Automatic thumbnail format for Sorl
2011-06-29
UPDATE: now built in to sorl-thumbnail
The following sorl.thumbnail backend sets the THUMBNAIL_FORMAT automatically based on the original filename, using the THUMBNAIL_FORMAT setting if the format cannot be automatically inferred.
Usage
Place sorl_backends.py on your path, and add the following to your django settings.
THUMBNAIL_BACKEND = 'sorl_backends.AutoFormatBackend'
# Used if the format cannot be automatically inferred (eg for a .gif image)
THUMBNAIL_FORMAT = 'JPEG'
