--- Comment #7 from Greg L <greg_l_at_wikipe...@comcast.net> 2010-04-06 20:47:27 UTC --- Derk, is that supposed to be a permanent fix? Quoting Robert: “For items like that, where the full file size is actually very small, we should probably just send the whole image to the browser and let the browser handle it as is.” Indeed. Let’s look at that. If Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari—which has a bug of its own with Wikipedia’s animated GIFS (I’ve alerted Apple about it)—can scale a 398 KB GIF, let the browser handle it. That’s just my 2¢ as a non-developer. I might also openly wonder just how many animated GIFs there are that fall in this category. If the thumbnailing only requires a couple of gigabytes ($100) of server space, is it worth the fuss? Is there a compelling reason to not restore the previous functioning until a wall-to-wall technical solution is identified and implemented in one fell-swoop? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
