Pugdog,
I really think your site is well-thought. I'd be interested in working with you to develop the image upload Mod.

Could you explain, again (sorry), the details on automatically resizing the uploaded images? I've set the image tag so that all images on my catalog pages are only 45 pixels wide (to make uniformity) but that doesn't solve the problem of large images being stored on my server, not to mention the time it takes to load a page full of 100k images.

I know there are programs out there (I've tried them) that will auto-generate thumbnails and an image gallery, but I've had a problem incorporating the programs into the script. With the program I use for uploading (Upload.pl) you can probably specify different directories or just run separate scripts for each directory you want the images sent to. No prob, there. It would be nice to be able to run the upload through a program like they have on the GifWizard site (ala Link Exchange). It automatically resizes the images to the set width, height and file size.

Feel free to jump in here, anyone....
