image preview box

today, I'm working on letting users rotate and resize images with the context menu. I've also applied icons to the context menu (the work is private at the moment - will be public later today).

while I'm at it, I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile separating the HTML and JavaScript into separate files, and converting the "innerHTML"-style code into DOM code?

on a related note, am I wasting my time? will this code be accepted into the main body of work, or is it just another patch?

d'oh - my fault - I had "AutoDetectLanguage" set, but had removed most of the language files (all of my clients are Irish).

Please try again.

good hunting, Nikola. I remember worrying slightly about using GD on a public project for precisely this reason, but forgot my worries, as my own servers use a later GD.

I'm patching my version now. Thanks.

I've only written the code for the PHP version. Of course, there is no reason why a CF version can't be written as well - just base it on the code in the connectors/php directory - it's very simple to read (in my opinion).

As for the latin - that's fairly standard. I didn't write that bit myself, but it's a staple among web developers to always use pseudo latin as "filler" so you can tell what an aspect of design will look like when surrounded by content. Putting the actual content of the editor in there may be tricky, and /will/ cause problems, I'm sure.

Jeff. I'm no longer supporting this version of the file manager, but keep reading - my next post is about something better.
