I have several customers who wants to upload a full size image and then use different sizes of that image.
Since I dont want the user to use the full size and change the size I want to use the thumbnails that gets created whn the image is uploaded.
Do you mean that if I use the Imagegen I can somehow make the upload datatype to use that and I will be able to retrieve the thumbnails from the editor?
My main problem is that the user should be able to upload a full size image and then it should be automatically saved in a number of different sizes.
But do you mean that its automatically saved a smaller image when a user resizes it in editor? In that case that solves it! Can you or anyone else confirm that?
Another problem with that: When the user have resized the image and the image is saved as for example glas1_250x166.jpg and is located in the same folder on the server as the original, the user cant retrieve that image in any way but has to create a new image.
Why cant all images be retreieved in image archive??
Or is it just me who want to have that possibility?
If you have some prefered width/height properties, umbraco can create this image automatically, when you add image into media section. But there is no support to retrive it other then manually update image url.
And that possibility to get the image from the editor is what Im looking for. Getting the image from a macro or writing it manually is not very user friendly. The customer wants to be able to pick an image and display it in the editor.
Get thumbnails from tinyMce

Are there any way I can achieve this?
Hi froad,
Have you looked at Doug's ImageGen?

I think it can be done using simple macro but I know it's far from ideal.
But when user resize image in editor new image with resized width and height is created automatically. Maybe you don't need use thumbnails.
ImageGen is great, but it has no support in tinyMce, so is relatively hard for editors to use it.
