ok. thanks for the quick responses in both cases stephen. ;) i have a
feeling we may both be on an antipodean clock. :) with most projects i'm
used to getting replies my next day, after north american / european day
while i'm sleeping.
interesting link.
on mezz in general i should say i think it's great work! i was looking to
implement a site in django (i am advanced in python, but only basic in
django so far) when i stumbled across mezzanine. looks to me like you've
got a lot of the basics covered so i don't have to, while still letting me
add custom django stuff easily as need. this seems like a python web
development sweet spot to me.
cheers,
e.

hmm, thanks stephen, you're right. that link shows the file / image

development... i'll have to try to work out what's gong on there.
It can definitely be fiddly. For example on debian based servers you might
not have installed the libjpeg-dev package via apt.
in terms of wanting to build on what's there to create and improved
gallery system, is there a recommended way of piggybacking on the existing
gallery functionality, and just adding features while allowing the built in
gallery stuff to be updated normally? or am i needing to fork the existing
gallery stuff to create a version with more features?
This thread might give you some background on where customization is
headed:

Although it's terribly hard to be more specific than that without more
specific questions.
thanks,

You'll probably find you don't have PIL or Pillow libraries correctly
installed.
Take a look at the media library on the demo site:
http://mezzanine.jupo.org/en/admin/media-library/browse/ (user/pass:
demo/demo) - you'll find that with either PIL or Pillow installed, wherever
images are displayed, they'll be resized.

hi there,
if i upload large images to my mezz site the filer /gallery image
browser is pretty useless for changing any properties or even selecting
images because it shows the images at full size.
really you should be able to have a scaled down version of the image
there to retain useability.
questions:
is there any plan for simple improvements (with vast usability impact)
to this part of mezz?
in the meantime can someone give me a pointer to where in mezz to apply
my own changes to this?
if this stays the way it is i guess i'll be forced to write my own
custom uploaded image handling from scratch, which seems a shame since
what's there by default is already part of the way to being useful for me.
cheers,
