Hi Folks! I’m trying to upload some high-res TIFFS using the bulk uploader tool however in Beta it’s struggling with creating the thumbnails: Example: http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Tracing_of_Field_Sheet_9_(WOOS-18-3).tif

 

1)      Does this reflect the reality of how my upload will render on the live site?   

2)      When using the bulk uploader am I limited to using .jpgs?

 

The original link to the URL for uploading is here: http://www.webarchive.org.uk/bldatasets/WOA/WOOS_18_3.tif  Is it because TIFFS don’t render in the browser that the bulk uploader isn’t able to grab it and display in the same way as the jpg? Please advise, hoping to get these up asap and would prefer to use TIFFS. Cheers!
