[Plugin] Upload model with custom thumbnail — 12.01.2013

[Aerilius]

This plugin allows to choose your own thumbnail image for models shared on Trimble 3D Warehouse. It is mostly intended for people who have not yet been able to upload correct thumbnails due to technical issues.

The plugin gives two options:
1. to upload a image (up to 400x300 or 500x300) of your choice from the file dialog
File → Upload model with custom thumbnail → Choose an image file

2. to keep the exact same thumbnail that the previous version of the model has in 3D Warehouse (this requires wget on your system).
File → Upload model with custom thumbnail → Keep the current 3D Warehouse thumbnail

What a cool plugin, Aerilius!

I guess many people in the Warehouse will hate you though. From now on, no-one can trust that what we see is what we get.

---

If I could have a suggestion however... Currently there are two, top-level entries in the Plugin menu for this plugin. Could you arrange them into one main entry and two submenu items? Like many, I also struggle with a too long list of plugins (even that I have disabled many that I do not use ATM).

@66searcher:
I hope you don't take it amiss .
It was not meant as a plugin for everyone but only for those people who couldn't use 3d warehouse before (in the other Google Help Forum). It now allows them to have thumbnails of their actual models, because there occured technical problems where all thumbnails were black.

I agree that I don't like when people have images of something else, but it has always been possible to upload as "kmz" and then choose any image/photo as thumbnail.

i appreciate you and i understand that your plugin is helpful...thanks.
and also i hope everyone use it in right way.not in the way that Gaieus show us !

I also agree that it should be used with care... However even nowadays some people upload the files with an image or something in front of the camera and when you download it, you realize that what you got is not what you expected from the thumbnail image. Nevertheless the 3D view will always reveal the true model before downloading.

@Aerilius, could you consider this small FR above?

(I know I should be able to edit/modify your plugin but I am not sure how - without screwing it up...)

Hi there, what is proper size of 3D Warehouse window, please? I tried to uploud several images, but never wass filled whole window...

Thanks

[Gaieus]

They want max. 800x600 images there (I think). That's a 4:3 aspect ratio (that is certain) image and will be reduced a bit but fill the window vertically. It will never fill the window horizontally though (neither do the images automatically generated by the WH software).

[Aerilius]

I uploaded a new version with support for Unicode file names.
