[AppDB] new screenshot and image classes

[Jonathan Ernst]

Hi Chris,

What I wanted to tell you on the channel was to discard the patch named:

[AppDb] screenshot and image class

Because we discussed it with Paul and I was able to make a new one using
his image class code and I used these classes everywhere on the code.

The new screenshot code is much better. We'll have to make a script to
go trough every old screenshot and create the thumbnails. Before I do
the script, please check if the watermarking is nice enough or if we
want another logo.

The name of the mail containing the new screenshot code is:

[AppDB] new screenshot and image classes

It is required to create the thumbnails subdirectories in order for the
scripts to work.

- data/screenshots/thumbnails/
- data/queued/screenshots/thumbnails/

See you.

Before we apply this we should decide if we want a logo on top of our
full images. (Some input from non appdb workers would be nice). Right
now that would be this image:
http://appdb.winehq.org/images/winehq_top_logo.png

This would be positioned in the bottom right corner of all images. Do
we want use this image. Or not any image at all. Maybe some text.

The live server doesn't have GD, can you do something about it Paul
(imagemagick or GD 1.x) ?

If yes, can you resend when fixed:

I'd gladly do it myself but I think you are much more experienced than
me regarding image manipulation.

FYI Here is the IRC log:

(23:15:49) laxdragon: jernst: no joy, in order to support GD 2.0, I will
need to rebuild php. I'm not willing to do that at the moment.
(23:16:17) laxdragon: damn red hat 9 is soooo out of date.
(23:33:02) jernst: laxdragon: to rebuild php I just do emerge php ;-). 
(23:33:18) jernst: laxdragon: so what's the solution now ? do we use
crappy resizing functions ?
(23:33:25) jernst: laxdragon: do you have imagemagick instead ?
(23:34:10) laxdragon: jernst: if this were debian it wouldn't have been
a problem ayway. We set this up with Red Hat back when we though using a
red hat support contract was a good idea.
(23:34:29) laxdragon: jernst: yes, that is installed.
(23:35:04) jernst: laxdragon: when you say you don't want to make that
at the moment, it means you won't do it anytime soon ? Or you mean
you'll do it later this month ?
(23:35:51) laxdragon: jernst: I have plans to swith the server over to
debian, but until then, I'm not doing any major changes on that box.
(23:36:07) jernst: laxdragon: ok I'll ask Polleke if he can rewrite his
image functions using either GD 1 or imagemagick
(23:36:12) laxdragon: this is why I want WineHQ on its own box, I don't
have time to do this right now.
(23:36:43) laxdragon: if it didn't effect the codeweavers site, I
wouldn't care.
