  • Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the filter-media bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: DS-3516
  • Discovered that the ImageMagic filter-media plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK
  • Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x’s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x’s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see 1056851999):
$ identify ~/Desktop/alc_contrastes_desafios.jpg

  • I need to file a Jira issue for sure
