Hello,
It's time for me to upgrade my online web site to version 5 and as I have a number of images.
I would like to know what are the three recommended size dimensions used so that I can create a script or use http://www.faststone.org/ (http://www.faststone.org/) to resize them.
I have already upgraded from 2009.3 on my local server but want to avoid uploading all the images one by one.
Thanks

I don't know if you want something custom but an Elxis update does not affects content images. The sizes of the images are controlled by the component Content parameters. In the latest release of Elxis 5.4 the default image width for small and medium images changed to:
Small image width (thumbnail): 240px (it was 120px before Elxis 5.4 rev 2517).
Medium image width: 480px (it was 320px before Elxis 5.4 rev 2517).
Full image: No resize
Note: Height is calculated automatically by keeping the original image ratio. If you upgrade from previous version edit component content parameters and change images width.
Example
I upload an image of 1000 x 600 pixels (WxH)
Elxis will generate these images:
medium image: 480x288
small image: 240x144
Tip: Use IrfanView for creating the images. It is super fast and can do that easily.
Place all the images in a folder and Irfanview can generate thumbnails from them in the dimensions you want with 1 click.
IrfanView > File > Batch conversion/Rename
