Pekka, I have changed the default size to 800 pixels which should be "medium" sized photos in my database. I did this my setting the variable in basecode/SETUP_settings.php per your reply in a thread discussing default size. I have run the retrieve photo sizes routine from the ee control panel for my entire database.
I notice that when I select the "Large" size in the frame of the displayed photo that the next pictures are presented large, but it eventually seems to revert to the "medium" size. I cannot seem to figure out what properties this seems to have. Not a given number of photo views, possibly time? Is this a bug or feature?
It seems that it should work one of two ways. 1) if a viewer selects a different size photo, all photos will be served at that size for an extended period of time at least to represent that session, or; 2) The viewer will be presented with an alternate size photo on the photo he selects, but the next photo is served at the default size.
What the software does is somewhat in between these two thinigs.
Lastly, It would be great to be able to specify a given size to serve by max width or height. I have mine set to 800 because most of my photos are landscape orientation, but the portrait orientation at 800 is too tall for most monitors. Idealy I would be able to specify a default 800 wide, and 640 high. If not practical to add another variable, possibly the height could be checked at 80% or so of the value of the width where the variable is compared to the size of the file. I don't know in the code where this is checked.
Thanks, and thanks for the software!
