Thanks for the reply Alex!
I did as you suggested… Same outcome…
For the first time I got a red HTTP error message that I did not see before… You can also see that the “crunching” message is “frozen” and I am forced to abandon the upload by clicking off the media upload screen…
One of the screen grabs shows how the media loader (with WP SMUSH.IT enabled) is unable to accurately process the image to capture the proper size…
The third screen grab shows that the actual image is uploaded and the thumbnails are created (but media library is still hosed because it does not know the “actual” dimensions of the image)
This screen grab shows the media library BEFORE I attempt to SMUSH manually and this screen grab shows the media library error message AFTER I attempt to SMUSH manually (resulting in the could not find message discussed above)…
I hope some of this info helps to debug… I am forced to deactivate WP SMUSH.IT as it literally prevent my Media Library from functioning whatsoever.
Once again, thanks for the prompt response and a GREAT plugin!
