"A generic error occurred in GDI+"

[dwhickox]

I'm not quite sure what happened but the .net spit out this several times, even after a restart:

Thanks again, David

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I should mention both times it managed to upload exactly 50 images, then before the restart (of the computer), it would not upload anymore even if I killed the program and reopened it. It just used huge amounts of network, and after the restart 50 again.

Hi @dwhickox

Could you please post your log file? (%AppData%\EasyImgur\log.log) It may contain more information as to what's going on.

Thanks!

Hi, Sorry for the slow response, I am studying for finals right now so email checking has kind of fallen by the wayside.

Anyway, the file is attached, thanks for everything! log.log

Hey, I took a look at your log and also managed to reproduce the issue by uploading a bunch of relatively small images. Apparently you were being rate limited by the Imgur API :( The API was returning code 429 with message

"You are uploading too fast. Please wait 59 more minutes."

I've commited some changes that will make this clearer in the future hopefully, but for now I don't think we can do much about it really. The only option would be to either artificially limit the rate at which EasyImgur uploads (which is very inconvenient, especially because once you do hit the limit we would need to artificially wait 60 minutes judging from that message), or we could contact Imgur and see if we can get the rate limiting changed for EI, but I think that is unlikely...
