Hi everyone,
 
At first I want to say thanks for all the great ideas and
recommendations I've been receiving. Subscribing to the list made me
more excited with TMS and grateful, knowing that I'm not the only one
struggling and having to reinvent the wheel.
 
What I wanted to know is, when loading the media files in TMS, what
resolution are you using?, what is recommended. Right now I'm using a
Sony digital camera 4.1 megapixel. The pictures I take the imagesize is
1600x1200. With te possibilitie of even bigger to 2272x1704 in JPEG.
Then I download them on the Imagedrive in a temporary folder, where they
get a new filename. What I am doing is give them a filename same as the
objectnumber with an extension -1, -2, -3.  Right now I'm thinking about
Dave's experience with this way of filing the images. We may have to
change it, and use another filesystem [anyone with more experience on
this matter?] Putting all the images on a CD is an idea to seriously
consider. Now how high is the resolution you are using?
Another thing we are considering is to put in front of the object a Coin
or a Measure, to give an idea of the dimensions of the object, I
personally don't think it looks nice on the picture [any suggestions?].
Media module. Help with the 'child rendition'. I still don't get it how
it's done, and how it will be displayed.
