Questions and Answers

Q: Is there a manuel maintenance between the config.txt and the me-image macro?

...

 

Q: My Thumbnail Image is not displayed?

A: Check the following:

• Tomcat Linking is allowed
• The Paths etc in the macro on the Confluence Page - does it exist in the filesystem
• Permissions on the filesystem

 

Q: Images are so slow...why?

A: This can be bandwith, server hardware, memory - or the DisplaySize parameter - hence how large an image that must be fetched. 800 is default. 

Q: Why does the me-image macro have both an parth/image-name and md5 sum parameter

A: The path/image-name is pure legacy, the md5 is the future workings, as this better supports moving images around in dirs, or renaming them.
