Wanted: photo gallery with auto thumbnail generation - umbraco

I am looking for an Umbraco photo gallery, which supports automatic thumbnail generation (and possiblly other features), and ideally has source code, and can be integrated with uBlogsy.
Any idea would be very much appreciated.

Here are three options from the package repository:

http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/jqgallery
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/starter-kits/easymodules-gallery

Is there a way to pick *.HEIC files from an ios device in Flutter using Image_Picker or similar plugins from pub.dev?

i'm developing an App where I can upload images/photos from my phone photo gallery (ios device) to firebase.
Since I want to upload the images/photos in original format (e.g. *.HEIC for pictures taken by an iPhone) I need a plugin which allows me to do that.
Following plugin's I've tried so far:
wechat_assets_picker: this one does what I want to have and returns me a temporary path which contains the the picked image in it's original format (e.g.: /anyPath/tmp/IMG_0024.HEIC). But since I don't really like the UI of wechat_assets_picker, I would like to have sth. else. Maybe more native looking
image_picker: returns a path where the picture is converterd to *.jpeg (e.g.: /anyPath/image_picker_randomNumber.jpg). This is not what I want!
images_picker: same as image_picker... converts the image to *.jpg
image_pickers: similar to wechat_assets_picker but it does what I want. But I don't like the UI either
likk_picker: same - not what I'm looking for
file_picker: same - returns *.jpg
I'm getting tired trying all the plugins.
Is there anyone who can support? Maybe any other way how to pick an image from my gallery in it's original format and quality?
Thanks!
Given the fact that other plugins usually compress HEICs when picking, I would suggest you consider the below solutions:
wechat_assets_picker allows you to build your widgets using delegations. By override build delegates, you can customize each part or the whole part of the interface.
wechat_assets_picker depends on the underlying plugin photo_manager which allows you to build your widgets from the bottom on your own.

PDF image for iOS Assets

we can add image as pdf in ios assets for application.But i'm confusing that which approach is good for application.
Png file direct drag and drop to Assets
or use image as PDF
i have follows links
https://icons8.com/articles/how-to-use-vectors-in-xcode-7/
and https://bjango.com/articles/idontusepdfs/
but not able to decide which one is better solution for assets.
i know how to works with pdf asset but cannot decide which method is better from development point of view.
Thanks in advance.
If your artwork has complex gradients, generate the PNGs yourself. Otherwise, use PDFs. That's how I read it.
Personally, I have the luxury of working with a designer who just gives me assets at all the required sizes. On another project, Sketch was used which can auto-generate PNGs from a script as part of the build process. So I've never actually used PDFs.

iOS - Is there a way to generate a PDF file with layers?

Quick question, that I haven't found a solid answer yet.
Is it possible to generate a PDF in iOS that includes layers, which can then be removed/separated in Photoshop?
What I'm trying to achieve is take a picture with the camera of the phone, then place text over it, submit it as pdf to a customer and then have the customer read the text and remove it.
I can do everything except the layering of the pdf and I have found some hints that this isn't possible to do with the standard iOS library, but I wanted to know if anyone has come across this before.
Thank you.
The standard iOS API for creating PDF files cannot create layers (optional content) in a PDF page.
This library IFXPDFFactory seems to be able to generate PDF files with layers.
PoDoFo and libHaru can also be used to generate PDF files on iOS but I do not know if they support layers.

PSPDFKit add network image into scrollview like pdf page

I'm using PSPDFKit in my app. I want to load remote images async with the framework, cause there are both images and normal files in my app. I have tried convert imageData into PDFDataProvider, which cannot be Asynchronous. Does anyone have ideas?
Author of PSPDFKit here. Please contact us for feature requests directly, we only rarely monitor StackOverflow - that's not the right platform to provide support for commercial products.
That being said, the PSPDFViewController is designed to present PDF files - we don't have immediate plans to add support for other file types.

PDF Previewing and viewing

I'm creating a document viewing web application. You log in and it takes you to a screen where you have all your docs listed on the left. I want to make it so that when you roll over a document a preview of the document shows up on the right. From there you can click on it for a full view and printing capabilities. I'm not asking how to do all that but I'm wondering what the best way would be to go about rendering the preview of the document. The documents are all going to be pdfs and stored on a server. I'm working in asp.net 3.5 mvc in visual studios 2008.
For creating the PDF preview, first have a look at some other discussions on the subject on StackOverflow:
How can I take preview of documents?
Get a preview jpeg of a pdf on windows?
If these don't answer your question, you can try a couple more things:
You can get a commercial renderer (PDFViewForNet, PDFRasterizer.NET, ABCPDF, ActivePDF, ...).
Most are fairly expensive though, especially if all you care about is making thumbnails.
There is a CodeProject article that shows how to use the Adobe ActiveX, but it may be out of date, easily broken by new releases and its legality is murky.
Install GhostScript on the server and request rendered thumbnails of any page from it.
I did a small project that you will find on the Developer Express forums as an attachment.
Be careful of the license requirements for GhostScript through.
I use it for an internal software and it's working pretty well.
Hope this helps.
Here
I render the jpeg thumbnails of the first page of the pdf document when a file is uploaded.
When the user clicks he can download the document (or open them direcly in the browser) to read and print them.
Update: to create the thumbnails I used a .net component called PDFView4NET from O2Solutions
