01550: Pmwiki needs to increase default limits on all file sizes.
Description:
I get an error message trying to upload an image: "file is larger
than allowed maximum of 400000 bytes for 'jpg' files"
IMHO this is ridiculous. This was good 25 years ago, but
things have changed since then.
Disk space is cheap
Bandwidth is super fast
Computers are uber super fast

I use a 70 inch monitor (ONN Roku TV) connected
to a laptop that is slightly larger than an ipad
and is over 6 years old, yet is faster than anything
I ever used.
Pmwiki needs to increase default limits on all file sizes.

You only have one vote, not 16, don't place multiple votes as if several people voted. Denied for the core -- already possible in config.php, and uploads are not enabled by default. Denied for pmwiki.org -- no such need at this time. Try to be more creative, think out of the box. For example, converting the JPEG to a WEBP will be smaller, and you can play with the save quality, and the dimensions, i.e. halve the width and height will close to quarter the file size. Petko
Petko, I understand you position on this, yet I am saying
we do not need to concern about file size or bandwidth.
Stopping to adjust an image every time I want to use one in
PmWiki is a big hassle - it interrupts flow of content creation.
I just want to create content, not worry about image file sizes.
That is just not important anymore.
Have the limits change at all since 25 years ago?
How about we at least double them. --gnuzoo
This website is not your free personal hosting plan, free blog, or unlimited publishing platform, it is a place to showcase and improve PmWiki and discuss any problems and bugs. The current limits are largely sufficient for this. PmWiki also has enabled external links and can embed externally hosted pictures if you want to link to larger files or demonstrate your addons on your own wiki or hosting space. Yes, the limits have been increased 8 times, from 50 to 400 KB. --Petko

Never, not for 1 millisecond would I ever think this. It is a
great privilege to be honored with a group inside PmWiki.
I would still suggest increasing the limit a ninth time, at least doubling it by default.
I think computing power/speeds have increased well over a thousand times since PmWiki
started. You are the expert who knows things that I might never anticipate. Perhaps there
is a problem with spam uploads. The choice of you to maintain PmWiki was excellent.
I defer to your wisdom. --gnuzoo
