Compression for Uploads

[GMIC]

After much confusion I have realised that the image compression settings within IP Board are for dynamic images. I know you can restrict max image size per group but this is dependent on the user being able to resize images prior to upload.

Is there any thought into creating a feature similar to Gallery where a default max upload size can be set per user group and any images uploaded over that limit will be compressed to that size. This is a really useful feature and would help users who are not familiar with image resizing or too lazy to resize prior to posting.

Image attachment resizing, restrictions etc have been requested for the last 6 years or so that I've been using IPB. It's certainly doable as there was a mod for IPB 3.1 that did all this.

Resizing and compression are two very different functions. I was confused until I read 3DKiwi's reply.
