create features using the new feature type image

[publicsphere]

Using the new feature type image, create features:

tile (AM)
standard (or basic)
thumbnail

And maybe a medium size between standard and thumbnail — or wait until it become required — your choice.

I think that the dimensions should form a bounding box that various shapes could fit within.

I'm letting you decide on precise name and image size.

PS. Ultimately we should have landscape and portrait versions of each image feature — but work on landscape first.

This needs some discussion.

I don't know what "title (AM)" means. I can see the utility of an image title - users need a way of finding the images they have uploaded in order to associate them with patterns.

You anticipate that when an image is uploaded, various sizes would be created. I'm not sure why that would be useful. We could resize images when they are used, but we don't have a design for how a user would specify what size image they wanted in the context of a view. (Nor a design for a view yet.)

What I imagine is that a creator of a pattern language would determine what images they want to associate with their patterns, then upload whatever versions/sizes/orientations they need. Say I'm designing a language called MyLanguage - and a template and views to go wit h it. I will define what features I need, including features for each image flavor I need - giving those features names that suggest their usage, such as "My Language thematic thumbnail" and "My Language full."

Good points! I'm still under water because of illness but I'll have something for you by the weekend. You coming back on Friday?
