Hi,

I might be wrong, but is the hotlinking to Phabricator/Git files
(screenshots in this case) a good thing?

Nobody suggested that, right?

I might misunderstand the whole thing. If it is, just ignore this message.

The typical size of AppData screenshot is ~100 kB. Let's say that there are ~1000 users that use Discover features to explore KDE applications in a release day. They can overview ~10 screenshots in average. This will be 1 GB of traffic + load on Phabricator to resolve commits.kde.org links (if files are stored in git).

Recently, Ben Cooksley removed the page with Calligra Icons from community.kde.org for similar hotlinking:

https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Icons/3.0

That was the source of my concerns.

On the other hand, if screenshots will be stored in different places/hostings (each application stores its screenshot in its own place) it can leverage the load on our infrastructure.

Sorry again, if I misunderstand something.

Best regards,
Yuri
