Hello :)
I was considering to disable square thumbnails, because my VPS's
file limit of 500k inodes is nearly reached. And since I'm using top
and bottom arrows above and below the picture I wouldnt miss
them too much as it would allow me to upload more content.
On the index page I'm using gthumbs.
I cant disable them in the Options it seems, sq does not have a check-mark to remove.
Now if I remove the $DISPLAY_NAV_THUMB from the picture.tpl,
will the _sq files still be generated automatically ?
Because just removing it from the picture.tpl and then deleting them via ftp would
be an easy solution (if it works) ?
And to remove the old ones I would have to use
an ftp search I reckon ?
As there is no option remove _sq files under the Options.
cheers and a happy Sunday,
kyp

Simply go to admincp > tools > maintenance > Delete multiple size images and click square. I believe if you never use them, then they will never be generated. Batch manager in admin cp does use square thumbs though.

Hi,
the batch manager uses "thumb" sizes, only the album sort order uses -sq size.
Deleting all my sq files would sum itself up to around 100k files, and I wouldnt trust that to a batch process, since it probably would timeout.
But I've tested it now on localhost and it did not generate any sq sizes when:
o tagging pictures via batch manager
o generating th, large, xxl thumbnails in the batch manager
Which is good news for me :)
Because now I've got 1/5th of my inodes back (file limit on disk set by hosting providers)
On the picture page I'm using now thumb ( <img src="{$previous.derivatives.thumb->get_url()}" ) as thumbnails, I just put
them vertically one below the other instead of horizontally on one line (with elegant theme)
Still would be curious about a dev input.
cheers,
kyp
