Automatically generate regular images from retina (@2x) ones? #168

Closed silentbugs closed 6 years ago

silentbugs commented 6 years ago

Can spritesmith generate the simple images from the retina 2x ones that are provided? I tend to only have a retina version of an icon and would don't want to have to track all of my icons twice.

For scenarios like this, we recommend using a secondary grunt task to generate the normal sized images. Here are some plugins which can help with that:

@twolfson thanks for the response. Would it make sense to write a backend for grunt-spritesmith that resizes images, or do you think it's better to have it outside of grunt-spritesmith?

I'd prefer to keep them separate is practical for purposes outside of spritesmith. Someone could definitely wrap spritesmith with something that does resizing. However, that's more to maintain and a less frequent use case
