Image Resizing Preferences

Control Panel Location: Admin ‣ System Administration ‣ Image Resizing Preferences

This section of the Control Panel allows you to define preferences for image resizing, such as creating thumbnails or resizing uploaded images.

Image Resizing Protocol

This is where you indicate which resizing protocol to use. You may need to contact your Host or server admin to determine which protocols are installed and available on your server. The options are:

Image Converter Path

If you specified either “ImageMagick” or “NetPBM” in the preference above, then you must list the server path to the library in this setting. If you do not know the server path, contact your Host or server admin.

Image Thumbnail Suffix

You may specify a suffix to be automatically added to the filename of any generated thumbnail. This will ensure that the thumbnail image does not overwrite the original and will also make it easy to see that it is a thumbnail image. “thumb” is used by default.

If the original image was flowers.jpg then the thumbnail would be flowers_thumb.jpg.
