This patch for HEAD moves the image size settings into a table and puts the updated timestamp on each size so that when a size changes only that type of derivative image is rebuilt.

On this page: http://drupal.org/node/3256/release "head" is showing up as "Sept. 7". But I assume some cron job needs to run that hasn't yet. I'm hoping that I'll be able to test this on Sunday or Monday. Thanks for the work.

With convert being a resource intensive program I'd say this should be given a higher priority. Not to mention this is crashing my server at the moment.

I have 8 different sizes running on my site and whenever I change one of these settings slightly the server is crashing. I have a dedicated VM with 2GB of Ram reserved and 2ghz reserved.

Bump for this or the broader #244315 ; things that would make my server less angry at me:

- batch rebuilding by cron, so that the site doesn't churn through every image
- enable deleting a derivative set without triggering a rebuild
- Make sure you only rebuild derivatives that have changed
- Rebuild at next view of the image
- integrate with imagecache's management a bit more?

Despite what I imagine is a huge number of installations it seems like this module has been abandoned.

See: http://drupal.org/node/257168#comment-4772192

I'd say there needs to be a warning on the home page of this project saying that it doesn't scale well and that it is no longer being supported.
