Thumbnail looks good but when I click on the image to get a better look, I get a black screen with the path to the image in white. FYI.
CF-29LTQ, CF-30FCS, CF-31SBM, CF-52GUN, CF-53AAG, HP Z420

Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!'

Nothing obvious. I will need to research further. I did a test and clicking the thumbnail on an image i added enlarged as usual.

Clicking on the photo results in a pitch black screen. Click on that pitch black screen results scale changes to a different resolution pitch black screen. :confused:
I am command line illiterate. :confused: I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list. :mad:

@PatriceLab
I would suggest you delete the image and re-add it.

Sorry but I kind of gave up,
That was a nightmare yesterday just to post this image here as there is no indication about the max size/weight which I learned the hard way with multiple tries as the forum just tells you it's too big without specifying the max size allowed.. which is below 300 kb that I've discovered with near the dozen's attempts I did, (yes I did read the rules for wallpapers and did not find the 300-kb limitation (BTW a link in this page brings me to a 404 page))
ksnip_20220712-102323.png
Thus in GIMP to be able to reach this very tiny size below 300kb I did activate "Use arithmetic coding" in the advanced option of JPG export in GIMP (contextual help says: older software may have trouble opening arithmetic coded image, though)

In the end if I may suggest...
let us post .webp image on the forum (I got an error >> invalid file extension).
-> FYI the same image.webp is only 132 kb with a way better quality than the 300 kb image.jpg
Increase to 500 kb per image on the forum (or at least the "Art" sub-forum) which is a minima on most forum with image/pics, or at least tell the user/member when it's too big what is the max size on the screenshot above, but please don't let us guess with trial and error.

Having said all that, a question remaining, how about 4k images?
I did open a new post for the image and maybe some more here >> https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 46#p689246
