Hello Sam,

How are these images uploaded to the site? They need to be uploaded through the media manager in EasyBlog. If you are uploading it using a different uploader or ftp, then it doesn't generate those thumbnails.

Thanks for the info, Mark.
I don't recall this being an issue in previous versions. If this is not considered a bug, how do I request a way to upload my images via FTP or other and still see thumbnails? It would be great if it worked similar to applications like Phocagallery, which allows image upload from their utility or FTP, and has an option to recreate thumbnails when needed.

I have always used Filezilla to upload my images to Easyblog and this is the first time I cannot see my images in the Easyblog Media Manger.

Hello Sam,

Hm, it has always been this way as EasyBlog always uses the thumbnails that is generated by the system. The reason that the main image doesn't render on media manager is because if those images are high quality images, it's going to take ages for so many images to get rendered

I apologize I didn't understand the answer. what do I need to do so that I can view my current images in media manager and future image uploads.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the explanation.

The media manager is not worth the trouble, or I don't fully understand its potential. I use Filezilla to put my files in an image directory and, within JCE editor, I can use the image manager to insert my media -- and I can see the thumbnails.

If I use the Easyblog composer, or JCE editor with your media manager, the thumbnail images are not viewable.

If I upload images via the media manager as you suggest, it creates multiple versions of the file, puts them in folders created by the upload and duplicates the filename adding an extension based on the size of the duplicated original. Too confusing for me to follow and keep my images organized.

I have a way to upload images that works the way I like to see them, so I am ok with not using the media manager with the cleared images.

Thanks for the input on this Sam. Perhaps JCE is rendering the images as is, but do you have a lot of images in a same folder?

I have 20 - 30 images per folder averaging 50KB per file. I would not consider this a lot.

Yeah, 20 - 30 at 50kb per file makes perfect sense to render everything as it is. There are a lot of sites where there are thousands of images and with an average file size of 2MB, it's going to crash for them
