Hi all! Single thumbnail file is quite small, but when we have bunch of them it could be a problem; recently I discovered, that size of my .thumbnails directory was 2GB.
I've tested very simple method to reduce size of thumb pngs - before save a file, n lower bits of each pixel component is reset. Of course this cause lost of some information, but thumbnails are just... thumbnails, and I think it is not problem for anyone. My quick tests with patched geeqie show significant reduction of size: for n=3 - 20-30% less, for n=4 - 40-50%. w. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel
