Hi
We have been doing test migrations and I noticed a huge amount of memory usage from Imagick on our install which reminded me that there is another option, GraphicsMagick which was a branch from Imagick a few years ago.
Generally it runs much faster and lighter than Imagick and also it seems to have less security issues. It does have some limitations over Imagick but most of them seem to be related to more advanced image processing so I *think* they would not be an issue for IPB.
If php was directly calling the Imagic binary rather than the php wrapper you used to be able to directly swap them out and it would mostly work if I recall.
Just a thought.

As recommended, I'm creating this topic to reinstate the option to download files manually from the Marketplace.
It's bad enough you don't allow the download of apps we purchased when our licence has expired. But, to completely change the way file downloads are handle is a little much.

Please don't get me wrong, I love the idea that we can now do it all with ACP, but you shouldn't disable/change the way that a lot of us download files for localhost setups to test our sites before going live.

Please, please, please allow the option to download files manually like we've done for so many years!
 
(Edit: Happy 600 posts to me, woo!)

Absolutely a necessity to support multiple localhost development environments and to support the download of application/plugins directly from the IPS marketplace as existed in 4.4 and earlier. The inability to download files directly from the marketplace limits severely limits those that have installations that are not accessible from the outside internet, whether that be an internal corporate install or various development / virtualized environments.
It also prevents administrators and security folks from being able to audit applications and plugins prior to installation in any environment. At present, one must install an application/plugin prior to being able to review. In the past, we've purchased plugins/applications that upon inspection of the downloaded file, we found that there were breaking changes that did not follow IPS development guidelines and that would have resulted in a degradation of service in our production environment. Without inspecting those files in advance, we would have not been able to identify these issues.

To be honest, apps and plugins that get abandoned are one prime reason we need a way to sensibly obtain the files to fix issues ourselves if we want. I know many wont have the skills to do that but as someone who has patched abandoned plugins for vbulletin for years I think we as customers of plugins should have some ability to get plugins manually.
We are customers, pirates will always find a way to do what they want and they arent all lost sales but causing issues for customers will lead to lost sales. Always think of those that are prepared to pay over the concerns of those that would never pay.

I figured there would have been a way to manually grab and install marketplace files post 4.5 as I like to archive old versions and track changes but I wont be able to do that any more?
I love the marketplace integration and it makes sense for a lot of users but a manual fallback should still be in place as well.

Exactly that, but it's a bit of a hassle.

I get what you guys are saying and understand. Actually I fully support what you say. But, manual download from IPS Marketplace should stay intact. That's all. I appreciate what you guys do and that's why I've chosen IPS as my go to and it's always recommended friends. So please don't think I'm being a nuisance.

If a user posts a poll and sets it not to display the names of the people who voted for each option, members don't get warned that their vote will be public and they may wish to share their opinion anonymously. However, the author of the poll can just edit the poll to set it to public, and see the names and choices of everyone who has already voted. This defeats the point of having private polls.
Either it shouldn't be possible to change a poll from private to public, or votes from when it was private should be anonymised.

Just a thought, if some of those cases are copyright etc related if you host it yourself you will have to deal with those sorts of legal demands.

Can you possibly add the option to change the default bookmark to Private?
Also it would be nice if the admin area had some stats about most bookmarked topics and users using the app.

Thought of a couple of more things:

Here is a pretty good breakdown of the various head options:

I've written an application to introduce hCaptcha support.
 

Will 4.5 include support for hCaptcha?
CloudFlare just switched to it due to growing privacy concerns with Google.
https://blog.cloudflare.com/moving-from-recaptcha-to-hcaptcha/

So that would make it "Show until start of {DATE}" rather than end of that date. Its not a big issue either way it works, it more just language clarity to know exactly what to expect.

We basically do "create the date {whatever is entered} and then give me the timestamp for that". I presume most often that will be 00:00 as I already mentioned above, however technically we are not defining a time.

I think the question is more does it mean it expires when it hits the 15th or does it end on the 16th for example.
Something like "Show until end of 15.3.2020" or " Show until start of 15.3.2020" rather than talking about precise minute timing.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll take a closer look at this for an upcoming release.
