Call for testers - immediate image processing
Erik Krause 2019-Dec-13 09:42:00
Hello,
until now when uploading images or changing thumbnail positions one had
to wait for the next image conversion run, which could last up to 20
minutes. In fact image processing was carried out on Markus' Mac Mini at
home. Fortunately, this worked in the past, despite some stops due to
power outages etc.
However, I managed to get the necessary programs running on the server
(which wasn't easy since we don't have root access) and now image
processing can be carried out there, immediately after upload or change.
Nevertheless processing takes some seconds, so it needed to be done in
the background.
Since this is a crucial feature it needs to be tested thoroughly, before
hitting the main server. So if you want to help the WWP, please do some
testing on the beta version on https://betacon2.worldwidepanorama.org/
The beta server works on the same database like the main server, so you
can do all your uploading and editing for Best of 2019 there. Save your
work frequently and switch to the regular contribution server if there
are any problems. But in any case report here!
