Timeout when waiting for images

Open jonom opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I've noticed a number of times that the file browser interface will timeout and give a "Well that didn't work!" notice when waiting for thumbnails that are being generated on demand. Closing the interface and re-opening usually fixes the issue, once enough time has passed for all of the requested thumbnails to be generated and stored for quick delivery on future requests. So the impact isn't huge but I imagine user's confidence in the CMS is reduced when they encounter this, especially if they don't know that the solution is to wait a little bit and try again.

A solution that might work, and also make the interface appear to load quite a bit faster, is to display placeholders about the files immediately, and load in individual thumbnails as they become available.

I think I encountered the same bug of @jonom. Reloaded, worked fine. Also, the error is not very explicative, is it supposed to save to a log a more meaningful explanation?

I'm also experiencing that. Pretty annoying. For me it's when pressing the "load more" button in a directory with many files. What works is to dismiss the modal, and press that button again.
