How Can I Use Custom Image Styles as Formatters?

Reassigning. I would like to know the answer too :)

I believe that's populated by imagecache presets.

There are some Media docs explaining this, and now with added diagrams! http://drupal.org/node/1092444

You can use the code snippet mentioned last to hook in your image styles as presets.

Subscribing, the hook mentioned in #5 didn't changed the formaters list for me.

I added the hook mentioned in #5 and confirmed that it's being processed but it did not appear to do anything for me either. Subscribing.

I'm having the same issue. I don't see how I can add my own image styles...

I think #5 hook is not needed anymore. At least with last dev version of media module (april the 28th) which includes this issue #1086958: Switch from Media Entity to File Entity commit with a lot of changes to media module. In fact the styles modules is not a requirement now and you can use media without it (if you don't need any of the advanced features of styles module).
I've last media dev version and can see as formatters all file styles (the include now a file style for each image style) and image styles, so you can use them in two ways...

Sorry, my last comment was about 1.x-dev version of styles module. I don't know the status of this issue in 2.x branch.

#6, #7 I recommend reading effulgentias post regarding changes to the media module.

- Are any error messages produced?
- What version are you using?
- Have you cleared your cache?

Is there a place this is being worked on, other than this issue? I assume "create your own (self-described "ugly") custom module hook" if you want to use image styles as presets isn't meant to be the final outcome.

In fact, I'm not entirely sure why one would bother creating image styles unless one were going to use them as presets. The contexts that I usually see them appear are in views (as with the OP) and field display settings of content types -- both places where they'd need to be presets to appear.

Oops, I meant to re-open this as well. I don't see how this is fixed.

well i hope does get fixed.

Perhaps a duplicate of #1010958: Creating and applying image (or other file) styles is non-intuitive ?

Yeah, I think it probably is. I subscribed over there.

@oxyc in #12:
Sorry for the delay & thanks for the pointer, very comprehensive.

I've got no error messages, using the latest dev version of each modules. Sure I'm clearing the cache each time (my fingers are typing "drush cc all" before I'm noticing it)

By the moment and waiting for another solution, I ended to use custom theme() in views field template:

<?php 
  $file = (isset($row) && isset($row->field_field_visual[0]['rendered']['file']['#file'])) ? $row->field_field_visual[0]['rendered']['file']['#file']->uri : false;
  if ($file) print theme('image_style', array('style_name'=>'my_preset', 'path'=>  $file ));
?>

File Styles will create a new 'Preset' for each Image Style created. However, it does not currently automatically create a new File Style, and instead you need to go to admin/config/media/file-styles and add a new style from there, and select the new image style from the preset drop-down for images.

The whole thing needs some work to get it working more intuitive.

See #1010958-50: Creating and applying image (or other file) styles is non-intuitive for a sample implementation of creating an image style and hooking it up to a file style in code.

I always find this dead-end:

you need to go to admin/config/media/file-styles and add a new style from there

I don't have "file-styles" in Media

There are only these options in the d7 instances I have:

• File system
• File types
• Image styles
• Media browser settings
• Image toolkit
