[TYPO3-dam] Problem with image scaling in DAM/RTE

[Meyer, Sebastian]

Hi Ben,

No, I am using RTE "htmlarea" version 1.7.9 which is bundled with TYPO3 v4.2.6.

> Is use of DAM enabled in DAM extension config?

Yes, it's enabled in DAM extension config and disabled in RTE extension config as it is proposed in the DAM documentation.

> Do you have this behaviour in another site as well?

Unfortunately I don't have another site which uses DAM.

Since the PHP function flock() does not work on NFS filesystems, I have patched the DAM functions lock() and unlock() in lib/class.tx_dam_indexing.php. At my site both functions do nothing but returning "true". I can't imagine, but maybe this causes the problems? These are the only changes I made to the original DAM 1.1.1.

Greetings,
Sebastian
