I've installed Image Resizer 1.5

 

I have some problems.

1. I have "thumbs/" for Thumnail Subdirectory

Why does it create thumbs in the /images/ instead of /images/thumbs/ ? is there a bug in it? It works with /images_big/ for original size.

 

2. When I use 0 for Small Image Resize Method, but on the shopping page, the picture displays incorrectly because it has a "width=100 height=80" inside img tag while the real size is 57 x 80. Are you suppose to remove that "width=100 and height=80" out?Am i doing wrong?

I've discovered that Automatic Thumbnail is not good. It takes about 45% of CPU resource of 2.4Ghz on Windows Server. because each time you go to the page, the automatic thumbnail is checking every picture since it is On-The-Fly automatic resize.

 

is there any good recommend?

Automatic thumbnail should not be using that much cpu...

 

also it creates a thumbnail on the fly ONE TIME and then keeps it in the cache directory it creates

 

I use it and I have about 1300 products..I have seen no extra cpu load

 

I prefer auto thumb so I dont have to make it myself each time

do you have a contrib that adds extra images? maybe thats the problem...lets say you have 6 images and you hit a page...it would want to make those thumbs asap and if your site is popular it would be doing a lot of work initially until most the thumbs were made

 

also make sure the thumbs are being saved so that they arent being made over and over again

I don't have other contributions installed except UPS & Credit Card gateway contrib. All the products there are default that come from oscommerce installation. It shoots up to 13% of cpu with 28 products (default), then i add the Automatic thumbnail which shoots up to 45% of CPU. When I add new couple new products, it does auto create new thumbnail of that new product in the folder, but it keeps shooting up when i refresh or click the page again. I don't have anything running on the server, my server is Windows 2003. Do you think it's because of Windows for php that shoot high? Is linux more better for CPU? are there any difference speed between windows and linux for PHP?
