[Feature Request]: Use sharp compression for creating webp pictures on Linux System

[pagenstedt]

Feature Description

It seems, publii is not able to use sharp engine on Linux, whether sharp libraries are installed or not. What is the problem here, and will it be fixed one day?

Hi,

Are you using the latest version of Publii? (v.0.42.1)

Sharp is supported on Linux again for over 1 year: https://github.com/GetPublii/Publii/commit/e781c71b781f1af9baf3cdd75ad313dcef3d2ad1

It seems I do use Version: 0.42.1 (build 16233) Attached the notice I am seeing. https://ibb.co/xDDg4ns Sharp works, error only for generating webp.

Please check if you have anything under Tools -> Log viewer -> regenerate-errors.log

I've been using Sharp on Linux without any issues for a while now. Webp support (also for Featured Images) included. Just have to select Sharp in App setting, I guess.

having the same problem while choosing sharp regeneration engine. It starts the regeneration process but hangs at a certain percentage (1-7%) Jimp is slow but works. System fedora 38 Publii Version: 0.42.1 (build 16233)

Error in regenerate-errors.log screenshot attached

@bsbhadwal - usually such problems occur when image contains some metadata or format which is not supported by sharp library. Most probably one of your images is incorrect for sharp and it causes this error.

I will try to implement code changes which will handle such errors more gracefully.

Thank you. Since this is a batch process, I would recommend ignoring images that fail, logging them and moving to the next one.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one (image)

Even after stripping a JPG, PNG, and WEBp of all metadata. I am unable to upload any media to Publii.
