Hey Stefan,
First of all, thanks for your great app! :D

As I downloaded the latest Version of Image Shrinker to minify my website images I now have discovered an issue, which I can't get solved, even after a clean install of the app.

Issue:
Settings in the "Preferences" are ignored.
"Minified" folder is created after I drag and drop my JPGs on "Image Shrinker".
Also a ".min suffix" is added to all the files.

My settings:

• "Save shrinked files in same folder = activated
• "Add .min suffix" = deactivated
• "Add subfolder "minified"" = deactivated

OS: macOS High Sierra – 10.13.6

100/before*(before-after)

App throws an error, if it adds a missing directory. Image writing should start when dir is added

If IS is not started they following error occurs at dragging images on the icon:

Hey there, did not use the app. Just noticed in your slideshow the above mentioned spelling mistake. For your convenience check out the conjugation of the verb shrink here:

Cheers, Martin

Switch from electron-packer to electron-builder for building and deploying to all platforms.

When shrinking, resize to 000px X 000px would be helpful.

EDIT:
eather max_width or max_height would be enough.

During npm install at the end I had some warnings. All seemed optional, but would be nice to clean that up if possible? Done on Ubuntu 17.10 64-bit:

How can I install this app by command brew cask install image-shrinker

Image Shrinker's package.json says:

My understanding of package.json syntax is that this will use any svgo version up to but not including 2.0.0.

Image Shrinker 1.6.4 was released October 2020 at which time the current version of svgo was 1.3.2. Today in June 2023 the current version of svgo is 3.0.2.

Maybe it's time to release a new version of Image Shrinker with updated versions of svgo and any other of its dependencies that have had new releases?

Hi,

First, thank you for this brilliant idea :-)

While using your app I have noticed a problem with files which have uppercase extensions. My Panasonic Lumix camera uses file names like that by default, for example P112233.JPG and not p112233.jpg. When I drop such file onto the application, it shows warning that only SVG, PNG and JPG files are allowed. Once I change the file extension to lowercase, it's accepted and shrunk without any problems.

I'm using the application on Mac OS High Sierra v.10.13.4

Due to breaking changes in electron-settings auto-update stopped working.

It seems that the compression is lossy? This is a PNG logo I compressed the other day.

Original:

Shrunk file, note the staircase effect:

(In Nextcloud for example we use Trimage for compression of JPG/PNG and scour for compression of SVG, which are both lossless and have not had issues. Lossy compression like SVGO and others have always led to issues, so we avoid them.)

Especially for SVG it needs to be not lossy since they are often the source files. If some of the methods used in Image Shrinker are lossy and others not, maybe a switch to "Compress even more! (smaller files but lossy compression)" or the like is best?

Hey, I found a typo on the website https://image-shrinker.com/ in the word "immediately" ("Immediatly!").

Now, I know grammar nazis are not liked very much on the internet, but if it's not on purpose (some pun I missed?) and you didn't know about it, I just wanted to let you know.

Have a good one!

I'm trying to shrink this 2.5M image, and I get the error below, but at the same time my file is reduced to zero bytes, although the "Add .min sufffix" is enabled!

Image Shrinker version: 1.5.0
macOS version: 10.14.6

Add a new setting: "Add .min suffix to shrinked file"

Steps to reproduce

1. open Image Shrinker 1.6.4
2. select "About Image Shrinker" from the Image Shrinker menu
3. select "Preferences" from the Image Shrinker menu

Result

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'webContents' of undefined

wondering about getting support for gifs. I've done it with gifsicle here: #47 but any other ideas?

It would be nice to have the possibility to choose a folder in which the shrinked image will be saved.

Rework app icon

Add in settings "check for update now"

For some reasons parallax is not smooth anymore. Because of absolute positioned elements?

current version (1.5.0) is not working properly (problem with zero bytes jpgs)
the bug is already fixed but there is no update on the release channel.

please post a new version. thanks!

The link provided to 1.6.5 (https://github.com/stefansl/image-shrinker/releases/download/v1.6.5/image-shrinker-1.6.5.dmg) download is not working.

https://github.com/electron/spectron

Add new option "Save shrinked images to subfolder".

Use open-file event in Electron

Steps to reproduce

1. In System Preferences > General, set "Show scroll bars" to "Automatically based on mouse or trackpad" and attach a mouse, or set it to "Always"
2. Launch Image Shrinker 1.6.4
3. Convert a batch of several images (5 or more?) so that the results window has scrollable contents
4. Use the mouse to drag the scroll thumb

Result

The window moves instead of the scroll bar thumb, as if I had dragged the window's titlebar.

Icon is not visible on Touchbar

When choosing "where to save"-folder, create new folder is needed.

see https://github.com/electron/electron-api-demos/blob/master/auto-updater.js

Why isn't this app available for other platforms (linux/windows)? It was made using electron, so it can be cross platform

Add a "latest shrinks" list under the "Drag files here" field. Users can quickly jump to their recently shrinked images.

On Linux (Arch, 64bit) the app opens with a blank page and calling it from terminal it prints the following error:
APPIMAGE env is not defined, current application is not an AppImage

Would be great to see this fixed. :)

Focus window .focus()

Love this app! A tiny change that would help the UX a bit would be some indication that a file is done being compressed. There's some tiny text above the file name already (e.g. "You saved 55%"), but it doesn't read as a success message. A little checkmark icon or something on the right would make it crystal clear.
