Right now it's using the old image plugin, so java.awt classes.
While I was thinking about going for an image module, Sergiu pointed
me towards Apache xml graphics library.
Using an external tool such as image magic as an alternate
implementation could also be interesting indeed.
> * Should this module be limited to thumbnails
only or can we make it a more generic module in charge of handling image manipulations
(and caching) in general (and thus including thumbnails)? I see this as replacing the old
image plugin.
Just out of curiosity, is this plugin supposed to work properly within headless servers
and out of them?
I tend to meet often image manipulations tools that rely on a GUI which is a problem for
many servers.
At the end, everyone does it with ImageMagick (which is a fairly powerful tool).
The name "thumbnails" made me think of thumbnails of pages, which is another
area in evolution but would require an amount more work.
What do you mean by that ? Visual thumbnail representation of a document ?
