Caty used a tool (I don't remember the name) to record the steps needed perform some action (e.g. insert and edit a wiki
macro through the
WYSIWYG)
as a GIF. Similar to what Guillaume did for
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Data/XWiki/
8.4.2/#HLocalizationSection
. Now, I see that Guillaume's GIF is 400kb
(compared to Caty's 2-3Mb) so
maybe there's a way to generate smaller GIFs, but it may require
reducing
the quality. In any case, I think they are
useful, but they do require
maintenance..
gifsicle does lossless GIF optimization, give it
a try.
It doesn't very help much. We have 6 GIFs between 1.7 and 5 MB, and 15.73
MB in total. After executing
gifsicle -O3 --no-extensions
the total size is reduced only by 0.16 MB, so we're still left with 15 MB
of GIFs.
I'll try to optimize the images also, which take
the rest of 7 MB.
With optimized GIFs and PNGs the size of the XAR is now 18.8 MB.
Thanks,
Marius
