But I have another related problem. don't really care if the thumbnail is current, or at least I don't want the default image to show if there is a cached version available on my server already. I would rather have an old screenshot than the defalt image. Does anyone have code to do this in the cache file. Ps: I'm using a branched version of the caching script quibuz on "how to handle duration time / queue with API" http://www.i-ssential.de/thumbalizr-forum/topic.php?id=27&page#post-74 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:56:28 +0000 quibuz 74@http://www.i-ssential.de/thumbalizr-forum/ Hello, i've got a question about the API. i want my webapplication to request an image while using the API. The requested image should then be saved in a folder on the server. While using the your index-code (status = OK || status = LOCAL) this is no problem. The problem is that often, generating an image takes some time and therefore status = QUEUE. Array ( [URL] => <a href="http://www.etcetcetc.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.etcetcetc.com</a> [Generated] => Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:58:51 GMT [Status] => QUEUED ) At this point, the image isn't created in the cache dir and therefor can't be saved. Can you give me some advice how to handle the QUEUE and save the image some time later?
