Suggestion: optimize image before uploading (using pngcrunch or similar)

Closed this issue · 3 comments

It would be nice to have captured automatically optimize images before uploading them by running them through pngcrunch or a similar script. Maybe this could be an option in the config file?

Admittedly, it would take a little longer before the images would start uploading, but bandwidth is saved when the compressed image gets uploaded + every time someone views the image online.

Mother nature will love you for implementing this!

My biggest concern about this feature is adding dependencies for an otherwise transparent feature. Seems like something that might be good if we could detect and use if present.

Is including it into captured not an option then? You could use a submodule for that, like this.

I think I am gonna keep is simple and stupid for now. This might be something worth going into Captured for Mac.
