Allow big image files

[martinstingl]

My phone makes photos with 9248x6936 pixels in default mode which results in files > 25 MByte.
I failed to upload a picture with that size, the Upload button does not work.
If necessary please shrink them automatically.

Hi, thanks for letting us know. 25mb seems like a lot of data. Is there any way you could decrease that when collecting data? It will probably take a long time to upload. We can and do resize the images during upload, but they have to be uploaded first. Down-sampling is needed on the device before uploading I think

Couldn't the shrinking been done by the app before upload if necessary?

@martinstingl I'm not sure. 25mb seems incredibly large. Can you decrease quality? @sudoDeznit do you know or do you have any ideas?

We can try to compress images on the app. for the start we can just compress images that are larger than our upload limit.
But will have to look into performance, we can give it a try.

Using the camera function inside OpenLitterMap there is no way to decrease the image resolution for me.
I got no error message that the upload does not work with that image, the button simply does not work.

Thanks for the report @martinstingl. OpenLitterMap is in development, we will try to address these issues in the next update
