Add your own thumb generator not working

[caplod]

Description

I have big problems with animated gifs in the panel. The whole server gets unresponsive trying to resize the gifs with imagemagick.

So I want to code my own thumb generator to ignore gifs.

I placed the example code from the documentation https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/plugins/components/thumb
into this location /site/plugins/thumbs/index.php

Expected behavior
Since I didnot write any Code for myThumbGenerator (what in the end I am trying to do) I expect to get an error.
But the Code never gets executed. I even placed a die;

Your setup

Kirby Version
3.9.8.1

It sounds what you are experiencing is the result of Kirby's async thumb generation.

When the initial requests runs Kirby's code, it's not the thumb component, but the file::version component getting called. Which creates .job files with all the instruction for the required modifications to the image (also name etc.).

When the actual image URL is then called, Kirby looks up if there is an already processed thumb available, or - if not - if a .job file is present. With the info from the job file, it then runs the thumb component to generate the actual thumb file.

But this is why you won't see your initial request be interrupted by die() as the thumb component will only be called on the individual image requests, not the main request.
