Legacy Slider suggestion for next version.

[IcEWoLF]

Hi there, I have a minor suggestion, users should be able to determine which image they want to show on the slider if there are multiple image contents on the post.

See this post: The 47 Ronin Gaming Community now hits 50,000 posts!

I want the fireworks gif to show, but unfortunately the other image shows.

This happens if I were to upload the other image afterwards but can't change the original image to appear on the slider instead of the old image.

Also another suggestion on a seperate note is to retain the best quality for the images, bloated images look really bad. :/

I plan on having a custom BBCode that users can use to select which image appears in the slider. If that custom BBCode isn't present in the first post of a thread, then it will default to the current options in the ACP.

As far as retaining image quality, I am working on it. In the next version, I have the ability for the image to be resized by the height instead of the width, which will help some. There are a couple of downsides, of which it applies to ALL to the images, not just a select few, and some of the new transitions can look wierd, as you will see parts of each image during the transition if they aren't the same size. Unfortunately, I haven't messed with trying not to reize images if they are smaller than all slider dimensions, in which case they currently get resized to fit either the height or width, which results in the image quality going down. I will look into figuring out how to not resize, but then there will be the wierd transition issue with some of the new transitions.
