I can't remember whether the following observation cropped
up in the maximum-URL-length discussion. It may save some
head-scratching for some of you some time.
I've found that JPEGs in rather deeply nested directories
weren't displaying after converting. It's a URL-length limit
rather than going "too deep". Below shows how far (or long)
I've been able to go -- it roughly corresponds to all but the
file-extension showing in the URL-box on a 640-wide screen.
file:C:\a2345678\b2345678\c2345678\d2345678\e\12345678.jpg
Go beyond this limit and the conversions in cache will have
their names truncated: BlahBlah.bm then BlahBlah.b then
BlahBlah then BlahBla "et seq". The conversions will display
OK if re-named, but on other occasions they've been distorted
-- I've not really looked into this.
Another point re: JPEG conversions. I often add a single
pixel gray border, or a 3-pixel gray-white-gray border
to JPEGs of photos. Arachne removes a pixel-wide slice
from the top and right-hand sides, which in these instances
is quite noticeable. Maybe the cause of the hyper-accurate
postioning problem that Clarence has been up against?
(mentioned at Arachne Quick Chat).
The conversions in Cache are fine though. I display them in
the Image Gallery and F4 to edit Galery.dgi so bgcolor=white
and text=black, and the single-pixel borders are all present
and correct.
