Windows 10: Picture File Upload

Trustedstar1 · Feb 10, 2021

Awhile back I Used to be able to Upload a photo to whatever. Now, when I go to do the same thing, it has No information on that file. I'll put my cursor on it and says the Size of it but when I go to Upload, it doesn't do anything. It is a jpg.file. One had it as a png.file. I don't think it's the Social Media site doing it, I think it's embedded in my computer. I have a HP All-In-One touchscreen Desktop. I await any resolve to this issue. Thanks.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.

So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

Increase image file upload size cap

Okay, first off, people need to learn to calm down. That includes the OP and everyone replying. I would consider this a very legitimate concern he raises and I'll explain why and what I would suggest to fix it to address all the concerns brought up.

I see three sides to this.

OneMoar wants to upload bigger files. Generally speaking, most users are lazy so this is a valid concern from a usability standpoint. While I do believe there should be an upload limit, there should be a separate storage limit.

Concern with bandwidth: I suspect that uploading images is a relatively small amount of bandwidth and that serving up said images is much more costly. So that would put emphasis on getting not putting if bandwidth is a concern.

Storage, a very real concern because a lot of images adds up quickly which adds a need to efficiently store said images.

So my suggestion (assuming W1zz wanted to do this out of kindness of his heart,) is this:

Increase upload limit to 10-20MB max.

Institute a storage limit of 2-5MB max.

Use PHP's GD library to convert uploaded images to JPEG or PNG.

PNGs tend to look nicer than JPEGs, but use more space. Probably preferable for smaller images or images requiring transparency.

JPEG tends to be very flexible when it comes to quality and the amount of compression. PHP's GD lib gives you control over this.

So long as the image is uploaded in a format GD can read which includes most commonly used formats, it may not be unrealistic to re-store it in a different format. It's also not unrealistic to use GD to scale the image as well.

I've used GD before and it's relatively easy to use and is relatively quick with respect to performance. I would be willing to write up some examples with respect to how to do it if it were welcomed.

Side note: I see a watermark, GD might be getting used already so this might not be a stretch if the CPU cycles are there to spare.

Limit each person to what they can upload ?, well that's terrible after time as posted pics end up deleted and leave useful threads with missing pictures.

Or did it misunderstand point number 2.
