1 - Does this mod have any lossy or lossless image compression features?

Would be nice if these images were compressed in some way during the import.


2 - If I install this mod, does it AUTOMATICALLY start importing images from past posts, or do I have to initiate that import manually via the mod options?

3 - Does this mod import images AS POSTS ARE MADE, or are they imported via a cron-job throughout the day?

And how often does the cron-job run?

4 - Why are there 2 maximum post count options? I notice there are 2 screenshots, each with similar options. Are both options pages accessible via the mod, or is each one a screenshot from v4 and v5 of this mod?

5 - I'm on a semi-shared server (urljet) and have somewhere around 200,000 posts. Will this mod be too server intensive for me or do I just need to lower the maximum post count options? Also, what post count per run do you recommend?

Thanks dude, this looks awesome.

1. If you convert all images (option) then they become compressed with the jpg standard and also filtered against embedded scripts and other strange things.
2. Normally it starts alone.
3. cron; you can decide by changing the frequency
4. they are 2 screenshots depending on the mod version old/new. No vb5 tested yet but maybe it still works ...
5. It may be very server intensive, if you have a high parsing rate and a high number of posts at a single time. I would suggest to try this first on a small test environment. I also suggest to start with a small number of images. If you have an interval of 1 minute and 10 posts at each, it will catch up in about 15 days (1440 minutes x 10 x day). It depends a lot on how much your server can hold. On a professional dedicated server (4 core 3.4G) I have run this script with 1000 posts per minute with no noticeable problems.
