Image resizing

[ieure]

When I try to post a toot containing an image, the image upload progress bar gets all the way to the end, then I get the error: "The upload failed."

This appears to be related to mastodon.social limits on image upload sizes. In Mastalab, I can configure it to resize to ex. 2mb, which works (even though it looks awful). Tusky doesn't appear to have a similar setting, and it should. The only way I can post an image with Tusky is to resize it in an image editor, which is so annoying that I just don't post at all.

• Tusky Version: 1.8.0

• Mastodon instance (if applicable): mastodon.social

• I searched or browsed the repo’s other issues to ensure this is not a duplicate.

Tusky already resizes images that are larger than 8mb, which is the default max image size for Mastodon.
Can you help me investigating this further? What is the exact size of your image? Does it only happen with big images or also with small icons?
I just tested to post with Tusky to mastodon.social on my devices, everything seems fine.

I've tried a few images. They're coming off the camera on the phone. Sizes of images that failed to post: 4.52mb, 6.74mb, 6.86mb.

I took a screenshot (202kb), and that posted fine.

Ahhhh I could reproduce it! Seems that not the filesize is the issue, but there is also a restriction on image dimensions. I will figure out what the limit is and adjust the resizing in Tusky accordingly. Thx for reporting!

For the record: The limit is 4096^2 pixels

Ah, yes, I totally forgot about it!
It could be nice if we could check it but we will break things like Pleroma a little then?

[connyduck]

I dont think we can break anything if we downsize more agressive than we do now?

I thought that he problem is ratio, not the size.

I thought that he problem is ratio, not the size.

That might be a separate issue, but I'm uploading normal images straight from my camera, so 4:6 or whatever close to rectangular images that produces.
