It would be great if CS Cart could create 3 re-sized images from a single uploaded product image, rather than just one. Ideally each would have settings for max width / height.
Thumbnail image - for product list pages (rather than just re-sized in the html)
Standard image - for product detail pages
Larger image - for pop-ups
That would save page weight on product list pages and avoid waiting for massive pop up images to load.
The images are actually resized using the cart. They aren’t just done with html.
To make my images work right and have everything displayed correctly was to create an image that is 150 px x 150 px and upload that as my thumbnail and then just upload my larger image as my detailed image.
The only reason I did my images this way is because a lot of my images are different spapes and so this makes them display better.
What I am trying to do is have 3 different sizes of the product image, just like ExtremeCreations is saying, for example:
100x100 for product list.
300x300 for thumbnail inside product description.
500x500 for pop-up big image.
Right now if you upload the big image, the cart resizes and makes the thumbnail itself. But in the product list the image that it is being used is the thumbnail scaled with html making it look awful (using the same example: 300x300 scaled to 100x100).
So the idea is upload the big image and the cart should make two extra images, one for thumbail and another for the product list.

Someone has made something like this?

This is done with an add-on in Zen Cart and OScommerce.

Yeah but we are already using CS-cart.
We were using 100x100 for the thumbnail and list images, so there was no problem, and 500x500 for popup.
A couple of days ago I realized that the thumbnail is small and it’s more attractive if you make the thumbnail bigger, but the problem is what I explained in the last message.

Just wondering if someone couldn’t build a module for this. It will almost be necessary for us before we move to CS-Cart.
