when viewing photos from the files folder i can manually adjust the icon size but when attaching to message the icons are so tiny its hard to see what photos i want to attach. heres an example. also every time i take a photo it saves two files. a jpeg and dng. jpeg is like 1.7 mb the dng is 26mb…

[image] lib52: dng is 26mb [image] Camera app picture location Librem 5 …but remember that these DNG files contain a much higher quality image than what you see in JPEGs coming from the default camera pipeline which is simple and fast rather than good lo…

[image] lib52: the dng is 26mb So if you are certain that you aren’t going to reprocess the DNG files, you can use the postprocess script (or a cron job) to wipe out the DNG files. Or if you haven’t reached that level of certainty, you can at least move the DNG files somewhere else. Again, …

Doesn’t data get written to µSD over a relatively slow USB link?
