Image crop making new version of cropped image after every save

Request Type:

Issue/Request: 

It seems that every time you save a node with an Image Crop field it saves a new version of the image… even if the image crop hasn’t changed. This isn’t necessarily a problem UNTIL the file name for the image gets too long and you can no longer save any changes to the page, as shown below:

The fix is to simply remove the image and upload the original again. I suspect that this is happening because automatic node revisions are enabled.

It’s very frustrating… especially from the content editor’s perspective. Is there a fix for this?

(FYI: I’ve already fixed it at the URL provided)

Hello Sam,

This seems to be a known but with Image Crop that is yet to be resolved (See Drupal.org). You can try using Manual Crop to see if that works better for you. I’ve put this in our Bug List so that we can track it.
