Legacy Clean Up: Preview Files

[angus]

It´s possible to integrate a function that cleans up the \images\signatures folder ?

After 5 days in use there are already more than 200 files! A lot of these are empty ones (because of clicking the "Preview Signature" Button before setting the signature parts) or other preview files.
And I´m not sure how many completed sigs are really in use!

It´s pretty difficult to delete unnecessary files manually!

There isn't really a reason to do this unless you're really hurting for disk space (and if a few MB would make a difference, it's probably time for an upgrade ) but we'll take it into consideration regardless

Do not be afraid ... There is enough disk space available.

But why entrain a longer and longer becoming rat tail?

A clean up function belongs to offer a good product.

Because it'll recreate all those files the second they visit vbsignatures.php so there's really not much point to "cleaning them up"

Do you think there is no way to prevent the addon saving an empty preview image?
More than 50% of files in the /images/signatures/ folder are those empty ones.

Maybe you can disable the "Preview Signature" button until at least one signature part is equiped?

It's more of a question whether spending the development time to code workarounds like that is justified by the end result, my personal opinion is that it's not.

I flagged it as under consideration so our product designer will take a look at it when it's time to release a feature update
