phoenixlpr 0 #3 May 31, 2007 QuoteThat one uploaded an invalid photo it appears. So, how is that it opens as a valid image if I click on "Click to enlarge" ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 14 #4 June 4, 2007 This appears to be a wider spread issue then I thought. Sangiro, could you look at this?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eule 0 #5 June 5, 2007 I suspect a crappy parser... Looking at the ad that phoneixlpr originally posted, I get the same thing - no thumbnail, but when you click on it, you get the full-size image. I did a right-click and "save as" on that image and got a file named "ben under canopy.jpg". Linux file(1) says $ file ben\ under\ canopy.jpg ben under canopy.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, comment: "AppleMark" and it would be fun to blame it on the Mac, but I looked further. The same seller currently has another ad with a picture, but the thumbnail for that picture displays OK. Full-size, right-click, save as yields "IMG_1482.jpg". file(1) says $ file IMG_1482.jpg IMG_1482.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, comment: "AppleMark" So it may not be the file format. One obvious difference is that the first one has spaces in the file name, and the second one does not. That would be enough to throw off a parser that was written by someone who wasn't thinking clearly. It should be simple to test. (Probably one of the classifieds editors should do this so they can quickly delete the test ads.) Take any random photo and copy it to two filenames, one with a space in the name and one without. Make one test ad with one photo and another test ad with the other. If the thumbnail doesn't show up for the one with spaces in the filename, there's your answer. If this is the problem, the Right Way[tm] to fix it is to make the parser not suck. (It probably would take adding exactly two ' characters in the right spot.) The other ways to do it are to somehow stick a shim in between the user form and the classifieds software to rename the file to something without spaces in the name, or to put up a notice on the place-an-ad form that says "don't use filenames with spaces". EulePLF does not stand for Please Land on Face. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkiD_PL8 0 #6 June 6, 2007 Eule got it figured out. I had an add for a neptune up that was not displaying a thumbnail, changed the name to one word no spaces and it fixed the problem. Greenie in training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
