They ran fine because they were served unscaled however large or small they were. Now they are being scaled, and so some of them are causing problems. Well, problems more noticeable than filesize and image quality.

We're considering options for how to handle the instance where a file is large enough that scaling it will consume a dangerous amount of memory. Currently we just show a useless error; options suggested have included "show a more helpful error"; serving a static image which links to the full file at full file*size*; and serving the whole file unscaled and letting the browser hack at it. Whichever method is chosen, the scaling limit should be checked at upload so that these issues are not encountered in new files. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
