I've sent a bug to poppler's bugtracker: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41867 Hope the patch will be included some day. :) > There are a bunch of introductions of register_globals vulnerabilities -- do > not want. :) Oops, thank you very much! I've understood at last, why so much extensions disallow setting parameters before inclusion... =) although register_globals is off on every "self-respecting" web server :) > I'm a bit unsure what this multiple-thumbnail thing is for; it's not even > mentioned in your descriptions.

For example, insert all slides of a presentation to a wiki page... I agree it's a sort of specific feature. > What's the benefits of the direct rendering from ImageMagick?

What about temp files: we've had an issue when handling some PDFs (I can find an example if you want) - gs was creating several ~1Gb files on /tmp and then crashing. So /tmp became full some day :) And all gs-based pdf viewers suffer - opening such PDFs takes ~4 min on modern hardware :) at the same time, Adobe Reader displays them normally. The problem exists mostly when these PDFs are rendered with high DPI setting. So when using imagemagick, you must lower this setting to solve the problem, but this also affects the quality of other images. > What does "Thumbnails now link to correct individual pages of PDF." actually > mean? This means [[File:Something.pdf|page=2]] will link to /wiki/File:Something.pdf?page=2 - not just /wiki/File:Something.pdf -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
