Supressing the creation of shareimage.jpg
Posted: 8 Aug 22, 23:33

Hi,

I recently upgraded my site from using tiger V2 to tiger V3.

Now i notice that for each folder an additional shareimage.jpg image is created. The size of the image corresponds to image size specified in the Advanced settings, Social sharing image dimensions.

Is there a way to suppress the creation of these files? I am not using any of the social media options in the Site - Social options, only email and URL which don't seem to need the image.

Thanks for any feedback.

No, the skin always generates those files (along with several others), whether they're needed or not. You can choose the smallest size setting for them, but even with the defaults, they're only a little bigger than a typical thumbnail, and there's only one per folder. In short, probably not worth worrying about.

Jeff,

thanks for the clarification.

I am still not happy with the answer but there are worse things in life to worry about.

I hesitate to mention that the skin also coughs up a lot of files in the res output that aren't actually needed for the album.

What resource files are needed depends, of course, on the options you've chosen, and on what objects are in the album. In my skins I try to control that, so I know how tricky it can be to do so.

Yes, most other systems (e.g WordPress) are working with 90-99% ~~trash~~ unnecessary code. Most of jAlbum albums' files are useful, and shareimage.jpg makes up just 0.1-1% of the total amount.
