Delete Unused Jpegs Button??

[fazman]

Hi Matthew, Ive been backing up my thumbs directory every few days after that last problem I had. I noticed there is around 4900 thumbs in it, when I really only have 350 in the rotation at any one time.

Do I have to click the Delete Unused Jpegs Button to get the script to whipe the ones in the thumbs directory it no longer needs?

And also why doesnt the script remove them completely off of the server when I actually select them for deletion in the first place?

One other question, Ive noticed that if a sponsor uses large file sizes for their images, eg: around 180kb that the script wont display the sample for cropping. I have to actually save it to my drive, resize it and upload before I can actually crop it. Is there a way to increase the size limitations for imagemagick or the gdmodule? Not sure which one controls this.

Thanx

yes, maintainance and then delete unused jpegs - script will remove all jpegs from that folder that does not have reference in database files.

to avoid accidents. jpegs aint the stuff that fills up hard disc very much.

well, thats bullshit. I've cropped half meg images with it. its most likely server related - available memory for php scripts to run.
