Canis Posted May 20 Posted May 20 We have a limit of max 1000px vertical or horizontal. But uploads contains over 300 images that are larger, up to 12000x9000px! All image types are affected.
Management Matt Posted May 20 Management Posted May 20 When you change that setting, it doesn't go back and update images uploaded before that date. Any images over your setting, should be resized and saved. Note that Gallery will always try and store the original image alongside the resized versions. Marc 1
Canis Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 Thanks. But we have always used max 1000px vertical or horizontal. We do not use Gallery, forum postings only.
Canis Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 I searched for some of them in ibf_core_attachments and none were found.

Canis Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 In the uploads folders. They seems to be from the last 5 years.
Jim M Posted May 20 Posted May 20 2 minutes ago, Canis said: In the uploads folders. They seems to be from the last 5 years. Hard to say without an example tied to a current content item. Could be a failed deletion from when you previously allowed something large, from a third party app which did not follow our guidelines, something like Gallery where the original file was kept, etc... Too many cases for us to narrow down.
Canis Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 The dimensions settings has never been changed and we have never used Gallery. We use only one 3. party app which is only related to displaying topics. Latest files that exceed the dimensions limits is from April this year. Is there a way of deleting orphaned images?
Solution Jim M Posted May 20 Solution Posted May 20 Just now, Canis said: Is there a way of deleting orphaned images? There should not be orphaned images. The software will delete attachments once content has been deleted. The only way would be to create a new folder and then change the file storage configuration to move to that new folder, thus it will only move items it is aware of.
Canis Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 Many thanks, that worked. 791 orphaned images deleted, 1.8GB. Marc 1
