screenshot file size

Post by Nexarius »

I've tested out the screenshot feature and it's really making great screenshots but the file sizes are insane.
/c game.take_screenshot{resolution = {x = 16384, y = 16384}, zoom = 2, show_entity_info = true}
That resolution is the maximum possible and it generated a 450(!) MB png image.
I converted and compressed that image down to 35 MB without losing quality.
This is the 35MB jpg (sry can't show you the png don't want to upload 450MB).

This is a zoomed in comparison after I compressed it.
I don't think anyone would complain if all screenshots done by the command would "only" look like the jpg.

I'm not an expert at image compression and I managed to reduce the size by more than 90% at the first try. I'm sure it can be done even better.
Could you please add image compression to the screenshot command?
