Right folder for image-ftp-upload

[muelli1975]

Hi, does it make any difference which folder I use if I upload my images manually via ftp? I would use "original" and ask myself, if any of the folders is "reserved" for special tasks. Btw. I recognised that the ending .jpg is changed to .jpeg. Is there a reason behind it (MIME-Types etc.)?

Best regards and thank you for your great work!

Hi Christoph,

if you upload images with typemill, then it stores the original and some resized versions for production:

• folder "original" => original image
• folder "thumbs" => thumbnails used in the media library
• folder "live" => used for production

Images are resized according to the width that is set in the system settings (820px width by default).

tbh I don't remember a propper workflow for manual image uploads, does it work that way for you?

Hi,

sorry for the delay and thank you for the reply! Okay, so if I upload an image to "original" via ftp, will it be resized automatically? I do all my image editing (rezizing to 820 px) before I upload the files. So does it make any sense to use the predefined folders, or should I just make an "images" folder if I don't use the media library? And should I use *.jpeg as ending for any reason?

Thank you and regards!
