GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 256932
ability to resize image attachments in *composer*
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:37:15 UTC
Package: Evolution Priority: Wishlist Version: 1.2 Synopsis: Limiting Image Size in Drag-Drop Attachments Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: A suggestion for a simple but very-useful feature: automatic resizing of images that are drag-dropped onto the Composing a Message window: (1) An option in composer preferences could read: * Prompt for resizing when images over NNNN kb are dropped onto Composer window. (2) When an image over the set size was dropped, a resize dialog would appear. This could be simple ("Resize image to <100kb?") or complex (specify the resize options). The user should have the option of not resizing. This enhancement would make it far easier to e-mail images from multi-megapixel digital cameras without swamping out the mail queue or remote mailbox (the alternative is to open with gThumb or the Gimp, resize, Save As, then drag-and-drop). Unknown reporter: chris@global.proximity.on.ca, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
changing component to "Mailer" to get rid of the UI component, also reassigning as discussed with nags... adding UI keyword.
Apologies for any spam... cc'ing usability-maint on all Evolution usability bugs. Filter on EVO-USABILITY-SPAM to ignore.
still missing in 2.5.5; however this requires image manipulation stuff, perhaps this could be done by an eplugin depending on some image manipulation library. :-/

I would really appreciate a feature like this too. When sending an image with outlook, it wil recognise the attachment as an image and offers the choice to scale the image to a smaller size. I would like something similar (or the same) in Evolution too. Anyway, thanks a lot for Evolution as it is so far. I really love it. :)
Bumping version to a stable release.
After this was proposed for Evolution in 2004, it was implemented in Apple Mail. <http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/emailresize.html>

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
