The Max Image Width plugin provides to basic pieces of functionality:
-
It improves the user interface provided to users for choosing the size of the thumbnail they want to use in a post upon uploading a new image.
-
It allows administrators to set and enforce a maximum image width for images that can be inserted.
The plugin was originally born out of a need of a blog network whose bloggers were consistently inserting images into a post, but were creating thumbnails that were too large for the given layout. As a result layouts could break, or a portion of the image was obscured by other page elements.
- Movable Type 5.x, 6.x
- Movable Type 4.x compatibility with version 1.0.0.

This plugin is configured at the website or blog level, at Tools > Plugins > Max Image Width, where the maximum image width can be specified. If this field is left blank then the thumbnail size is unrestricted.
When inserting an image asset, in the File Options popup, a slider will appear that can be dragged to the desired image size. Thumbnail proportions are maintained to create the proper thumbnail image.
This plugin is licensed under the same terms as Perl itself.
