Hello.

Gifcurry does not optimize using Gifsicle. It employs the optimizations afforded by ImageMagick. In most cases the Gifsicle file size reduction is only minimal (even with the "-O3" flag).

Still, if desired, I could add this extra step.

Thank you for commenting.

If you decide to implement optimizations beyond imagemagick's ones, you might want to consider other tools than Gifsicle:

- lossygif for small size, based on gifsicle, https://kornel.ski/lossygif

- Gifski for high quality, based on pngquant, (https://gif.ski/)

Both are made by Kornel Lesiński. Lossygif is actually result of a pull request being ignored by gifsicle maintainer(s) for years – more details in a recent HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16573627.

Hello.

Gifcurry controls the window size to maintain an accurate preview of the video (no added bars, wrong aspect ratio, etc.). This becomes important when cropping. If desired, I can add a preview size setting.

A preview of the text would be nice. This will be a future feature.

The upload buttons are shortcuts. This avoids having to maintain and distribute/reveal API keys. It also avoids having to keep the integration accounts in good standing.

The quality setting can reduce the final file size. Still, using your benchmark, I tweaked the optimization and pushed an update to the AUR.

The top end quality (100%) is not as nice but with a 55% reduction in file size, the appearance is still very acceptable.

You can also save the final GIF as a video.

Thank you for taking the time to review Gifcurry.
