Preview Mode Isn't Working On Some Listings

3.5 GB doesn’t sound like too much. Unless you are on a very slow internet connection, it should be feasible to upload it to Dropbox over night.

How big is this folder, if you compress it as a zip file?

The problem isn’t slowness. It’s that the listing file is more than 11 gigs, and It cannot be previewed. Or uploaded as a relisted item. And the photograph, according to GS/eBay, cannot be found.

Again: The LISTING is 11+gigs.

Here is a very short, no-sound video of the display of contents, which is quite likely causing my problem, which is that the photo goes away and I cannot preview it or relist it.

The com.iwascoding.garagesale7 folder when it’s compressed is 2.82 gigs.

Can you please upload the compressed file via this link:

And please also let me know the name of a listing that is acting weird when exporting or looking at the preview.

Sure. The com.iwscoding.garagesale7 file from Library/Containers (3.5 gig)?

Or the one of just one listing (11.1 gigs)?

Yes, please upload the 3.5 Gigs of the complete library folder. Hopefully I can see what’s causing the big exported file. And don’t forget to let me know the name of a listing for which you saw the big file when exporting.

Ilja, I started loading the fild a bit more than 2 hours ago.

Now, I don’t care, really, how long it takes, but I’m a bit worried that something must be wrong…

It’s 14% uploaded now.

No worries. Uploading a 3GB file over standard internet line just takes that long.

Ok. Good.

Can you tell me if it’s uploaded? I went to sleep around 3:00 and it was at 22%. Came down this morning and I can’t tell whether it did or did not finish.

(I have started uploading it again in case it didn’t go.)

Sorry, doesn’t look like the file made it through. Can you give it another try?

Ok.

(Sorry. It wants more words before it will let me post.)

Ok. It’'s at 84%. and I’m going to trust that it makes it the rest of the way.

Good night.

Thank you so mutch. I see the file on Dropbox now. Will download and check it today.

Yay!

The listing is called:

1938 Printing of “Our Shelter” by Josephine Worthington & Catherine Frank

Can you please give this version a try and check if it lets you export a listing without producing an insanely huge file:

http://downloads.iwascoding.com/downloads/GarageSale_7_2017-01-23_3.dmg

Why, yes! 26,908 bytes (29 KB on disk).

Can you please also check if the preview now works again for those listings, where it previously didn’t?

Sadly, it doesn’t show previews for those which were previously not showing. :frowning:
