Hi Ole,
You seem to be receiving a lot of responses but there's one I would hope to
read but isn't here. I was expecting that the "Magnolia-way" would be not
store multiple instances of the same image, but instead one instance and be
able to deliver multiple instances on request. In this case, you would not
have to make any changes to the DMS but instead create a simple servlet that
can deliver varying instances.
Unless you REALLY do have a valid reason to store multiple instances of the
same image, I don't see why you should. Since you want to do the resize on
automatically on the upload anyway, why not do it on the download. Magnolia
is great with caching so you will only have to resize once just as you would
with the upload.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Jackson
