I just recently installed acidfree for my 5.1 installation. I love the viewing interface... far better than the standard image interface. BUT... I have a problem.

I can no longer upload new images to my system after installing it by either the single upload or mass upload options. I get a loading... and then a blank page. No errors are logged in the Drupal logs. No images are transferred. This also affects the image_import module from working too.

Any ideas? I did update the the latest version from the 24th with no change in results. Thanks for any help!

Very strange but this problem turns out to be something specific about the dimensions of the graphic being uploaded. Sorry for the bogus message.

If you want to use higher dimension images, try increasing the max memory available to php in your php.ini file. The larger images take up a lot of memory when processing them. Since Drupal uses the GD toolkit by default, it is somewhat of a memory hog. Take, for example, a 1600x1200 image. On disk as a jpeg, it is about 700kB. In memory, it is 1600*1200*3=5.7MB. Then, you will need at least two such sized images to do a resize. That is a 2 megapixel image. So an 8 megapixel image would take around 22MB. and with two of those, you could come really close to a 64MB limit (what with all the other memory consumed by drupal). Try increasing your memory limit to 64MB or higher until things work for you.
