debugging probs with large files @ thumbnailer

edited August 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Hi,

been messing all day long with a nagging problem:
Thumbnailer passes out if throw more than one ~2mb pic on it. Basically right now the only way to go for me is to select one pic at a time to be worked on. It seems to be related to some memory issue, however i can't resolve it.. as you can see below all relevant values are well above what one would consider "enough", but still..

What i tried so far:
- checked if any pics were broken or cmyk
- played around with NOT including icc profiles, or setting resolution to 72dpi (originals are 3542x4724px, 300dpi)
- tweaked my php.ini* by increasing all involved parameters..

I'm clueless.. can anyone help me? thx..

cheers,
jan

    It's a known issue in GD2. I think there's a workaround, but I don't remember how.
  • Hi,

    i finally resolved the issue.. or part of it: Forget those phpinfo values above, cause actually the server limits power/script-time ..
    in above case it's only 13mb memory, 8s CPU time, 90s script time. bummer.. ;-/

    However this leads to another thought: Why not segment the thumbnailer actions.. wouldn't that be possible somehow?
    That would make filebrowser way more usable on accounts which aren't top notch memory/scripttime-wise.

    In the mean time i'm considering to write an extension to my upload page, so every single pic gets immediately thumbed once uploaded..
    alas that's just a workaround..

    greets,
    Jan
  • Jeandeluxe - I'm having the same problem (on files over about 600k), and wondered what steps I could take to resolve the issue, as you have done.

    Many thanks,
    Paul
  • Does anybody have a workaround for large files?
