Problems with Image Manager

[dcross]

if you have a folder inside uploads/images/yourfolder...
going to IM you will see images and at the top your folder is listed, it shows folders first then images...
clik the folder... yourfolder  you should be able to see your images...
i have 13 folders in mine and i can just clik one to see the images...

ok if you read the link in the post tsw yesterday all i've said is reduntant...

I have the folder: /uploads/images/LightingWork

If I upload a file using IM to this folder it appears - including the thumbnail.  If I upload another after it it gets uploads (I know that by looking at the servers file system), but the thumbnail has not been created and the image nor the thumbnail appear in the IM.  However images that did not appear straight away in IM appear now - several hours later.

If I FTP an image to /uploads/images/LightingWork the images does not show in IM and the thumbnail is not created.

this sounds like server issues...
i never use the IM upload as i generally upload more than one img. at a time ,FTP,... never had any problem seeing them right away...
the CHMOD for this folder is set correctly.. of course... hmm... strange... as i only use a linux server don't know what windows server is doing...

Well unless there is a scheduled script, there is no way GD would start to make the thumbnails when images are FTPd.  What commands goes CMS pass to GD (and how) so that I might be able to schedule such a script.

Is there part of the CMS .php code I can use to start this process off.

i mean i see them after FTP upload, when i go to IM to see the regular img. then if i goto FTP client and look at the Folder content it shows thumbs have been created ie. thumb_sample.jpg from sample.jpg...

I know what you mean.  The issue is this.  At what point does CMS or IM call the GD functions.  Thumbnail creation has to be started somehow, some way. Logic suggests that IM uploads the file to the folder, then runs GD with given parameters to create the thumbnail.

I want to know how IM works and what processes occur.  Does IM scan the images folder and make thumbnails for images that don't have them?  Does it call GD when IM uploads a file?  These are the questions I need answered.

Cheers.

Is there any proceeding on the problem with the Image Manager that does not create thumbs for large files?

I am experiencing this too.
