If you have trouble getting thumbnailing to work, you
can disable the
server-side resizing by setting in LocalSettings.php:
$wgUseImageResize = false;
This isn't ideal if your images are large photos because they'll be
downloaded at full size to the web browser, but if your images are roughly
screen-sized that should get you working for now.

Thanks, Arcane it worked perfectly. Do you know
of any similar extension
for JPGs and other bitmap image formats as my Wiki is having similar
problems with these image formats too?
PS I've made some inquiries about the Jmol extension with the author
(NicoV) mentioning your and my difficulties (

If you just need quick and dirty clientside SVG
rendering, try this
extension:

Even if you don't have any other SVG renderer enabled, it pipes the

through your browser's SVG renderer as a
middleman, which, unless you
have
a browser that belongs in a museum, will work
fine 100% of the time.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing
Hi,
I'd like to know how I can use Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing on my
Windows
7 OS with a MediaWiki installation.
Inkscape's files are located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape. My efforts to date (mostly based on
Manual:$wgSVGConverters and other MediaWiki manual pages) have failed.
Currently my LocalSettings.php file's SVG-related settings are:
# Image Converter
> $wgSVGConverter = 'Inkscape';
> $wgSVGConverters = array(
> 'Inkscape' => '"$path/inkscape.exe" -z -w $width -f
$input -e
$output',
>> );
>> # Image converter path
>> $wgSVGConverterPath = '/Program Files (x86)/Inkscape';

The reason I'd like Inkscape as my SVG thumbnailer in particular is
because

know
that
Wikia's thumbnailer (whatever it might be) frequently makes
rendering

and all
the black spots that appear in it.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
