C. Scott Ananian <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from C. Scott Ananian <[email protected]> --- Hm. This behavior is pretty fundamental to the way mediawiki handles scaling. It names thumbnails using only the width. it can't distinguish between the 453x599px image caused by requesting "width=453px" and the 453x600px image which you want to result from "height=600px". They would both have the same filename: 453px-Foobar.jpg". I don't think this bug is related to bug 25989 at all, nor is it strictly related to the square bounding box RFC. Fixing the issue would require (at least) adding the height to the thumbnail filename. You'd also have to worry about the storage issues involved with storing (for example) both a 453x599 and a 453x600 version of the same image. One current proposal is to drastically limit the number of 'standard' thumbnail sizes (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Standardized_thumbnails_sizes). I do agree that it would be best if "square bounding boxes" (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Square_bounding_boxes) actually resulted in exactly the requested height, as this bug requests. But neither issue strictly depends on the other. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
