I just had the stupidest revelation ever... - GoFuckYourself.com

Now this may seem completely obvious to all of you, but it was a brilliant discover for me just seconds ago!

You know when you're generating thumbs under "Samples" in Chameleon? Well I thought it was always dumb how there wasn't any automation for that. Cause I'd sit there for like 40 mins doing all of them manually. Then it occured to me that I could highlight all of them, and hit "Select and Crop" and then "Create Thumbs / Apply Changes" and it does it automatically!

Wow! I've wasted so much time doing it manually. I wish I had discovered this sooner.

My momma always used to tell me that because I ain't to smart I gotta work twice as hard. Sounds like you could use the same advise

Yeah maybe 20-30 mins or so. I only had to press 2 buttons about 150 times, but it was still a pain. Now it's super quick.

We all have one of those moments sooner or later with software. Like the day a Photoshop noob learn about the actions feature in it. That is a HUGE "holy shit" moment. Right up there with when I found out about Arles and up to that point had been making photo galleries by HAND! Doh!

Or when you learn you can set your FTP client to upload on a schedule... or buy software to manage your members content so you don't have to kill yourself any more with updates. All good times.

sicone · 07-20-2005, 11:32 PM

Well, now you know

and knowing is half the battle
