[TYPO3-dev] resize on large images after upload

[bernd wilke]

hello,

i had to extend the upload-handling of an extension for images which were 
to large.
Why don't use it in the core on file(image)-uploading in fileadmin?

it occured that the file were uploaded anyway and than the size was 
checked. if it was to large it just was deleted and an error-message was 
given.

my idea: 
so the file is available on the server, I can resize it with IM/GM before 
storing (and save a lot of space) instead of a resizing everytime I want 
to display it.

The triggers for the resizing are: 
filesize in bytes and resolution in pixel:
if an image is larger than the allowed 1MB it is resized 
if an image is larger than the later needed resolution (1024x768) it is 
resized
both limits are configurable

the resulting image is resized to my maximum resolution (which should be 
selected to fit the filesize, as this is not checked any more)


what about having this in the core?

for uploads to fileadmin or uploads to any extension.
it should be configurable in install-tool like the maximum size for 
uploads and the maximum pixel-size for FE-images

BTW: a prototype-code may be seen on my german site:
