The app consume TOO MUCH mobile data #139

Closed Terkyz closed 1 month ago

Terkyz commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug Sometimes I just want to search scroll through e621 using e1547, but 5 minutes scrolling consume easily 500MBs of data, and I don't have a unlimited plan so that's a lot for just 5 minutes.

To Reproduce

  1. Open the app, using mobile data.
  2. Just scroll a while.
  3. Check how many data had used the app.

Expected behavior If I understand correctly, e1547 load the version of the image instead of the default and that consume a dramatic amount of data... I'm not sure if there's something that can be done to fix this, but I hope so.

Hi @Terkyz

We have done an investigation and concluded that unfortunately, the app is working just as intended. The app uses "sample" pictures (~800px) instead of "preview" pictures (~150px). Those sample pictures are around 200kb when large. For 500 mb you can roughly scroll through 2500 pictures. One page of JSON data from e6 is ~250kb.

The "preview" pictures are too small for the grid view of most phones and will look blurry. Therefore, we cannot "fix" this issue. We are very sorry!
