extended Image Naming Convention

[horst]

Hi, I have experimented with naming of images.

For people who want try out different settings with images, the current naming scheme isn't of good usage.

I have added some code to the Pageimage::size method, Pageimage::isVariation, and to the Imagesizer to make it work like here:

http://images.pw.nogajski.de/new-naming-convention/

It is open for discussion

---

Additional to that I like to implement a new temporary option on a per image base to force recreation of the requested image also if a cached version is available. I don't like to use all the time $image->removeVariations().

What is a useful option name for that?

• forcenew
• recreate
• forcecreate
• forcerecreate
• ...?

$options = array(
    'cropping' => true,
    'quality' => 80,
    'forcenew' => true
    );
$img = $image->size(120, 160, $options);

---

And for the naming convention I am unsure if a short custom appendix should be enabled too, or if this would be to much?

$options = array(
    'cropping' => true,
    'quality' => 80,
    'remove_variations' => true
    );

?

@Martijn: no, thats confusing. With this option I want to keep all variations, but want to recreate only this single image.
