  1. @mdekker said in Image handling stinks in PS:

    Alright, seems to work fine. If the module refuses to install you do not have the PHP Imagick extension and/or ImageMagick installed. Follow these instructions to fix that: https://github.com/thirtybees/mdimagemagick#installation

    Solved! I just can't mark it solved. I also accidentally marked solved my own post (lol) in the other forum and can't change it. Credit goes to @mdekker

    @mdekker My problem with category images being postage-stamp sized is now fixed with this ImageMagick module.

  3. @mdekker said in Category cover images and thumbnails don't update:

    By using the ImageMagick module you can fix that: https://forum.thirtybees.com/topic/110/image-handling-stinks-in-ps/21

    It is now fixed. Please refer to the above link or:

  4. @Traumflug said in ImageMagick image processor - what are the optimal settings?:

    Nice to have such a module! Maybe it should even become part of the standard image handling page. Still I wonder a bit why there's an "original copy" switch. Hard to imagine a reason to not keep the original unless one never again wants to regenerate thumbnails. Same for the "progessive" switch: there's AFAIK no point in having non-progressive JPEGs.

    Each switch, choice, checkbox comes at a cost:

    • Every user has to learn about the "better" position of that switch/choice/checkbox. This is time consuming and if the outcome of that learning is the same for virtually all shop operators, a waste of efforts.
    • More options require more code, so more chances for bugs, additional code maintenance burden, larger memory footprint, etc.

    My $0.02

    @Traumflug I totally agree with your whole 2 cents! I came running over here (and am still out of breath) as soon as I saw those ImageMagick choices.

    What person besides a graphics designer (possibly) would know what lanczos & the other "resize filter types" are? The only filter I heard of is Gaussian but would have to Google it to know what it is and what it does.

    I have no idea what "PNG data encoding filter", progressive jpegs, blur, fuzz, etc (you get the 'picture'. pun intended!) are used for.

    Of all the settings, the only ones that make sense to me are "turn on" ImageMagick and keep original images known as "Original copy", which is an oxymoron, but ...

    @roband7 - agreed!

  5. I'm going to hold off on trying to import products and combinations for a couple of days.

    This way I can at least be productive in proofreading the TB docs. Not at all productive right now with the products.

    @Havouza I noticed in another post of yours that you found a typo. I'm going from the top down of what they've been written so I haven't reached that point yet, but I'll fix it as soon as I can. Thank you for pointing it out.

  6. @jnsgioia said in Has anyone used the csv import for combination products?:

    I haven't heard of that one. I tried the db application in libreoffice and looked at filemaker, neither worked for me. I guess I am just used to Access.

    I was using Microsoft excel for the Mac ( from Microsoft office for the Mac)

    You may like this. It's open source and free. It does the same thing, but doesn't put extraneous characters in the files:
