Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

[mesnitu]

Hi

I haven't install IH4 yet, but it looks like the main purpose, it's for making and displaying different images sizes in a easy way.
I have a question or two:

I was wondering, if this module could be use to set responsive images, ie: using the srcset.
And, if it works with other products types, ie: bookx product type.

ups, I have a third question:
I use a lot, Easypopulate. The use of GD only works upon image upload, or if the images that are uploaded by ftp, also get different sizes ?

Thanks

Anywhere that zen_image is used IH4 will applicably compress the image(s). It is not product type dependent and works on non-product images as well. Also, the work occurs when the image is first accessed, so if the image(s) are uploaded by ftp or other method, the first visitor to be presented the image(s) will experience a small lag while the compression and storage occurs, but every other visitor after that will experience the benefit of IH4. It is also possible (somewhere in thread) to "manually" force the access of the image(s) to create the new file(s) before the first visitor visits.

Thanks for the reply
So I guess, one could use this images for responsive images and breakpoints. I'll install this module.

I've read somewhere along this thread, that the there is a beta version on git, that names the images for human readability (not sure if it's need it ), but I didn't find a beta release in git ?
Is there still a difference between the git and the zencart download ?

Thanks

The link posted in post 1438 (previous page) is the github version that is considered "Beta". That version has not been uploaded to the ZC site and yes is different.
