The popular FieldFrame fieldtype, nGen File Field, has finally reached its 1.0 release. Included in the release are bug fixes, improvements and a few new features:

New feature: Hide existing file option

New feature: Use/create low resolution thumbnails (lower memory usage). Found in FieldType Manager/FieldFrame settings.

New feature: Respects upload location maximum image dimensions

General speed/performance improvements

The new low resolution thumbnails feature is nice to see. I’ve had a few instances where the fieldtype used up the allotted PHP memory.

nGen File Field works on EE 1.6, is free and available now.
