Task: Unused image scanner #1

Open kfbishop opened 11 years ago

Task: Can we come up with a scanner tool to locate unused (unreferenced) image files.

Reasoning: Images are major contributor to large mobile install packages. Unused and/or overly large images need to be identified.

Process:

Collect list of all images in project
Scan source files (HTML,JS,CSS) for references.
Any unreferenced images are reported.
Secondary scan lists any images above a given threshold size (eg. 100k)

a similar kind of scanner may be able to alert for where CSS sprites or icon fonts could potentially be used. (many small images referenced within selectors named for different states.
