[Gramps-devel] NarrativeWeb and large images

[Jeff S. <je...@ja...>]

I have many very large, high-resolution images ready for inclusion in my
gramps database. I've just started using NarrativeWeb and noticed that
the image display page shows the image at full resolution. This makes
the site slow and inconvenient (even on a local web server). I've
modified NarrativeWeb to put a scaled-down image on the page, with a
link to the full size one. This is similar to the way Gallery works
(http://codex.gallery2.org/).

I'm attaching the a patch diff listing for the modified file. The base 
is gramps 2.2.8, NarrativeWeb.py 8493 2007-05-18 18:38:07Z pez4brian
(An improvement would be to do the scaling only if the original is larger.)

BTW, I notice that NarrativeWeb in 3.1.1 tells the browser to scale the
image to a convenient size, but (if I read the code correctly) it's
still the full-size image that gets downloaded, so this won't improve
the site's responsiveness.
