Please find attached a version of gift-add-collection.pre-pl that
implements these ideas. There are now options:
--no-thumbnails: prevents thumbnails from being generated, and by
default causes the thumbnail-url-postfix to be suppressed
--fake-thumbnails: implies --no-thumbnails w.r.t. thumbnail generation,
but causes the same URL as in the url-postfix attribute to be used for
the thumbnail-url-postfix attribute.
Both have been set up so that they can be set in the
.gift-add-collection file with lines like:
fake-thumbnails="1"
I have tested these using my client, and they work as expected - there
seems not to be any problems on the server side.
I would be glad if someone using another client could test before I
commit it.
Cheers,
David
PS. Jonas, simply using '--fake-thumbnails' should do what you want.
