I assume the developers of phpbb and/or plupload have been made aware of the issue, if so that's all I can do unfortunately. It's an awful lot of my time for not much benefit when someone who already knows the code could probably fix it in minutes. I've been on both ends of that process many times and know what a huge amount of effort it can be for someone who is not familiar with the code or contributing guidelines of a project and/or may have marginal skills in the language in question to fix it the right way. Unfortunately I already spend way too much of my rapidly dwindling free time working on other open source projects to go and try to spend a lot of time learning yet another code-base in a language I probably don't know, (I do know some php, but not javascript) figuring out how to fix the problem properly and in a way that the developers would accept a patch for. The forum can't assume the exif data is correct because so much photo editing software doesn't support exif and may leave incorrect exif data in the file when scaling or cropping.įeel free to submit a patch to phpbb or plupload.Īnd if I'm not an experienced programmer in the languages they're written in ? If they both used the same figures from the file and both ignored the exif data the issue wouldn't happen.
I'll see if there is a way to strip the exif data using or some other utility but it seems like a lot of faffing around to work around the inconsistency in the way the forum and client side resizer interpret the image size. So it would appear that any photo editing software that doesn't support exif data manipulation (which is most of the free ones) will pass the original unaltered exif data (containing the original image size) through and trigger the problem. Opened an image, cropped it, saved it, tried to upload it, exact same problem. I had been using MS Paint in Windows 7 to crop images before uploading so I thought I would install something different - the well known free.
I think this is still really a forum bug that the javascript client side resizer and the forum code itself don't agree on whether to use the exif data or not to find the image size.
