sorethumb's Issues

Sorethumb strips EXIF data

The filters are each passed an instance of a PIL Image, but that image is 
created with:

  Image.open(image_path).convert('RGB')

and the use of .convert() appears to strip the EXIF data from the object, 
removing the ._get_exif() method and leaving it in an apparently unusable state 
in .info.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I think I've got the latest, as I just ran `hg clone`

Please provide any additional information below.

I'd recommend removing the .convert() and instead attaching it to a each of the 
filters specifically.

RectangularCropFilter calculated wrong width for landscape images

using r7f73a6c089 I think I found a problem in the RectangularCropFilter.

Using the filter on Images which are more landscape then the desired ratio the 
filter produces very tall images in portrait format instead of the desired 
landscape ratio (in my case).

Changing line 186 in defaultfilters.py from:

new_width = int(ceil(current_height / self.ratio))

to:

new_width = int(ceil(current_height * self.ratio))

solved the issue for me.

Better pink image bebug info

When sorethumb can't generate the thumbnail, it returns a pink image. This is 
good in telling you that something is wrong, but it is hard to tell what 
exactly is causing the pink image. There should be a warning or something 
issued so when debugging pink images, you have something to go by.

We use sorethumb at work, can I can't even begin to count the number of hours 
we've spent fixing the "pink thumbs error". Sometimes is a bad path, sometimes 
it's PIL compiled without libjpeg support, sometimes its something completely 
different...
