the allmighty patch
After checking the imagemagick documentation, I concluded that following patch could take care of the arbitrary 12.5Mpixel limit, and concentrate on limiting the used cache instead.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Attached:
Some of my notes from IRC; other than bringing the patch up to date a couple things to note:
[4:05pm] brion: the rule exception check looks wrong; it's only with ImageMagick that we can safely scale large JPEGs
[4:05pm] brion: if we tried it with GD we'd need to load the full image into memory, i believe
[4:06pm] brion: some sensible example values for the limits could be useful, as well as simply testing to confirm that it doesn't go beyond those limits with large PNG and TIFF sources
[4:06pm] brion: should collect some sample input files...
Marking as duplicate of bug 9497 since the patch tries to address the same issue.
