[pmwiki-users] WikiGallery: alternatives to phpThumbs?

[Stefan Schimanski]

Take a look at the latest svn version. I implemented some very simple
thumbnail function, which doesn't need phpthumb anymore. It call
ImageMagick's convert for now, GD will come later probably. See in the
release note section of the recipe for a short intro how to enable it.
