No bug Preview Images are blurred

Hi Helmut,

the preview image size is 290 x 170, but it is 'stretched' to fit in a 290 x 290 container.

because the height is smaller (170) then the container height (290) the image gets stretched. You can try to set the preview width to 500, that way the height will be around 290 and the image doesn't need to be stretched (and as such will not look blurred).

Can you five that a try?

Hi Ruud,
i tested this but it doesn't work - the images are still blurred.
And - additionally - the 500px doesn't fit our needs (looks not good in our layout).

Best regards
Helmut

Hi Helmut,

that is due to the boxed layout: that sets the preview width on the image element: in your case now to 500 > this makes the height to be agin strecthed from 290 to 500 > that will be blurred.

So there are two things you can do here: do not use the boxed layout but e.g. the flexbox layout: that will set the preview widt but it will not set the height and as such the image is not stretched,

of if you want the boxe layout you can do a template override for it:
in file gallery_boxed.php you can change line


to (e.g.)


that way the 500px preview image will be displayed in a 290 x 290 box and then there is no need to stretch as the height of the image is appr. 290px

Note that this will then be 'fixed' size also for other boxed galleries

Hello Ruud,
thanks for the workaround. For now - this works

Best regards

Thanks for reporting back Helmut.
Good to hear (and see) that it worked out!
