[Suggestion] resize images for display
palitu opened this issue ยท 4 comments
Is it possible to resize an image for viewing in 'full screen'? I have some images which are in the order of 10Mb each.
- huge images are not good for mobile bandwidth
- longer load times
My suggestions is that the images a resized to a smaller resolution that is suitable for display on a screen. There are a number of dynamic methods of doing this, but the simplest implementation would be to have a configuration item which you set a static maximum size for the image. It could even be opt in/out. download would still be the original file.
This would require a little more work on part of the server, but should not be too onerous.
future improvements could be:
- create mediums during index
- dynamic sizes based on screen resolution
cheers
Hi
I was considering to resize/encode original media files.
Especially for videos since browsers can only play a very few codes + in case of a large file, no way to watch a video over my home internet.
For photos I'll do something similar what I do with the thumbnails. (like you can add certain resolutions, like 720p
, 1080p
, 4k
, infinite
and the app chooses the most appropriate one)
So I'll add this. But again no promise for a deadline. But I might take it with a higher priority, since its a relatively simple feature.

G'day Patrik,
just wondering if you have had a chance to look into this one?
No pressure if you havent, just curious.
cheers,
Hi,
Sorry but I got super busy with finishing up my PHD.
I'm still working on finishing #56.
Hopefully I'll have more time during the summer or during fall.
Best,
Patrik
Hi,
I have added this feature in one of the latest commits.
Should be part of soon-to-be-released v1.8.
There are several breaking changes both in docker and config. Read more here: https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/blob/master/docker/README.md
Best,
Patrik
