I don't mean "go crazy with the images". As Michael mentions - it costs disk space. A lot more that text-only bug reports. Sometimes a screenshot is needed to explain a problem, but if you can explain it without a screenshot, all the better. Other space saving tips: * Often a full desktop area, or whole window dump is not required. Select only the area of interest for the screenshot. * PNG's are most used, but can be large because they are lossless. Use Indexed PNG's instead. They can have an optimised 256 colour palette. More than good enough for a bug report and normally a fraction of the original size. (The Gimp: "Image -> Mode -> Indexed"). * Don't include videos in Mantis, they are WAY to big. Upload them to a reliable source like YouTube or Vimeo and reference the URL instead.
