API changed? about pyuploadcare

[valyagolev]

Hi,

Sorry, this is due to migration to the new resizing engine. We'll update the API ASAP

[dmitry-mukhin]

hey,

sorry for long delay.
you can add /stretch/off/ to cdn url now to turn off stretching.

i.e. https://ucarecdn.com/<uuid>/-/stretch/off/-/resize/500x300/

[dmitry-mukhin]

please close the ticket if it suits you

[slafs]

Yup. That did the trick. You should however alter the README "Using it..." sections or rewrite the resized and cropped functions. It's confusing when in README one can read "make your life easier..." by using those methods or template helpers and then realize that they're deprecated.
Cheers

Hi, yeah, we didn't make up our minds about these yet, thank you for reminding!

[slafs]

about disabling stretching... there's some inconsistent behavior with this option. It works for smaller images. But when my image is bigger doing a stretch/off doesn't seem to do anything.

So... having /-/stretch/off/-/resize/500x300/ for a bigger image (than 500x300) gives the same result as /-/resize/500x300/. I've workaround this by doing this instead /-/stretch/off/-/resize/500x/-/resize/x300/.

[valyagolev]

Wow, this is weird. Sorry, we'll investigate.

[valyagolev]

Hey, I'm trying to understand the issue you're talking about.

/stretch/ is just to disable stretching in case when the requested size is bigger than the actual one. Probably, you want an option to preserve proportions, do you? Or not? Can you give me example of what you want (even without image, just actual sizes and the sizes you want to get will suffice)?

[slafs]

sure. check out this image. It's 512 x 682. When You do /-/stretch/off/-/resize/500x300/ the picture actually gets... stretched ;). But you're right, the preserve proportions can be what I'm looking for. But the above workaround also works.

[valyagolev]

Oh, yes:

resize (/resize/:one_or_two_dimensions/): Resizes an images to the specified dimensions. If only one of them is specified, resizes proportionally to this one. Examples:

I should've probably stressed more that if you specify 2 dimensions it does not care about proportions.

Let's see. Maybe you want https://ucarecdn.com/b20e8a04-3574-49bb-a3e7-da0c38b96068/-/scale_crop/500x300/center/ ? Or you want an image which is not cropped, exactly or less than 500x300 and with original proportions?

Or you want an image which is not cropped, exactly or less than 500x300 and with original proportions?

Yes. That's exactly what I want.

[valyagolev]

Okay, probably we'll need another action for that, like -/fit/500x300/.

[dmitry-mukhin]

@homm do we have already something for this?

[homm]

/preview/500x300/ should be used for this.
