App db not accepting screen shots....

[Jonathan Ernst]

We already use gd which can do much the same as imagemagick (I don't
think we have imagemagic on the server). We are already resizing the
image if it's too big (pixels size, not byte size).

I already sent a patch long time ago which tells the user that the image
cannot be added because it's too big. It works locally but not on the
live server because there is another limitation that takes place before
the php code can handle the upload. I'll see if we can change the size
limit using the .htaccess file; otherwise we'll have to ask Jeremy to do
something about it.

I'll add something to make people aware that screenshot that containes
things like photos (games, etc.) should be compressed using jpeg and
that other files (normal apps) should better be compressed using png (as
it won't blur the text).

Thanks for the feedback.
