Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug

Issue: self hosted piwigo rejects image upload due to nginx client_max_body_size
Solution: adjust server's client_max_body_size

Bug: darktable does not report any error and pretends image has been uploaded successfully

Steps to reproduce
  1. on nginx, set client_max_body_size to 1MB
  2. export 1 JPEG with size > 1MB
  3. nginx blocks upload
  4. darktable says: 1/1 exported successfully
Expected behavior

return error; 0/1 exported successfully

Research direction

Reproduce the export through a Piwigo server using nginx with client_max_body_size set to 1MB, then inspect the Piwigo export error handling in darktable. Done means an upload rejected by nginx is reported as an error and the export count shows 0/1 rather than success.
