David asked me to post this here.

David, this includes some ideas you have not read yet.

Hi David,
I just got this mail for reasons that you are not subscribed as david.squire to the bug list. By this I found out that I administer hte list, but I am not on it.

Are you able to add my new address? Monash email addresses have changed. Or should I just re-subscribe?

You should go through now (I set your address as "transmit" filter, I think this should do it). If next time you think there is a problem, just re-subscribe.
 

Any problem introduced would have to do with 64 bit support, I guess. Otherwise I think the code is blissfully untouched.

The feature extraction code has been changed enormously. I recall the guy doing it in 2006. I'm not sure that that explains all the observed issues though...

No, I think the issue 
would have to do with either

the sorting doing indexing going wrong

or

the lists 
not being read completely.

or.... simply the format written not 
corresponding to the format read.

I would check that first.

IN ADDITION to what was said in the mail, I think it could have something to do with the size of the thumbnail used for feature extraction.

THE COMMAND LINE OPTIONS OF IMAGE MAGICK HAVE CHANGED in the more recent versions. I would check that images are properly resized.


Cheers,
Wolfgang
