Last few days have been 3.4GB and today’s backup is reporting 3.3GB - is this normal or does it sound like something’s up? I don’t recall any large (or image) threads being deleted..

[imagen] AstonJ: Also… what about storing images outside of the DB? ( Images are stored outside the DB already! Going forward you can lower max image size and megapixels on your forum to avoid the large images. But fixing the history here… I am not sure if we have a rake task for that quite …

[imagen] AstonJ: Will that mean they get resized automatically, or will users be told the images are too big and they need to resize themselves first? Try it out, we attempt to downsize on upload automatically to match the megapixel value you are allowing.

The images are resized for display but the original is always stored for retrieval, so it is not going to help your storage. Your best solution is to store the images in an online bulk storage like S3.

Automatic downsizing of originals AND history is definitely an opt-in feature we want to fully support.

That’s true. That setting will prevent a large image from being uploaded at all. However, I think @AstonJ may be asking that if there is a feature in the system to: Accept an image upload from the user (up to some reasonable upper limit of course) Auto-resize that image to some max size (e.g. 10…

That’s already the case.. if you specify a max allowed, the images can’t be larger than that. I think it is in megapixels, so it’s about dimensions rather than absolute filesize, but the effect is the same. Rule 3 is met. There’s only so big a 128 x 128 image file can be, in bytes :wink:

I can definitely see a real use case for: Hell no… we are not an image storage service, maximal size of every image on the forum is 500K, we will drop fidelity till we get there on all of history… sorry everyone. I get that many forums that tire of giant old backups may may want to go down this …

Right but we have exactly that feature it is just gated on pixel dimensions, not filesize per se. Remember we have to deal with pasted in images too.

¿Hay alguna razón por la que las copias de seguridad diarias reduzcan su tamaño?

What do you mean? Set a max image size in your site settings and that is indeed the max image size.
