Versatility to choose path and/or create new folder for images ( at least for administrator)
Any content type could have a different path for images and own thumbs (10.000 and more images in a folder is not the best).
Many extensions ask for a specific folder (slideshow etc), could be great to load directly images in a specific folder.73 votesstarted ·

Image resize with crop
Resize (enlarge or downsize) image to definied size. Keep ratio, fill size completely and then center image and crop if image is to large in width or hight. This way image always has same size in layout.

With the grace of time we will be looking at creating a Image gallery field type. I.e. one field for adding multiple images with settings like max. number of images etc.

Load an image from the server in the submission form
This could be used to provide an option for set Avatars or optional custom uploads. A second button 'browse on server' or something like it. Default settings would include the folder setting.

Conditional formfields
It would be very useful with conditional formfields with different subformfields being showed depending on the answer in the main field. This would be very good way to handle the databaselookup-formfield when you have a large amount of alternatives in the answer. By using a condition you could easly divide these answers to groups depending on the first field.

Repeatble field
It would be useful to have a repeatable field. For ex. image field (album).

Square Crop Image
I think it's time to implement this in form2content. Resizing image is a nightmare for client and designer for keeping the site consistent. this should be easy for you guys, read this.

Search by Author
It would be a really great feature to be able to search articles by Author (Non drop down, but rather be able to type up there user name) in the advance search area.

Sounds very reasonable ;)

Disallow editing
Give each field the option to disallow editing. if(isset or if(!empty than grey-out and disallow editing. useful for various reasons (gender, pass-id,prevent abuse,...)
10 votesIt’s already (partly) there since you can set the fields to show/hide in the front-end, thus prevent users changing data to some fields. …..

Import
Irmport (and maybe Export?) of data. I have a situation with 50 U.S. States plus D.C., and each has 15 fields, so about 750 items total. The arrangement is typical database, one row per state. From a database perspective, I like the normalization of the data, but it makes import a little tough. At the moment, I am working on some code to denormalize my data for import.
