Allow uploading multiple files from your computer at once.
The maximum limit is 100 files at once. There is still a 50MB size limit
that applies to the whole upload. This limit is at the Nginx level.
The upload widget no longer shows a thumbnail preview of the uploaded
file. This is because there isn't room for it in a multi-file upload,
and because the next page will show a preview anyway after the files are
uploaded.
Direct file uploads are processed synchronously, so they may be slow.
API change: the `POST /uploads` endpoint now expects the param to be
`upload[files][]`, not `upload[file]`.
* Save the filename for files uploaded from disk. This could be used in
the future to extract source data if the filename is from a known site.
* Save both the image URL and the page URL for files uploaded from
source. This is needed for multi-file uploads. The image URL is the
URL of the file actually downloaded from the source. This can be
different from the URL given by the user, if the user tried to upload
a sample URL and we automatically changed it to the original URL. The
page URL is the URL of the page containing the image. We don't always
know this, for example if someone uploads a Twitter image without the
bookmarklet, then we can't find the page URL.
* Add a fix script to backfill URLs for existing uploads. For file
uploads, the filename will be set to "unknown.jpg". For source
uploads, we fetch the source data again to get the image and page
URLs. This may fail for uploads that have been deleted from the
source since uploading.
* Fix broken upload tests.
* Fix uploads to return an error if both a file and a source are given
at the same time, or if neither are given. Also fix the error message
in this case so that it doesn't include "base" at the start of the string.
* Fix uploads to percent-encode any Unicode characters in the source URL.
* Add a max filesize validation to media assets.
Fix the test suite failing when trying to run it in the default state
with no config file or API keys configured. Most source sites require
API keys or login credentials to be set in order to work. Skip these
tests when credentials aren't configured.
Add a model for storing image and video metadata for uploaded files.
Metadata is extracted using ExifTool. You will need to install ExifTool
after this commit. ExifTool 12.22 is the minimum required version
because we use the `--binary` option, which was added in this release.
The MediaMetadata model is separate from the MediaAsset model because
some files contain tons of metadata, and most of it is non-essential.
The MediaAsset model represents an uploaded file and contains essential
metadata, like the file's size and type, while the MediaMetadata model
represents all the other non-essential metadata associated with a file.
Metadata is stored as a JSON column in the database.
ExifTool returns all the file's metadata, not just the EXIF metadata.
EXIF is one of several types of image metadata, hence why we call
it MediaMetadata instead of EXIFMetadata.
* Fix corrupted image detection. We were shelling out to vips and trying
to grep for error messages, but the error message for jpeg files changed.
Now we load the file in ruby vips, which raises an error on failure.
* Don't attempt to redownload corrupted images. If a download completes
without any errors yet the downloaded file is corrupt, then something is
wrong at the source and redownloading is unlikely to help. Let the
upload fail and the user retry if necessary.
* Validate that all uploads are uncorrupted, including files uploaded
from a computer, not just files uploaded from a source.
The Rails convention is for test/helpers to be used for testing the view
helpers in app/helpers. We were using it to store certain utility
methods instead. Move these to test/test_helpers so that test/helpers
can be used for its intended purpose.
