I ran down the image problem, or at least AN image problem, that I mentioned in a previous message. The problem was in the MediaWiki 1.12 Mime table: it used the wrong mime type to attempt to process Microsoft BMP files. The type has been changed. The fix works.<br>
<br>One point to consider in managing images within OWW. If you have a JPEG image and save it with a PNG filename, MediaWiki will accept the file. But, upon uploading it, MediaWiki attempts to guess the format of the image. Therefore, the file will have a ".jpg" file extension, but will now have a stored file type of "PNG". When you open the file, MediaWiki will invoke the JPEG handler for it rather than the PNG file handler. Bottom line: a filename is a label and not a manifest of the file's contents.<br>
<br>Steve Koch also sent an example where a large PNG file (over 2 mb) was not shown as a thumbnail. I'm hunting down this problem. It seems to be a problem with the ImageMagick software on the server used to generate the thumbnail. I don't have a hard number for the limit but I'm looking into it. <br>
<br>Steve also noted that he was unable to launch Powerpoint when he tried to open a ".ppt" file that had worked correctly prior to this. This may have been my fault. I reset the Mime types for all files to their correct values to make sure a query I ran was not to blame for it. <br>
<br>Another user found that a wiki page that had been working before was being rendered wrong, making the page unusable. I fixed the specific problem .<br><br>If anyone sees other aberrant behavior in images or pages, please let me know. <br>
