The challenge of mobile images - discussion

[bwood]

Certainly getting the hang of this now Acorn. It’s been parsing the mobile size considerably. On the pasteboard I’m using arrow indicators where placeholder images are used (for my benefit only). Certainly can be used on the larger variants as well.
My work flow - I bring the image in and size it. Note the size, and export the photo and save. Now delete the photo from the design. Draw a rectangle the size of the photo, in placeholder replace with photo, generate image unchecked.

Very handy tool. I’m still a bit foggy on the thumbnail idea, but the replace photo option is very handy.

Bill, to avoid any recording, add the <img> Tag into the Placeholder without any Regenerate set and then delete the image from the Gallery.

You should document all your steps as it is still a pain and messy.
I can then validate them for you.

For instance, is the master image in its own non-Xara path or in the Xara External Assets folder?

Working on that Acorn. I have my Master images in their own folder. All very large as I do my own photos. Then after correctly sizing and processing I place them in another folder, usually a folder marked “mobile”. I think that’s the external.

I’m working on another museum. Based on the lumber industry. All the images on the phone variant page 1 are placeholders. I’m not finding an exceptional speed increase. Yet, on the full variant I am.
