In reply to: [Rackspace CDN] Synchronizeso if you want a copy of the files to always exist on the local and the cdn then this message will always show up in the admin?

In reply to: [Rackspace CDN] Will this plugin update the links?yes, so i guess my concern stemmed from experience with another cdn tool which would sync everything delete all the files and any pages that hadn’t had the links updated would suddenly have lots of failed file paths.

In reply to: [Rackspace CDN] Synchronizeits true that people might want to save space though but a lot of hosting has large amounts of space cheaply anyway.

In reply to: [Rackspace CDN] Synchronizehaving the files locally and on the cdn is a really quick extra backup too and if anything did go wrong with the cdn it could be easily reverted.
if you thought that the plugin could have an option to sync the files with a storage server like copy.com for backups that would be a pretty nifty addon though we are getting off the track of cdn usage of course there.

In reply to: [Rackspace CDN] SynchronizeI’ll be a lot keener to try the plugin once i know it will leave the local files there as well as creating the remote ones.

In reply to: [Rackspace CDN] Will this plugin update the links?If a page already exists though and you add the plugin the paths will still point to the local host until you update or do something to the page though right?

In reply to: [Prizm Image] Image Upload Slowed or Times OutLike no new rows of text show up on the page, it goes through processing the images, showing details of what it is doing to each one and then it just stops and i really don’t know what is happening at that stage. I hadn’t noticed if it was a certain type of image but it didn’t seem to be the same image all the time. I can test it on a few more different websites and hosting to see if that makes any difference. If you want i can send you the log of the compression as an email or support ticket and you can see for yourself. I turned on debugging but that didn’t really make it any clearer to me what was failing sorry.

In reply to: [Prizm Image] api keyHi Tom, good to hear. It seems there is a big gap in what is available vs what people need. I can’t really understand why yahoo doesnt have a paid version of smushit that works properly all the time.
I prefer not to use the jetpack image compression and hosting, lack of control over the images and what is cached. http://cloudinary.com/ seems like it takesover the image management of wordpress too much. Smushit is just plain unreliable and limited to 1mb. ewww optimizer doesnt do enough compression so its like 5% reduction at best.
One of the big problems I have with any image compression plugin is when it stops working, they never seem to fail quickly and gracefully and the user is left wondering wtf is going on and why its taking 5min to ‘crunch’ an image.
If we are going to use image compression it needs to be near bulletproof, and if it does stop working to just let the images upload as normal and not screw up the entire image upload process. Ideally perhaps the images would be compressed later, not during the upload so that upload is still fast but images are compressed too.
A paid service would be fine so long as it was incredibly reliable and fast. If the smarts of the compression system can be run from wordpress rather than sending the image off to another server then great but i doubt that is how you would want to run it as it releases code into the wild.
The main reason I don’t want to use the plugin you have more at the moment is that bulk compression tasks seem to get stuck easily and when images are uploaded I have sat and watched for over a minute wondering wtf is happening with the images. Even instead of just nothing if there was some progress bar showing that compression was happening so that the user isn’t left guessing?
Love the amount of compression you give the images, its a massive saving, but it needs to be more robust and user friendly in terms of the experience of the person uploading images. Thank you, jeremy.

In reply to: [Mailgun Email Validator] gravity formsI checked with gravity forms support, under 10min for a reply which was impressive.
Gravity Forms does not use is_email() but it does perform validation on emails entered in the Email field.

In reply to: [Prizm Image] Bulk Prizm Imageif the bulk smush seems to be getting stuck should we increase the timeout? What number of seconds is possible, is 600 to long?
