I whole-heartedly agree. I’ve just been looking into how to hack the source code to change the default width to 440px, which is my default, but a built-in option would be splendid. It’s the one thing that’s preventing me from moving all my sites over to WP2.0.

It’s driving me nuts that when I choose ‘Using Original’ to insert the original sized picture it shrinks it down to 128 * 96 (thumbnail size). I agree, it’s obviously a mistake in the code. I know I can change it manually each time using the HTML editor in the post box, but I’d much prefer to fix it.

I know almost nothing about writing code, but I have been successful in the past making a backup copy of the file and then just playing around with the original using Dreamweaver. This time nothing is working. I’ve tried changing various places in the inline-uploading file under wp-admin where it says 128 and 96. Am I looking in the right file? Can Any of you guys tell me what to change?

Thanks in advance.

yes this wasn’t exactly intuitive
I finally figured out to click on the image itself and a div popped up that let me set some options … that were hardly intuitive either

I eventually got it to use the thumbnail then link in the page to the full sized image but that in turn seems to link to the image itself free of my pages … no where am I finding any options like what size would I like my thumbnails, and would I like my in the page images to actually link to the image (no), would I like to have a next/prev link if there is more than one image in a post (yes) and what about a back link to get back to the post if I stayed in the page? it is missing

It may all be there, but there is no help link or anything else I am finding. I do like that it lets me delete … and I assume that means it is cleaning my server of all sized versions of the image … if there are really multiple images

Yes. I have been looking for this information and it is hard to find. I loved the options with “Sticky Image”. They should have given the same options.

Haven’t seen Sticky Image, but I’m guessing the new image manager isn’t quite baked yet. If you select an image, and tell it to insert the original sized image (not a thumbnail), it does insert an image using the original file, but sets the width and height of the img element to be 128×96 (or whatever the aspect ratio of the image allows). Manually fixing the width/height to the real values for the image works fine…

Thanks for the tips…made the upgrade a lot easier. Still took me an eternity though but that’s on me.

Has anyone actually succeeded in changing the thumbnail size? I replaced all the ‘128’ and ’96’ values in inline-uploading.php and all uploaded images still got 128×96 thumbnails after that…

The previous default uploader, while primitive, at least allowed you to easily customize your thumbnail size (I vary my thumbnail sizes with ea. image I upload). Currently, I have to do this manually & it’s a big drag!

Not ready for prime time imo…

If anyone finds a good new plugin to do this pls. let us know.
