[Ids-devel] Hrm...tiff files (0.8)

[Ashley M. K. <as...@pc...>]

    Okay, so put 0.8 into action, and uploaded two .tif files, both 250 px
wide by 347 and 359 respectively.

    In the admin page, I get no previews generated, just the genericfile
icon.  When I click on that, it goes straight to the .tif file (which on
my system gets handled by the QuickTime plug-in through the browser),
plug-in gets loaded.

    Back in the normal (non admin) view, I do get previews, however
because both images are less than 512 px (in either dimension), the
picture never loads in the image view (because...I don't know, the img tag
is correct, but I presume because it's a .tif file which won't load up
just like that - when I right click, and tell it to view the image...the
QT plug-in comes up again)

    I suspect, even if the tif file is of some large size, and IDS can
handle the different sizes properly, if someone picks 'original', the same
problem will come up - no image in the image view.  This also happens on
http://arwen.hn.org/~john/ids-0.8/index.cgi?mode=image&album=/Sample%20Album&image=WLM1ST.TIF
if I pick the original size.  Maybe it's just the way my QT is setup, but
I was never able to look at a tif file that was embedded in a webpage -
only when it's viewed by itself.
