Profile Albums: PNG, JPEG, Maximal Size.

[HAL9000 10]

Hello James,

 

today I posted a chart on my blog, well,

I should say a screenshot as a png file (size 3288x877).

 

From my point of view everything is OK, even if the small attachment

chart is not visible, instead you can click on the link.

 

So far everything is nice.

 

But here is my issue:

 

While I am a little bit chaotic, I tried to upload the same chart (file) into my album.

 

It says there is a 1200x1200 restriction, but anyway it uploads my too large png-file. But it seems that it is converted into a much smaller jpeg-file (813x217).

 

So now, I would like to ask you, if its possible, to show files within albums

as on the blogs?

 

And maybe, just maybe, to show the "Attached Images" on blogs as image, even if some limits are violated? BTW. I uploaded a png, but the created jpeg is scaled 38 %.

 

----

 

Anyway, if its too complicated,

leave it as it is, its not so important.

 

Regards,

 

Hal

Hi Hal,

 

Did some research but unable to understand the problem fully. Which link are you using to upload this picture? Its probably just a matter of settings but with so many options its a bit of an issue locating it. Thanks

Hi James,

 

I think my post was a little bit mixed up.

 

So I have done a screenshot, which should explain my issue (hopefully better):

 

 

So it seems, that my png file is too large in memory size (572 KB in this case)

and in pixel size (3840x1024).

 

What I have recognized is, that these restrictions are different, if

I use the "Manage Attachment" feature on normal posts.

For png files, there is a maximum size of ca. 488 KB and it seems that,

there is no restriction on pixel size.

I think a similar way would be good for pictures in albums too.

Hi Hal,

 

Thanks for clarifying the issue. I have made some adjustments within the system. Can you please try again? If all works well I will enable this for the rest of the members. Thanks.

Hi James,

 

I will try and post the result here later.

[HAL9000 10]

I have just tried it with and without logging out.

 

So far its the same as before.

 

So I still see the what is on the above screenshot.

And the outcome is the same.

 

Do I have the permission to use the new adjusted settings?

 

Anyway, if its getting to complicated, because of the png-jpeg conversion,

just leave it as is.

 

Hal

 

P.S.: I will try it later again.

Hi Hal,

 

I just enabled it for all usergroups. The limit is now 4800 x 4800 pixels and 1000kb in size. This is rather large and do not want to expand it further. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks.
