true, but unavoidable. brickshelf was designed, as far as I know, to
host picture (photoes) of lego creations, meetings, etc... since those
are pictures that weren't generated by a computer, they will almost
always be better compressed as jpgs... while I guess Kevin can write a
script to create both kinds of thumbnails, and compare their sizes
(though I'd use PNG and not GIF), I very much doubt the diskspace saved
will be worth the cpu overhead...
Just my thoughts... :)
