Media manager - folder with many hi-res images create big download size #21936
Comments
TBH I think the best we might be able to do in the context of 3.x is stuff a lazy loading script into the media manager and media field so the penalty of those large folders is less extreme. With us starting to stabilize 3.x for LTS and 4.0 coming up (including a reworked media manager), I personally wouldn't suggest putting a lot of time and effort into large changes in the current system. |
Speedy reply. :) |

If we are mistaken and this does apply to Joomla 4 please open a new issue (and reference this one if you wish) with updated details for testing in Joomla 4. |

sectionSystem information (as much as possible)
You need a folder with many hi-res images.
I used one folder with 1184 images with circa 2000x1500 px. Size 438MB
Additional comments
All images in that folder are downloaded to show the thumbnails, In this case it took forever and 400MB.
I know this could be avoided by each item having his own images folder.
However, this is a real site, and the clients don't have the kind of knowledge we do and are usually difficult to predict.
It's my/our job to don't let situations like this occur. I can find a workaround in my end but this should be addressed in the com_media component.
I don't really have the answer but I'll leave some ideas:
This is my first time posting, Hope I'm not doing it wrong.
