PictPress 1.0

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Update (3-jan-2008): I am working on a major rewrite of PictPress that makes it better integrate with the WordPress attachment functionality. This will take some time however.

I finally got around to bumping the version number to 1.0 final, fully supporting WordPress 1.5, just before the release of WordPress 2.0 :-)

PictPress is a WordPress 1.2/1.5 plugin that automatically generates a post with thumbnails and picture posts for all images found in a directory. Thumbnails and pictures are resized on the fly and stored in a cache directory. For an example see my post with pictures of a Treble concert.

Changes since version 0.99

  • Resize does not enlarge images.
  • Options added for sort order.
  • Option added for adding a category to picture posts.
  • Option added for using either picture time or main post time for picture posts.
  • Template function added for printing post modified time (not really PictPress related, but too small for separate plugin).
  • Content filter added for adding thumbnails to other posts.
  • Filter added to add parent title to picture post title.
  • Add page to edit subtitles.
  • Add silent option for omitting debugging comments in posts.
  • Add resize functionality for different aspect ratios, e.g. thumbnails can be square now.
  • Add template functions for generating archives by date and archves by category.
  • Add options page.
