Hi all!

It has been a long while since we updated these upload and crop scripts and I think it’s time we get some features down and released in the next version. So please leave your feature requests in the comments below and we will do our best to include as many of them as possible in the next release(s).

These requests can be from ability to save to database to renaming images on upload etc. If we can get a good collection going perhaps we can release the plugin in a number of flavours (so to speak) that would cater to most solutions.

Look forward to seeing what you guys have in mind!

jQTouch is a jQuery plugin for mobile web development on forward-thinking devices. You can create powerful mobile apps with just HTML, CSS, and jQuery. It supports native animations, automatic navigation, and themes for mobile WebKit browsers like iPhone, G1, and Pre.

jQTouch requires one basic theme to make page transitions work which is very small. One could use just the core CSS file to build a completely custom UI. Themes are additional CSS files which provide native-looking styles, mostly centered around the iPhone OS. Themes included are: Apple, jQT and Vanilla.

Currently, there are two commonly used techniques on displaying columns, the fixed columns and the liquid columns. With fixed columns, there will be certain viewport resolutions, where it leaves excess white space where a column was just not able to squeeze in. The downside of liquid columns is that we are restricted to having a fixed number of columns per row.

SohTanaka has thought of a solution: Smart Columns with CSS & jQuery would be able to benefit the situations is to take the good of both scenarios and mash it into one. Allow as many fixed columns to line up across the viewport. Take excess white space and evenly distribute them to each of the columns to complete the full row. This way the columns will always fit perfectly.

And also, It keeps a default fixed width as the base, so that the columns are reasonably within the intended columns sizes while maintaining enough flexibility to accommodate for the expandable viewport.
