Marking this broken for time being.

I’m not sure when I will get around to investigating this.

Is the Theme component broken or the sidecar Plugin?

The component works really well. For me, any way. It is the sidecar that is broken.

My bad. I forgot mention it.

It’s something to do with rebuilding the rmagick gem.

An online rebuild seems to work.

FYI in any case this Theme Component is about to require a massive refactor due to changes to the Topic List. I can’t guarantee that will be ready in time, but I will try as use it myself.

@Jagster online update definitely works … have no idea why, maybe the gem is cached?

If you need to, restart your container and perform an online update.

I hadn’t any real reason to do upgraiding, so starting app did the job. And honestly… in my case I’m not sure if I really need the sidecar for anything.

But good to know.

it’s mainly useful for YouTube thumbnails, topic list based actions … and currently dominant colour.

Yeah, that it was… all those plugins that doesn’t need any love and caring, after a while I don’t even remember any more why I had such one in use :joy:

If someone wants to try this they are welcome, I’ve not had chance yet:

This is fixed now (plugin rebuild) as the reliance on the rmagick gem has been removed and the plugin refactored to accommodate.

Note there is still loads of work to do to resolve the deprecations of the Theme Component and this is partly waiting on the kind efforts of David to extend the new Topic List API in core.

For now I’ve removed the broken tag.

Hi Robert @merefield

How can I remove the topic summary description?
I installed the sidecar plugin and although I set the value to zero, it appears even if there is one letter.

Images are distorted when I reduce thumbnail size in list view
looks very clear in mobile view
is there a setting to make the thumbnails clearer?
