Crisp thumbnails
----------------
Key: DS-929
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-929
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Bram Luyten (@mire)
The standard DSpace functionality makes thumbnails look ugly (distorted, not
anti-aliased, ...)
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/6663
It's definitely possible to improve this because a few repositories out there
have implemented custom solutions, for example:
http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/browse?type=title
Look at those nice, crisp thumbnails!
The Cambridge implementation was initially developed for performance reasons.
So, they changed the implementation, and generate the thumbnails on the fly
using ImageMagick. These thumbnails are cached in a single flat file directory.
If there's a corrupted thumbnail, re-generating is just a case of deleting, and
it'll automatically be generated next time it's needed. Even with an empty
cache, this system seems faster than the default DSpace system.

Any developer out there that wants to take a stab at this?
