Requesting for mangadex data saver feature to be included as an option.

[plokm21]

Mangadex has a feature that let's you swap to a lower quality version of the manga to save space it would be really useful for downloading manga.

is "download volume" or storage space your main concern? Have you seen other sources with similar features?

I'm asking this because I'm not sure how much sense a feature makes if it's only applicable to a single source. I also think it'd be worth separating the two concerns. Minimizing storage space by downscaling locally would be applicable to all sources.

It's storage space I use other sources but i just found about mangadex's feature and thought if it's possible to add it

[MariusAlbrecht]

well with storage space I imagine it's possible regardless of the source. Downscaling downloaded images locally before saving them is always possible. Is it fair to formalize the feature requested by this issue as follows?

When downloading chapters for offline reading, the user should have the option to reduce the quality of the images that actually get saved. This is to reduce the occupied storage space and can happen locally (meaning higher quality images can get downloaded, "wasting" bandwidth)
