[Koha-devel] Item Type Images have various sizes

[Michael Hafen]

I'll agree with you.  Thinking about it again 6 seconds is pretty bad.

I don't know how the authorized_values or icon sets are laid out in the
database.  I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to add the dimensions to the
authorized_values.  As I recall those are structure something like MARC,
so just give some subfield to the dimensions.  Having it stored with the
iconset would be good too, but I don't know if or where that is in the
database.

My idea in the beginning was something to this effect.  I don't really
feel like trying to figure out authorized values right now, but I will
look to see if iconsets are kept in the database somewhere other than
that.
