Preview resolution of covers and show highest resolution in another color
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Preview resolution of covers and show highest resolution in another color (green?) to pick fast.
I know this generates more traffic, but I open them manually in tabs anyway to compare.
I don't know if simply highest resolution is always best, as I know some stores do upscale images using various means, or some might use lossy compression
that said, definitely second showing resolution and filetype (and perhaps whether the filetype uses lossy or lossless compression)
Yeah, resolution only isn't always the best decision, but helps where to look first...instead of opening 3-4 tabs and not knowing what to expect first.
Another idea would be the presentation order after the check. Sort order only for resolution, but additionally filesize and format png/jpg shown. From left/highres to the right/lowres.
Quick example I have in mind:
Checking only the extension isn't sufficient, it seems. There are rare cases (so far only noticed on bandcamp) where mime-type is wrong, so the check should do this...again more traffic and latency :)
