BlogEngine.NET image manipulation enhancements
I created a patch for BlogEngine.NET which enables you to crop & resize image while being uploaded. And not only that. You can now easily insert any previously uploaded image with the new image browser.
Image Browser
New image upload with cropping & resizing
Works only with JPEG images. Cropping is not supported in IE8.
Installation
Download & unpack it and then upload it to your BlogEngine.NET directory. You need to overwrite Add_entry.aspx and Add_entry.aspx.cs files.
Final notes
This extension works only for posts, not pages. The code is partly based on Upload and Crop Images with jQuery, JCrop and ASP.NET article. If you have any problems, please let me know.

Wow this looks really good, something that should nearly be included in the default install

yes, this is a wonderful extension and must include in the next version of blogengine by default. btw, looks like something wrong with the download link.

I like this a lot, but I noticed two drawbacks: 1. the resized images end up looking a little compressed (could there be a way to change the compression settings?) and 2. once you add one image to a post, you can’t add any other images – the function breaks and clicking “browse” does nothing. Any ideas for tweaking?
