I just installed SIG Pro. On a page with four images, it works fine, captions, thumbnails, everything. On a page with about 8 pictures, I get the error message:

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in..."

And then a directory listing. Can someone tell me why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks!

Also, I should mention that this was working fine before I installed SIG Pro.

ALSO also :) if I only have six images in the gallery, it works fine; if I add a seventh and eigthth, it crashes. I'm assuming there is some sort of memory overflow? Can someone confirm this?

Otherwise, it is working fine!

Another clue: it appears that it is just two images that are crashing it, and they are about 100k and 200k in size, respectively.

I've tried it on pages with:

1. Six images (works)

2. Seven images (works)

3. Twenty-three images (works)

4. Twelve images (works)

5. Four images (works)

This is all on the same host. For the original page with the trouble, all I did was resize the images (they were roughly 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024, respectively) down to about 50%, and now they work in the page.

So this leads me to believe that it has to do either with an error with images over a certain resolution, or that the resolution affected the file size in such a way that it caused a memory error. As to whether this is something within the programming for the mambot, or an issue with the server...no idea, you're the experts. :)

Yup, I use Irfanview too a lot, though in this case I used Adobe Photoshop (which hopefully doesn't have any JPEG compression bugs).  :)
