    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1765?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12707820#action_12707820 ] 

David Johnson commented on ROL-1765:
------------------------------------

I ran the latest code in the Media Blogging branch as of today. Overall, the code looks very good and the features are in place. I've got some suggested improvements and the UI could use a little pretty-up work, but there is no reason not to move this work over to the trunk so we can polish it up for a 5.0 release. 

Improvements
   * Should store media-files on disk with three letter extension
   * Should maintain original aspect ratio when resizing images for thumbnails
   * Should maintain original aspect ratio when user sets image width and height
   * When Attaching uploaded file, should initially show search results on type image
   * After editing a media file, should update title if it changed
   * Insert button doesn't really stand out, wasn't clear how this page worked at first
   * Like rest of Rollerc, new UI needs some work to make it aesthetically pleasing

One suggested RFE: better bandwidth and UI via true thumbnails
   * Store real thumbnails instead of resizing image in browser
   * Create and store small, medium and large thumbnails on disk for each media file
   * Small for view media page. Allow users to choose a size when linking to image
   * Add media from URL should save metadata for image and store thumbnail
