Image previews downloading Issue

[dominic248]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Bookmark website links that load too slow when there is more traffic or any other reason (sometimes preview images are more than 1MB). Sample: https://gta5-mods.com
2. "Enable Preview Images" is enabled, but some links have "Preview image file" as NULL in Django admin and "Queued Task" is 0
   
3. Disable "Enable Preview Images" in Settings and click on "Save"
4. Enable "Enable Preview Images" in Settings and click on "Save", "Queued Task" is generated and image preview is available for those links
   

Feature requests:

• Option to load previews from original site to save disk space
• Or combo of both (offline/online previews) at bookmark level and not user settings level

The new features in latest version are great! Thank you so much!
Cheers!

Can you please try to replicate the issue with a specific URL, and then post the logs from background_tasks.log? You can find that file in the linkding Docker container.

Sure Sascha,

I've reproduced it for 1 of the links on 'test' username:
background_tasks.log

Disabled "Enable Preview Images" in Settings and click on "Save". Then re-enabled "Enable Preview Images" in Settings and click on "Save".

Performed the above disable-enable step 2 times to get the image downloaded.
