Thumbnails with dimensions
« on: September 16, 2014, 08:47 AM »
It would be nice to have automatic thumbnail creation -  screenshot + thumbnail + info about original image (dimensions and file size). That way if you post something on forum you can use small image and link to bigger one and people on mobile/tablet will know how big it is, and how much transfer it will use (they might not want to waste bandwidth on 5MB photo)

Something like this:

That's an interesting idea.. Still i can't help but think that this is really a function that you would want to implement in your forum system to perform automatically for every uploaded image, rather than something you'd want your screenshot/thumbnail tool to do.

Of course not automatically: make a screenshot, open window and in "special FX2" menu 2 positions -> "create thumbnail", and below "thumbnail configuration"
So just a few clicks instead of 5 min of work.
