I use https://bulkresizephotos.com/en to resize images. It doesn’t upload anything, it’s all done within the browser, so I wonder if similar features could be added to dropzone?

Yes it would be great if we can do it client side with drop zone… please vote for this here…
I think these features are on the way, in relation to the new App Flows:

awesome… sounds promising… 
Has anyone downloaded Wappler 4… sorry i have not… but if so… did somebody notice if this is included in v4. … ( George …>>> So you can do image resize and manipulation all client side)
I don’t think anything new has been added in W4 yet. They have shifted over to Electron which has made everything super quick and brings a host of native possibilities too. I suspect ‘new’ stuff and requests will be starting to drop soon.
thanks Ben… and thanks for your feedback on the W4… its sounds awesome… when im all done with my projects… then ill upgrade…
I’ve been using each version pretty much from when they were released and have found them exceptionally stable (for a beta). I’ve now started using W4 on my live projects because I feel confident that it’s ready. When you do upgrade, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

@Teodor — Ok i have 500 images to upload that is at least 700kb - 1.2MB big… so my “POST” value would far exceed what the server would allow… so i cannot use Drop Zone i presume?
Is there a way to upload 500 images… in a loop or something…or que… so that once the first one is uploaded it load the next one… almost like FTP…
or is there a setting in dropzone that i can set to upload each images… and then when the image is loaded to the server the next one gets uploaded…
anyone ever had to upload loads of images client side?
I have a site. that I have uploaded a couple hundred photos no problem as long as the file sizes are less than server limit. I believe most servers have a 2 MB limit?
I didn’t use the drop zone though - just a regular multi-upload.
I believe, unless you need them to be original image size you can always decrease the size of the image in your upload steps so the file sizes are smaller.
Hi Brad… ok so the trick would be NOT to use drop-zone… that makes sense then… as the multi upload will “loop” with the repeat?? or is this the wrong idea… so it will basically “POST” the data of one image to the server… and then only do the next one… so as long as the images is less than the server upload limit …then i wont have an issue… is that correct?
That’s correct. I am not at my computer right now or I would get you as screenshot of my server action.

Cool whenever you can would be much appreciated… … as its almost 9pm here … ready for bed… 
thanks for the heads up on the multi upload… and I was so fixated with dropzone… that i missed that totally…
I’m not convinced the way the uploads are processed are any different between regular multi-upload and dropzone. Isn’t it just a UI difference? Server Connect would process it the same, wouldn’t it?

Well that was the main question… i was wondering about that myself… if you have the answer for me on that one… then it would be great… because i thought drop-zone used all the images in it as 1 POST size… but i have no idea…
Yes, it’s the same as multi upload. Just differently designed. It works the same way in Server Connect.

thanks Teodor… so i can add 500 images to the drop zone and it will not time out? ill give this a go then… thank you… ill make sure the POST image upload size on the sever is at least 6MB or something
If this is a one time only affair why not initially run a Server Action that simply copies the contents of one directory to another all server side for now… No forms just an Action, run it, job done, well at least for the first 500 (obviously if these images are located on your server). We did this recently with GB’s of images while shutting down a server and wanted all the media in a single directory for easy migration. We did turn up the memory allocated to PHP and the timeout period just as a precaution but it all run and completed fine.

Thanks for the idea… but these images will be posted from a clients website to the sever… its a gallery page … so the alternative was to get them FTP access… but that was going to open the sever up to load of risks… but thanks for sharing that idea… im sure it will be used by somebody…
