Export fails with large image
Probably not unexpectedly, exporting fails with a large image. Try: https://iammadeofrobots.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/asianeyes.jpg
thank you for reporing this.
since this seems to work fine for me on firefox and chrome on windows, so i suspect it is a hardware or operating system related issue.
@belzecue can can you provide a bit more info about the operating system and browser used (and if possible details about the hardware?)
thank you! :bowtie:
Win7 64-bit, AMD X4 640, 8gig ram.
At the time, I tried in Firefox after it failed in Chrome and it appeared to fail also, but I think I didn't wait long enough -- on another attempt with Firefox just now with the same large pic it exported okay after a delay of 10 seconds before the save dialog pops up. But I can load smaller pics and export them fine. Tested again just now and the big one continues to crash the tab ("aw snap"). More Chrome testing: incognito window, still crashes; clean profile (freshly generated, no plugins), still crashes with the same large pic.
thank you for testing! i'll look into this issue a bit further and hopefully i'll be able to reproduce and/or hopefully fix it (or maybe show a warning of some kind when the user is importing a large file).
I just did some more research on this, and apparently the exported image cannot be larger than 2MB in Chrome, 128KB in Safari and 32 KB in some IE versions ( http://stackoverflow.com/a/6167680/229189 ).
So it looks like the only way to fix this is to set a size limit for the canvas. All images that are larger than the maximum size will get scaled down automatically.
