J-BusinessDirectory - Request to add 'Projects' to packages + image cropping on upload

'Projects' is a really useful feature for a businesses portfoilio, but please can it be added to packages as an option. Projects is an advanced feature really and I feel it would make sense (and add value to paid packages) for the feature to be able to be set for certain packages.

Also, imo, it needs a cropping feature on the image upload (so as to enforce correct aspect ratio), as other wise portrait images (or other non standard aspect ratios) don't display properly in the nice gallery viewer.

Btw, I don't follow the purpose of the 'Upload all' button on the image uploader, as images seem to be uploaded the instant they are added anyway?

Extra note: Also, the file names remain the same as the user uploads, which is always risky imo - as can breach privacy, etc. Is much better how images are renamed when cropped.

I don't know if the image names are unchanged for all galleries within JBD, but I believe it's a good deal for SEO issues. However, passing this on to the end user is a problem because it should be explained about SEO and how the image name affects it. Another issue you mentioned is privacy, an important issue.
I think automating this in the near future would be very useful, generate image names to NomeBusiness-Type-CityOrRegion.Extension.

Edit: I didn't see it for the 'projects', but in the company's general gallery it has the name changed. It's just not good for SEO when "cropped image etc" is generated

Thank you Gabriel, I follow what you mean about SEO and a naming convention you suggest does sound a good idea.

For ref, I just checked this and on my install, the image names as uploaded by the business user, stay as they are.

Hi,

"Btw, I don't follow the purpose of the 'Upload all' button on the image uploader, as images seem to be uploaded the instant they are added anyway?"
This will be remove in the 5.6.0 version.

We are already considering to change the image name to something more usefull.

We will add projects as package feature as well.
