Image Resizer for Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey

Shrunked is an extension that resizes your photos before you upload them to a website or email them. It greatly reduces the time spent waiting for photos to upload.

For Firefox users

It shrinks an image to the appropriate size and saves it in a temporary folder. That file then gets uploaded to the website. You'll barely notice.

You can get Shrunked from addons.mozilla.org. It's for Firefox 3.5+.

For Thunderbird and SeaMonkey users

Shrunked can resize your image attachments (and inline images, from v2.7) so that you can email your holiday snaps to friends and family without waiting all day for them to send.

"Help! It's broken!"

There's been a few issues with Shrunked lately which are proving very hard to pin down. Most notably is the progress window stalling when sending email.

Some things you should try:

• Make sure you're using the latest version. Also if you're not using the beta version (ie. your Shrunked version only consists of numbers), you should try it. Go to the AMO page and click on 'beta channel', about half-way down.
• In the config editor (see below) set javascript.options.showInConsole to true. Try to use Shrunked, then check the error console (Tools > Error Console) for messages. If you find any that might apply, email me.
• Set extensions.shrunked.options.resample to false. This disables the image resampling code added in v2.5. See if it works now.
• Set extensions.shrunked.options.exif to false. This disables the EXIF handling code added in v2.6.

To go to the config editor: for Firefox and SeaMonkey users, go to about:config; Thunderbird users go to Thunderbird Options/Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor.
