image properties - no size

Post by Justinh »

If you right-mouse -> Properties on an image, the "Element Properties" window always reports "Size of File" as "Unknown (not cached)". How can the image be rendered if it were not cached? I thought all assets in a web page had to be cached before the browser could render the assets. Even if you open the image directly (View Image) it will not show the size.

Why can't SM report the image size?

  • Image I don't know, what your problem is. But, it works correctly for me.
    As you can see with this example:



    Image



    Image





    Edit:
    if I use 'page info' on the mozillaZine home page, what you say happens.
    Using the above image (the image size is NOT displayed) as an example:


    Image



    full screen

The fetch happens async. Usually when you click again it is updated. This is basically the same code Firefox 60 or later used. But we might have a glitch here. I know that IanN and I fixed some stuff for it which was wrong in Firefox.

When you "Enable Memory Cache" in Preferences -> Advanced -> Cache the image size will be shown in properties

True that, hardys. Thanks.

It is odd that both cache options are off by default. How does SM even work w/o any cache??

What are the side effects of these 'debugging' options?

Both cache options are on by default.

Testing on a clean additional new testing profile would have told you that and indeed told you that your original problem lay in your profile and not with SeaMonkey, as you seemed to be assuming here.
