We’re thinking of changing our setting for max image size kb, as we we started out with it quite high and need to save some S3 costs. I wanted to check my understanding before hitting the button. I think this setting on setting only gets applied to new uploads? Is there a way to resize existing uploads to use the new max value (e.g. resize the originals of anything over the max)? I’m was sort of hoping something like bundle exec rake posts:rebake would do it (maybe)? If that wouldn’t work, what’s the best approach here? An older build of discourse had a Rails script/downsize_uploads.rb but I think that’s gone from github now? Is there anything else or is my best bet just to use that code on a more recent Discourse - I think it uses megapixel as the constraint rather than kb? Thanks for any help/advice.

We have client compression working and it does really well at keeping the image sizes down since it was introduced. We’ve been live with Discourse since about May 2015, and probably never changed the max image size before so that rask task looks ideal - thank you!

Apologies in that I can’t sign the CLA due to my work, so without a PR wanted to pass on that.. lib/tasks/uploads.rake 1d42cc94a # For example, if you want 4 concurrent scripts use WORKER_COUNT=4 # and WORKER_ID from 0 to 3. # # START_ID # Skip uploads with id lower than START_ID. task "uploads:downsize" => :environment do min_image_pixels = 500_000 # 0.5 megapixels default_image_pixels = 1_000_000 # 1 megapixel max_image_pixels = [ ARGV[0]&.to_i || default_image_pixels, min_image_pixels ].max ENV["VERBOSE"] = "1" if ENV["INTERACTIVE"] def log(*args) puts(*args) if ENV["VERBOSE"] end puts "", "Downsizing images to no more than #{max_image_pixels} pixels" ..needs to be ARGV[1], otherwise it’s always using 500_000 regardless of what’s passed in. Thanks again for the pointer to the right task, all files resized and working great. :heart:
