Hi,

I have configured my php settings as follows:
max_execution_time = 180
max_input_time = 120
;max_input_nesting_level = 64
memory_limit = 256M

I'm using
CCK 6.x-2.8
Imagefield 6.x-3.7
Filefield 6.x-3.7
OS CentOS 5

... and I am noticing that images will only be 'grabbed' if I fetch them manually. Despite my execution time of 180, I read this message after grabbing images manually:

ImageGrabber: PHP execution time limit for system is 60 seconds, due to which images for some feed items couldn't be downloaded

This seems strange to me, it looks like Imagegrabber is mistaken about the execution time. FeedAPI is allowed to use 75% of cron time, the maximum I could set for it at its settings page.

Manual grabbing works great. If I perform the action a few times eventually I get a success message telling me the feed is up to date, no images remaining. It really enhances the entire FeedAPI experience. So I'm hoping there is something I can do to automate the grabbing, for doing it manually will not be ideal when working with lots of feeds.

BTW; I tested this on multiple feeds, same result.

I also looked at http://drupal.org/project/datasync_feedapi but this requires a mysql databse instead of my (newer) mysqli version. I believe converting back to MYSQL is not too easy or comes recommended. So I´m not sure datasync_feedapi would be a viable solution.

I double checked everything, but my cron time is tripple the 60 seconds that are indicated by imagegrabber. So I suspect this is a bug.

I would really like to get this working, for imagegrabber does a tremendous job. If only it would run automatically .. :) I'd love any sort of suggestion on how to get this this to not time out and work on its own.
