Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multimedia and Commons/Fix CropTool

Random proposal ►◄ Multimedia and Commons The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Fix CropTool

Problem: Lossless cropping of images using the CropTool does not work. Crop of TIFF, GIF, and PDF files does not work, and files with high resolution can only be rotated by 90, 180, or 270 degrees.
Proposed solution: Find a new maintainer for the CropTool.
Who would benefit: Everyone

Asking the Community Tech team to help fix these issues seems like a more actionable request. Anyone can call for new maintainers on the Commons village pump / mailing list / etc. If that doesn't work, I am not sure what a WMF team could do that would have more chance of working. --Tgr (talk) 02:51, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Prorably it is interface to jpegtran utility. It allows only rotating JPEG by moving bytes. ¬¬¬¬ — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Svetlov Artem (talk) 18:58, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- rotating small images by any angel work just fine. Maybe it is a memory issue, as it can rotate a 9000 x 9000 pixel image by 90 degrees, but not by 91 degrees. There was an example image in the croptool talk page, but the archiver bot archived it. --C.Suthorn (talk) 08:21, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is a basic tool; it should be maintained by the WMF (or at least with support available if the author requests) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:52, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
