In reply to: Media upload is wackadoodleOK, I finally see. It’s not the byte size of the jpeg compressed file that matters, but the pixel size of the expanded image, so by reducing the jpeg “quality” I gained nothing. I guess it has to re-expand it to make the pixel-reduced images.
I thought I had done some big ones before, but the large byte size of the 100% quality panoramas was keeping me in bounds for the pixel size. My largest one on there seems to be a 9 Meg, 9281×3529 = 32752649 . My problem came with the ( quality reduced ) 3 Meg, 6401×5927 = 37938727, which is larger when expanded.
So, I think it’s reasonable to think I’ve had the same limitation all along, but just crossed the line. Maybe I will try your suggestion of reducing the expanded image size to allow the processing to succeed.
Thanks.

In reply to: Media upload is wackadoodleThese are panoramas made from Mars Curiosity images and they can end up being 40 Meg or more. You have a point, though, because they are much larger than the sum of the component sizes, where you’d expect them to be less due to overlap. PTgui has a “quality” adjustment for the output which defaults to 100%, and this accounts for the hugosity. As I mentioned, I used paint.net to reduce the jpeg quality, but I actually think there is something about the format which is tripping up the “crunch” phase becaused the images are there, but no thumbnail or other sizes. ( BTW, it’s a 500 not 504 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR, “Please contact the server administrator” it says )… Well, I just tried reducing the quality of a 3.25 MB, 2 image panorama, which had uploaded OK. With 75% specified in PTgui it reduced to 495KB, and still uploads OK, so that leaves paint.net as the problem. I’ll see if I can bring my bad actor under control using the PTgui adjustment. Right now I have it cobbled up with a “hand built” thumbnail and some html editing.
Thanks for your reply!

In reply to: Media upload is wackadoodleWell, I reduced the image from 18 Meg to 3 Meg with Paint.net, without any apparent degradation, I might add, but I get the same result! To see it, I have to edit a post, request an upload/insert, specify the Media Library, then click “show” on the image. ( This was a step that eluded me for some time, earlier on. ) Then the options for Thumbnail, Medium, Large, Fullsize appear, with sizes specified. Now I’m getting dead buttons and blank specifications for everything but Fullsize, which shows 0x0. This for the 3 Meg as well as the 18 Meg. Why all of sudden? This was working!

In reply to: "Leave a reply" gets 404 Page Not FoundMaybe you’re on to something, since I can’t access my Plugins tab, which shows a “3”. It times out with IE cannot display the web page. My other tabs seem to come up, willy nilly 🙁
