Summary: Thumbnail creation of animated images
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Images
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When using animated gifs on a wiki the MediaWiki software tries to create
thumbnails of the images resulting in server timeouts when the maximum php
execution time is reached.
For example when you try to upload a duplicate of an animation and the
duplicate warning is shown on the upload page, the software tries to create the
thumbnail and it is possible that only a white page is shown when the server
stops. So you have no chance to complete the upload of the image in that case.
The same problem comes up when you go to [[Special:NewImages]] and the software
tries to create thumbnails for all displayed images that need a thumbnail.
Would it be possible to prevent that or do the thumbnail creation for large
images in a different way (maybe per cron job)?
