the "Edit thumbnails" used to work prior to 1.4.1 (albeit on another host). Now it just produces a black rectangle with nothing in it. here's the source of the popup window (try for yourself at my gallery, link below):

<html>
<head>
  <title>Custom Thumbnail</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://wintersteele.com/modules/gallery/css/embedded_style.css.default">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://wintersteele.com/modules/gallery/css/standalone_style.css.default"></head>

<body dir="ltr">

<span class="popuphead">Custom Thumbnail</span>
<br>


<span class="popup">
Choose which part of the image will compose your thumbnail:</span>

<APPLET CODE="ImageCrop" WIDTH=460 HEIGHT=430 CODEBASE="./java" ARCHIVE="ImageTools.jar">
  <PARAM NAME="type"   VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2">
  <PARAM NAME=bgcolor  VALUE="#FFFFFF">
  <PARAM NAME=image    VALUE="http://wintersteele.com/albums/babies/P1010004.sized.jpg">
  <PARAM NAME=image_w  VALUE="500">
  <PARAM NAME=image_h  VALUE="653">
  <PARAM NAME=crop_x   VALUE="">
  <PARAM NAME=crop_y   VALUE="">
  <PARAM NAME=crop_w   VALUE="">
  <PARAM NAME=crop_h   VALUE="">
  <PARAM NAME=submit   VALUE="http://wintersteele.com/modules/gallery/edit_thumb.php?index=3&set_albumName=babies">
  <PARAM NAME=crop_to_size  VALUE="150">
</APPLET>

I updated the ImageTools.jar file to the new version from CVS (1.9)

it is supposed to work better with MS JVM, but no dice.

Btw, anyone who wants to see what I am talking about, try selecting "Edit Thumbnails" at http://wintersteele.com/modules/gallery

Yeah, I just came searching for this issue after upgrading to 1.4.1-pl1. I had to hide an image after I tried to do edit thumbnail. The box was acting weird when I tried to resize it. no matter which way I was dragging it, it would make the box smaller, unless I tapped quickly to pull it (both in Mozilla and IE). Finally, I got the size i wanted and then poof, a small 1x1 or 2x2 black box appeared where my thumb was and now I can't get rid of it. I rebuilt all thumbs but no luck!

First, I am brand new to Gallery and am currently testing it out.

I am having the same problem mentioned above. When I attempt to edit thumbnails, I get the dialogue box with a gray rectangle where the image should be.

I am running 1.4.1-pl1 at Dreamhost, ImageMagick is the graphics app, IE 6.0.2.

Any help would be appreciated.

The cure seems to be adding Sun Java plug-in not Microsoft VM. I had the same problem. I edited a thumbnail "Timmy" on tart666, http://wintersteele.com/modules/gallery. Seems to work fine. It appears there are some capatibility problems with recent builds. I used IE 6.0.28 with the Sun Java 2v1.4.2_03 plugin. It's free and it seems to work just fine.

Hi,

It's working fine here. I'm using Sun's Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (1.4.2_03-b02) and WinXP Pro.

I loaded the Java 2 plugin and now all works fine.

Thanks.
