Why changing from jpg to png for the image file ?

broulik added a subscriber: broulik.Mar 6 2019, 6:33 PM

Can't we just go SVG with the icon?

Why changing from jpg to png for the image file ?

I only had a png version in my hard drive, but if it's a problem I can convert the png in a jpg.

Can't we just go SVG with the icon?

I tried this first but khtml didn't look like it support svg.

Why changing from jpg to png for the image file ?

The logo is just 2 colors, and the PNG is smaller than the JPEG, without introducing artifacts. I would definitely prefer a PNG here.

ognarb updated this revision to Diff 53541.Mar 9 2019, 8:44 PM

Use png instead of jpg

ognarb updated this revision to Diff 53542.Mar 9 2019, 8:47 PM

Change png image

bruns added a comment.Mar 9 2019, 8:59 PM

Is it intentional the PNG is 129x129 while the JPEG is 128x128?
Also, the JPEG shold be removed.

I have no idea why 129x129. I used convert to convert the svg to png, just like I did with the jpg. But I will investigate this issue

Also, the JPEG shold be removed.

I'm not sure, but I think this will be a problem with some documentations where the html wasn't regenerated, because the html wasn't regenerated the image element will link to a deadlink.

ognarb updated this revision to Diff 53544.Mar 9 2019, 9:28 PM

Use a 128x128 png image

ognarb added a comment.Mar 9 2019, 9:29 PM

Lol 128x128 png image 6kb, 129x129 png image 2kb

Lol 128x128 png image 6kb, 129x129 png image 2kb

The new PNG is fuzzy, thats probably the reason it does not compress well.

Try exporting it with inkscape, and check if the vertical/horizontal edges are pixel grid aligned.

ognarb updated this revision to Diff 53545.Mar 9 2019, 9:42 PM

Use inkscape to generate png

bruns added a comment.Mar 9 2019, 9:44 PM

and now, apply optipng and you are down to 2kB

ognarb updated this revision to Diff 53546.Mar 9 2019, 9:46 PM

Apply optipng. Thanks @bruns I learned something new :D.

@ognarb i don't really have much to say here, my comment was just about a new file being introduced that seemed unnecessary.

I'd say you want @ltoscano for someone that probably knows a bit about docs.kde.org code and maybe someone from VDG to say if it's prettier than before?

rooty added a subscriber: rooty.Mar 10 2019, 10:21 AM

Can you make it use Noto Sans by any chance?

On the graphical side I'm not the most qualified to talk :)
Apart from the VDG, I'm sure that @yurchor can give some hints, as he manages the templates used to generate the PDFs.

From the technical point of view, I wouldn't remove any of the exiting files right now, at least not until KF6. I'd suggest using new names, just to avoid the possible confusion between the old top-kde.jpg and the new top-kde.png.

I have no objections. This part is not used for PDFs, btw. ;)

  • Add deleted image
  • Rename top-kde.png to kde.png
  • Fix strange margin issues for some elements

@rooty The font can be changed in the khelpcenter settings. But it's strange that it doesn't use Plasma settings per default.

Can you please not overwrite top-kde.jpg too, or at least use the same size? Because the change of size may be a problem for existing users (if any, but I consider those files as part of the public interface of KDocTools

No, wait a minute. What happens with pages which are not regenerated?

No, wait a minute. What happens with pages which are not regenerated?

They use the old link for the image, also the jpg version instead of the png. I tested with new page and old page and the result is visually the same.

But do the existing pages use the old link for the image with the new CSS?

Yes the link to the css didn't change, only the content. So even the old page links to the new CSS.

In any case, please change the commit message. When this is committed and rechecked in one year from now, the aspect of the linked website may not be relevant anymore and the images are not visible when you run git log.
Please describe what the change is about. https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/

Ok, so let's back one minute, and maybe it was the case in the original review, despite what myself and other people suggested, what if:

  • the changes to the XSL files are reverted
  • top-kde.jpg is rewritten using the same size of the original, and of course same format. No need to add the new kde.png. You may want to add it, but same format, so that we can switch in KF6.

This should ensure no unexpected changes if any user expect the image to be that size, and both newly-generated pages and the old ones will have the same aspect.

Sorry if it was the case in the first review.

The point about the commit message is still valid.
