--- Comment #7 from Daren Welsh <[email protected]> --- I think we're using GD. We have $wgUseImageMagick = false. I think I understand your points about GD and the associated increased memory use. I've noticed that I can increase that value. While I'm not sure how far I can safely increase that value without impacting the server, the question about the $wgMaxImageArea parameter remains: Why am I able to upload an image with pixel count in excess of that value? Upon further investigation, I discovered that the $wgMaxImageArea was actually set to a higher value in another custom settings file referenced from LocalSettings. Once I found that, I commented it out and refreshed the large image page. The result is that the scaled image preview is gone and replaced with the message "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters". If I uncomment that line to increase $wgMaxImageArea, the scaled image preview appears again. So what I think this is telling me is that the $wgMaxImageArea value does not control a max size value of an image that is allowed to be uploaded, but rather a max size of an image that will be scaled. Is that true? If so, I'd like to update the documentation for that parameter. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
