This afternoon I had few free time so I added a new feature:
You can now point on the picture where the car is, which will make a frame appear. Example:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=235976
This can be done on the vehicle edit page: there is a new field "Car location", which has to contain the coordinates of the centre of the frame. You can get these coordinates easily by clicking on the link "Select on picture": picture of the vehicle is shown and if you click on a position on it, its coordinates are stored in the field.
When the mouse cursor is over the picture, the frame is hidden. It allows to see the picture without the frame, I guess it is better?
For the moment it is used only on vehicle page, but in a near future I will also use that for generating thumbnails.
To take again the example of the car linked above, it is not very visible on the thumbnail :
http://www.imcdb.org/thumbnail.php?pic=235-976.jpg
but using the info "where is the car", the site could generate a thumbnail where more of the top of the picture is cut, and keeping the full lower part of the picture, as the car is located in it.
Note that this is NOT a reason for posting more background vehicles
It is just to avoid arrows or circles on the pictures, or "useless" comments.
Also do not use it when it is very obvious which vehicle is concerned, e.g. if the image is for the most visible vehicle.
