Automatic image compression (#396)

Unknown opened 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I send images from an iPhone (either from gallery or photos) they're very big (~4 MB). It would be nice if they were automatically compressed.

Describe the solution you'd like Compress all images so they're max 500 KiB. This could be configurable in the settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manual compression of images, or waiting for super-long upload speeds.

Thank you for suggestion. Most likely we will add a similar future, but instead of automatic compression, it would be better (in my opinion) to ask the user for expected file size (or image quality) as in some cases it is very useful or even required to have original files sent.

Good idea. I also want original quality images sometimes but for most cases (95%) I don't mind if my cat meme pictures are not in full HD :)

Feature is now part of a beta build released on TestFlight and will be part of upcoming version 6.1
