Plugin Description

This Plugin will automatically create thumbnail images of any .png, .jpg or .gif file submitted via add.cgi, or added/modified via the admin panel. Includes features such as: ability to choose thumbnailing size (percentage or pixel size), regeneration of *all* thumnails (great if you have changed the thumnail size, and need all the other images re-generated), and more. For those of you using images in your reviews (or wanting to), you can now auto-thumbnail review images too!

Version 5.6 - now has support for foreign charachters in the file names.
