Thumbnail requests keep going after picking image, slowing down the CMS
Is there a reason your using Url instead of the standard ContentReference and UIHint.Image for picking images?
Dec 14, 2018 16:36
When I open an image picker from a Url property in the All Properties editor and navigate to a folder with a lot of images in it, Episerver requests thumbnails for all of these images. However, if I pick an image for the field before the thumbnails are loaded the HTTP requests are not cancelled. Because there are a limited number of concurrent requests, users on a high latency connection sometimes have to wait upwards of a minute to simply select an image. There are close to 100 images in the folder, and while that is not optimal I think the requests should be stopped as soon as the dialog is closed. Is this something we can do, or should I report a bug for this?
Example pagetype that shows this behaviour:
namespace Test {[ContentType(DisplayName = "Test", GUID = "d8c26331-55c2-4d37-ab5a-4e0713b1321e", Description = ""]
public class Test : BlockData
{
[UIHint(UIHint.MediaFile)]
public virtual Url TestImage { get; set; }
}
}
