Rick Root notified the CFTalk list today that his free web based file manager and manipulation wizard is now available in beta (0.95b) from http://www.webworksllc.com/cffm . The wizard allows multiple concurrent file uploads, and image manipulation such as resizing, rotating, and scaling. There is also a demo online to try for yourself.

I've recently been interested in finding a good solution for image uploading and manipulation. Other solutions for CFMX that I've found include:

ColdFusion component: tmt_img 2.0 (free)
Alagad Image Component ($50)

I highly recommend the Alagad Image Component. It`s incredibly easy to work with and has a good number of features. The interface is pretty intuitive. The price is also extremely reasonable. I say this because I`ve tried most of the rest. They are either very limited in features, very expensive, or just impossible to install and use.

Hey thanks for the mention.

CFFM 1.11 has been released.

I found out that the image.cfc I implemented, which was written by Jim Dew, only handles jpeg images. I can`t seem to get it to work with png`s and java has no built in functionality to write gif files.

Alagad is a good product and is more feature rich, but of course cffm is free so I can`t include it ;)

I`d like to add new name to the list: CKFinder ($59).
Project website: [a href="http://www.ckfinder.com." target="_blank"]http://www.ckfinder.com.[/a]
It is a powerful and easy to use Ajax file manager for web browsers. It can be instantly integrated with FCKeditor. Full source code is included for the server side integration

Thanks for the link to CKFinder. What versions of ColdFusion are required to use this AJAX based file explorer, and if CF8 is supported does it take advantage of any of the new CF8 built-in AJAX features?

Thanks for reply.

Actually, CKFinder does not use any of the AJAX features introduced in Scorpio. The java script engine is completely universal, that`s why it was possible for us to create CKFinder for other server languages. CKFinder sends commands to the server using GET requests and the server connector execute the command and sends back a XML response. This way you can alter the CKFinder functionality quite easily. For example if you want to store uploaded files in database, just modify a couple of CFCs in CommandHandler directory.
CKFinder works with ColdFusion 6.1+, has been tested also on BlueDragon 7.0. Some parts of the CKFinder engine take advantage of the new ColdFusion features: for example the new cfimage tag is used to create thumnbails in CF8.
