fix full size for uploaded gifs+discussion
I was poking around trying to better characterize this one, and first, we don't really seem to have any image files in the test database. I was playing with adding a test based on *logo, but that's not ideal.
While poking around, it eventually did display that image after several double click edits and cancels. I'm wondering exactly were the problem is, maybe in the browser/javascript? Is the image missing from the server, or more likely, not always loading correctly into the slot.

You got an image beneath "content, size:full:" ? I double-clicked (and cancelled) a bunch and only ever managed to edit the whole "fullsize image testing" card, and the image never appeared.

Probably good to ask Lew about this one, since he did this work and spotted this issue. But my memory was that the actual image was unavailable for some reason. Does seem bizarre that the problem would be with the original.

Yeah, maybe the URL is getting munged somehow, so it doesn't actually point to the right file.
Yes, I did see the "full" image at one point, but I have no idea how I did it. I'll see if I can reproduce it.

just noticed that size is completely not respected in closed view (see example). expand this ticket, or add one?

There are two issues there. One is that when you open and close image cards, the size variable is not getting passed as a cgi var. I think this is already ticketed (described as losing size when reopening or something). The other is that we explicitly override the size in css anyway so that images don't bust the closed view. Not sure that's a bad idea. No need to ticket that without a better one.

yup, respect image size when closed view is opened
Right, I wasn't suggesting that when the card is actually in closed view it be anything other than icon size.

I was thinking this would be covered by the upgrade in implement password security for files, but that may not be true based on this comment:
ImageScience doesn't handle all gifs properly, so it converts them to pngs for thumbnails. It has something to do with trying to save gifs with a larger palette than 256 colors, which is all the gif format supports. One fix would be switch to different image processing back-end (ImageMagick.. etc)
I think for now we're going to keep using ImageScience. Will dig in later, but taking off of 1.8 for now.
