About Image Plugin

Drop an image onto the Factory to create an image plugin. On drop an image plugin editor will open.

Sizing and Editing

Images will be resized to fit within a 1080p (1920x1080) frame. If the image contains location meta data, the location will be saved in the image plugin.

Any meta data the image contains will be lost as part of this resize _**N.B.** This will **NOT** happen if the image is already small enough._

The image editor, as well as editing the image caption and location, is used to switch between half and full width image.

Location, latitude/longitude, can be edited individually, or by copying the position separated by either `/` or `,` and pasting it into either field.

# Image Storage

Images are given a unique name and stored as a file, linked from two places using hard links, a farm based image 'commons' directory, and an image plugin asset directory. This means that there will only be a single copy of the image stored with in a wiki farm, with hard links from each wiki that has a copy.

Flag in corner of image, clicking forks the image to the current wiki.

When a page is forked, the plugin will use the page history to find the image if its not available locally to the page. Hovering over an image that is not available locally will display the flag, of the wiki where it was found, in the lower right corner of the image. Clicking on this flag will copy the image to the local wiki.
