Awesome, I like software with sensible decisions. Or justifiable support. Ah, that’s why I use Discourse…
Still wondering why backup sizes skyrocketed in one month for me. Maybe a lot of uploads, dunno.
Personally I pretty much always resize good pictures from 6M to 500K or around that with click-resizing (no auto, too risky).
The few times I really want to keep resolution I keep a copy myself.
Which of course begs the question, why not have an option to always “downgrade” uploaded images and never even keep the original? Site owner’s preference (percentage or whatever).
Optionally use software that uses smart downgrading (best option - image quality really is important sometimes).
Or to be really “nice”, keep the best image for a certain period of time and unless the original poster (or possibly someone reader) marks it as “not good enough”, toss the original.
