Hi guys.
I’ve just found out that '‘max image’ affect some bits I did not expect - I try to add a theme and I get: `Error creating upload asset: roboto. Filesize Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is too big `
What else is under influence of this variable, everything? & more importantly, should it be? I thought that was for “regular” users only. Thanks.

I think the setting you want is admin-settings `max upload size kb`. or is it an image?

I’ve only changed these two - with regards to limits that is
```plaintext
max image size kb
max attachment size kb
```
I set them to 128K and I get that value in the error message.

Perhaps someone else can also confirm but I think you can use the` !setting_context` command in rails to temporarily increase the site setting limits for admin.
