 Yes I've swapped the pictures (please refresh the page to see it). However the correction of the pic ratio was necessary, as all pics from the eps 2 and 4 are too tall - the wheels should be round for example here: /vehicle_559361.html
I think you are still able to correct them. The correct size with 622 width should be something like 622x350.

 I'm not able to correct them all, so if it has wrong dimensions, do it for me or make it automatically somehow, please.

 I'm not able too - validators can.

 Ask antp to give you validating powers, he can't refuse. There aren't enough actively checking the contributions.

You've uploaded 95 with the wrong dimensions, they have to be corrected individually by you, there's no way to do it automatically.

 Happens to everyone sometimes - pity we didn't notice, that things are going in wrong direction, when the very first few were uploaded. :/

There were no warnings and errors after I submitted picture so I thought that is fine. I give up - I spent many hours to submit them and I won't spend any additional time to manually resize.

chicomarx BE

 So you want someone else to download them, fix the ratio, and upload them one by one?
If you have them on your computer you can do a batch conversion, then all you have to do is re-upload.

I don't know how do you guys store images (physically on the hdd or database binary) but it can be done automatically by a script or application. I haven't got these screenshots anymore. And I will not download every each of them, change size and re-up, sorry. If you delete them, I will be fine.

Then all your work would have been for nothing :/

That only happens if the image is too big (either in height or width or file size) or the wrong kind of file. Anything else won't be detected.

 A "download all" would be a good option, but that's not possible yet. Another suggestion for antp... Do a few at a time, there's no hurry.

 I think Antp's already got a long to-do list and he doesn't do these things very often. It wouldn't take ventr1s that long to save 96 images (15 minutes, maybe?) EDIT: Oh, wait it's only the ones from episodes 2 & 4. So even less time than that.

 I know but there are often contributions waiting that need fixing. You have to go from page to page to retrieve all images.

 Let's validate this like it is (tomorrow!) only once - as exception. We will correct the ratio during identification. Many of these cars need some information.

EDIT!!! Ah - sorry! I never used the tool we have here at the site. I thought, it is possible to change ratio of already listed pics, but now I see you can do it only once when you upload the pic (what in this case means re-upload) :/ So - no - bad idea.

 @chicomarx: Well, the contributor who got it wrong should sort that out. Ventr1s made a mistake in not keeping his files.

 I don't think that is my fault at all. On uploading picture page, there is a checkbox which says:

"[ ] Automatic resize/recompress picture if needed
(if this option is not checked, an error message will be shown if the picture does not meet criteria)."

I assumed that by checking this box, picture will be automatically resized. If the improper picture passes website validation and has been uploaded without any warning/errors, that's the fault of website developer and/or designer, not mine.

I am sorry guys, I don't want to take that into a form of battle or sth. I don't feel responsible for that and don't want to do such extra manual work like reuploading 100 pics, no matter how long it could take. Such job would be a nightmare for me.

"Ventr1s made a mistake in not keeping his files." -- I removed those screenshots I've submitted, but I still have kept all made screenshots; there are tons of them and I also don't want to find them one by one.

 @ventr1s - you've made a noticeable and high quality contribution to the site in a very short period since joining. I hope you won't let this local difficulty put you off, however it gets resolved.

 @ventr1s: The website can't detect images that are the wrong aspect ratio (squeezed or stretched). As Weasel1984 said above, that is the problem with your captures, not the image size.

Did I? ;) More problem with the copy of episode. Previous pics from different source-video were OK.
Anyway, honeslty I thought it will be more easy to correct, not very easy, but "more easy" - without "re-up". :/ Pity, as these are very interesting cars.

 Ok guys, I will re-up them, but not very soon as I haven't got access to my home CPU. Please remove/archive that discussion.

 I can more or less automatically do batch-resize of pictures on the server if they have the wrong ratio, but I have to know which ones in the files list (that I can access either sorted by vehicle number of by file date)
I wasn't much on the site in the last days - which ones have to be fixed? (just give a range of IDs or an example of a few of these)

 All of the last 95 added and awaiting validation: /movie.php?resultsStyle=asImages&sortBy=5&id=974105 (though I guess there are pictures on other movies added between them who may be affected)

antp BE

◊ 2012-12-26 01:08

 Done. They seem right, now.
Next time, do not hesitate to ask me: it took me 2 minutes, no more :D
