEnumerable<IMedia> umb_images = ms.GetDescendants(umb_parentNode.Id).Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "Image");

    umb_images.ForEach(x => ms.Save(x));

}

I have run this function but unfortunately it doesn't appear to work. The crops are used in a rotating gallery that is stored as a RTE macro in Umbraco. This gallery has a cache time of 10 seconds. Could this be the reason why I am not seeing the new image crops after running this method?

Any help or alternative methods would be greatly appreciated.
