Allow working on pictures larger than 4096 #12

Closed antistress closed 9 years ago

antistress commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I'm using GIMP with Save for the Web. My usecase is : picking up a picture from FlckR in its Original size [1], then asking Save the Web to scale the picture and other stuff to get a small sized picture for my personal blog.

Sometimes the Save the Web menu entry is ineffective. I've discovered that it is limited to pictures smaller than 4096 [2]. I've also discovered that Save the Web was displaying in that case a subtle message at the bottom that says "The image is too large for Save for Web" [3] - I wonder who has ever noticed it.

Considering that Save the Web is especially useful to get smaller sized pictures, that scalling is part of the process, that current implementation make user think of a bug (nothing happens unless you notice the subtle message), i'd suggest to unlock that artificial limit

Thanks !

Increased size to 10000 pixels. This should be enough for a while. :)
