Econa custom field plugin -> sizes gone after update

Hi!

After updating to Econa 1.8.0 the images sizes in the econa fields (custom fields plugin) are gone! All sizes are set to 300 with no name and identifier.

Is there a way to restore those settings?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

When we open a econa field we see empty values, even when we have not saved it. So where can we see the settings that have been used before so we can put them in t the settings again?

I do understand we can try to figure the settings out by checking the actual images. But that would take some work for all our sites.

There was no way to convert those values somehow on update of Econa?

We have 37 sites that have Econa installed. The image size settings are not the same on every site. So if you can help us out with a migration message that would really be appreciated!

OK, thanks! Yes we manage about 110 sites for our client at this point. We use econa for most sites that regularly produce (news) content because it makes it a lot easier for site managers to upload and scale images fast. We mainly use the Econa article custom field plugin for this.

On most sites we get the custom field value (json) from the econa image site and the create our own 'view' output in our (custom) templates. I think the WebP images are only shown/used when we use the default layout econa uses when showing the images in the custom fields area on top or below the image?

Are WebP images supported widely?
Are images stored as WebP images by default now? Unless we turn this of I guess?. And they are also stored in the sizes set in the custom field settings? And then also JPG files as fallback?

So when we have WebP enabled (even when we don't use them) there will be more storage needed for every image we save?

I will have a look at the WebP support and setup so we can use this in our templates as well. Haven't gotten around to figuring that out yet. Mainly because of the support for WebP so far.

Maybe it would be better to create a new ticket for this, but since we are here...

I do see the webP images in the econa folder. So I guess they are generated when this option is set to 'yes' in the plugin. When we are not going to use the webP images we should disable this in the settings to avoid unnecessary disk space. Or maybe we should just save them already for future use...

When we do want to use webP images, is there a way to also generate those versions for images already created by econa (custom field plugin)? Or will the only be saved when we open and resave an article? (And have the Webp option enabled) Or will the only be stored when a new image is uploaded?

I do think the fallback for webP will also work when the webP image is not available? Or should we check for an existing webP before we use the webP in our template?

I can confirm that the development version of the econa extension \reads' the exsisting file sizes and saves them after saving the plugin. So that saves us a lot of work.

Thanks Lefteris for your quick support!

Kind regards,
