Greetings.
I have recently purchased a copy of the CKFinder to use within the CKEditor tool. All works will except for one very minor item that seems to be causing a major issue. The problem is with the way that the thumbnails are stored, or in my case not stored. First, I have ruled out any permission issues on the server, so know that is not the issue (more on how I know this in a moment). I say this as the very few references I discovered on the forms seemed to suggest a permission related issue.
Now, how I know this is that when I upload a new image, if the _thumbs folder does not exist then it is created. Likewise the Images folder is created inside the _thumbs folder. If I upload one of my images that is a PNG it will actually save a copy of that file in the _thumbs/Images folder but it will not be a thumbnail (same size as original) but it did save so not permission. If I upload one of my JPG files it will upload but no file gets stored in the _thumbs/Images folder.
The details on the two files I have been attempting to test with are listed below.
Type: PNG File
Width: 411 pixels
Height: 602 pixels
Horizontal Resolution: 299 dpi
Vertical Resolution: 299 dpi
Bit Depth: 32
Frame Count: 1
Type: JPG File
Width: 498 pixels
Height: 520 pixels
Horizontal Resolution: 96 dpi
Vertical Resolution: 96 dpi
Bit Depth: 24
Frame Count: 1
I have both ASP.NET 2.0 as well as AspImage.Image on my server and have left the Images.Add "component" set to AUTO as well as changed it to AspImage.Image with no luck.
So while it all works to the point I can use it the user will not see any thumbnail views with a rare exception and then it will not be a thumbnail but only a small section of the image in the _thumbs\Image folder.
At this point I am not sure where else to look and would like to see some “step-by-steps” as clearly I am missing something.

Re: Thumbnails or lack their of...
Have you tried the helper script for asp: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13604 ?
It's been a very long time since I haven't tested with AspImage.Image, I'll try to review that it's still working, although some of the activex were not very good and that's another reason why the preferred option is to use asp.net
Re: Thumbnails or lack their of...
I had forgotten about that wizard and after some effort I did get it to work and discovered that it was , in a way, a security issue. My site is protected by a few different authentication layers and one of them, that protects the directory structure itself, was the cause preventing the asp.net loopback. I made the needed changes and all works great now.
Thanks for the response.
Re: Thumbnails or lack their of...
Nice to hear that the problem is fixed, that you are very careful about your security and that the wizard has helped to find the problem
