Sycamore Errors from Image uploads and displays

[BradM]

I uploaded a text file with the pasted in error messages under the
FILES at right.

I inadvertently uploaded some larger images, (they got saved as big
PNG's instead of JPGs.) - I got the first two error messages from the
two upload dialogs. I fixed them but then got a long Sycamore message
when I tried to save the file.

After that I redid the files and uploaded the new ones. At first,
neither file would display even thought the wiki code was OK, after a
couple of saves, the first image showed but not the second one. At
that time both were visible if i went to the Files tab and ckicked on
them, I finally uploaded a reduced size version of the second one and
it finally worked OK.

How big were the PNGs, and do you still have them handy by chance? I
have a fairly low memory limit set to keep Sycamore from destroying the
entire server if something goes awry, but it could be somewhat more
polite and graceful about it :-) -rt

I found them still in my Trash bin and uploaded them to the group -
two MonteAlban photos. I uploaded the 3.98mb one first I think, then
the smaller 1,3mb one. You can see the upload names and sequence in
the version info for the page.

Delete them from the group when you are done with them.

Yup, it's totally hitting a sanity limit. It should be handling that
exception more cleanly, but that's part of a larger problem.
Fortunately, there's already a setting for this... I've decreased the
max file size limit to 1MB. This should nip that in the bud, I hope.

I'm done with the MonteAlban photos, but I don't believe I have
permission to delete the files... I suspect you might be able to,
however.

Thanks! -rt

Files are gone gone - thanks for the fast work on the issue - should I
put some notes in some of the Photo related pages about the size
limit??

Probably no need to do so -- the error is self-explanatory (unlike the
one you got ;-), and larger files are comparatively rare. Also, no need
to make existing oversized images smaller... the wiki automatically
handles that.

Total files on wiki: 3402
Files bigger than 1MB: 53

(Unrelatedly, sometimes databases amaze me. This query:

select name, length(file) from files where length(file) > 2^20 order by
length(file) desc;

... which needs to determine the length of each of 3,402 files totaling
455,900,994 bytes, is practically instant.) -rt
