GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700351
wasteful images
Last modified: 2018-05-22 16:09:24 UTC
The empathy help includes several big pngs: figures/video_overview.png figures/conf_overview.png figures/croom_overview.png These are over 500K each, but are loaded at a small size of 150x150 in the docs. Please run convert conf_overview.png -resize 150x150 out.png; mv out.png conf_overview.png and so on, on these; it'll save quite a bit of space on space-constrained live images.

I have split the patch into 3 and uploaded here because bugzilla wouldn't take patches bigger than 1600KB. For the full single patch of all the above three changes see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5666392/plain/ I locally have the full single patch versions so I can push to master when confirmed. Thank you.
Looking at the help page, those images are currently quite small[1] which makes them actually very difficult to see, so they should be made larger on the help page. Instead of scaling, the correct fix here should be to use thumbnails as these are already small images. There is already an art bug filed for these, once that is fulfilled, the file sizes should be smaller than a scanned drawing. [1] https://help.gnome.org/users/empathy/3.9/overview.html.en

Yes, can one link to the larger versionn of the image from the mallard based help page? If so this can be done by us. In that case the 150x150 can be retained as thumbnails (renaming the files to reflect this status) and original sizes can be kept for the bigger view (via the link which we will include in the help page).
That doesn't really satisfy my original intention of saving space. If you really want to keep the big images, please consider converting them to jpegs - that saves quite a bit of space too.
Could someone from the doc team review those patches? thanks!
