Re: Client side image resize

But what if we could save bandwidth at upload time?
Reading the page linked from the page you linked:
// Enable image resizing, except for Android and Opera,
// which actually support image resizing, but fail to
// send Blob objects via XHR requests:
So, that particular solution won't work on mobile, but it's also 3 years old, so maybe now something works. Needs testing. *nods*
Questions: Is it worth it?
It is interesting to try for sure. It may be more consistent, but it may be more browser-dependant (as usual).
What is needed to get this done properly?
At the moment I'm not sure.
The drag&drop interface has already a "trigger" function and the concept of events, it has just a couple that I used to plug-in the sharing thingy, but the concept can be extended easily, sort of hooks basically.
Do we need to check or install any software before hands?
Likely some javascript library.
Can this software be immediately used in ElkArte without much hacks?
Who knows.
