New on the marketplace : Image Optimizer V2

I have just release a new module on the marketplace today: Image Optimizer V2

History

The first version has been developed by MIKAEL HÖGBERG is available here. Here is his blog post about it: http://mikael.com/2013/08/image-optimizer-module/ A very big thank you for this module!

New features

This version 2 is now based on jpegtran and pngquant to compress the pictures but you can use your favorite tool if you prefer. The biggest addition of this module is a wizard similar to the publishing wizard which allow you to compress a complete folder in place of compressing picture per picture.

Installation

• Install the packages with the /sitecore/admin/UpdateInstallationWizard.aspx
• Download pngquant here: http://pngquant.org/ under the section "Command Line" / "Binary for windows" and save this file in the root of your data folder.
• Download jpegtran here: http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran.exe and save this file in the root of your data folder.
