How do you copy the images at full resolution

Jeff Kramer asks via Twitter.

“hi! I’m wondering if you could tell me how to make the blogger import beta copy images at full resolution?”

The answer is that the beta version already does that. If you look in your media library you will see that the images imported are actually larger than the images that are shown on the blog. It does this in two ways, firstly if your blogger images are displayed in the posts with a link to a larger size image then the import will use that larger image. Also if the images are hosted on blogger then you can get the large size by changing the URL for example if it says /S320/MyImage.jpg then the importer will change this to /S1024/MyImage.jpg to download the larger size.

The default size for the large images is 1024, you can change this to an even larger size by changing the following line in the blogger-import.php file.

const LARGE_IMAGE_SIZE = '1024';

The file downloaded won’t be bigger than the origional file so if it was only 800×600 to start with then it won’t be any bigger than that.

The other thing to note is that the size displayed in your blog will be the “Medium” size as defined in your media settings.

So if you want the display size to be larger then you should change your settings -> media to increase the size of the medium image, before you do the import

Hope this helps.
