Presales for Products / Image Size, Permissions, and Updates questions
« on: June 18, 2007, 01:56:15 pm »
Ok, so I'm still working on evaluating a couple of galleries for my site and SMF Gallery is definately in the running. I do have a couple of questions though.
1. Are there intermediate image sizes, or just the thumbnail and the full version?
2. When resizing images if I set a limit of 1024 for h or w, am I to understand that an image uploaded at 2000x2000 would be resized automatically to 1024x1024? Is the original image retained? (sorry two questions I know)
3. Can different vieweing permissions be set for sub categories, or any category for that matter?
4. Are permissions based on user group only, or can you have special user privledges? i.e. I have a user in a group that normally can't view a given category, but I want to give one user only permission to view that category.
5. Finally, I understand that the pricing is currently set at $50/yr. If I decide that version X has all of the features that I want, but a bug has been patched in a newer version, will I be forced to spend $50 again if it has been more than a year to get the bug fixed? Or will there be updates on previous versions to patch holes and get rid of bugs?
Thank you in advance for answering my questions as best as possible.
So far, I really enjoy the ease of using the lite version and just need a little bit more power.
