Upload Options Needed For Uploading Textures To Prevent Costly Uploads
complete
Bcreative Wilde
With the introduction of 2K textures, SL should provide two upload options to accommodate users who might forget to downsize their images:
Option 1: For images up to 1024, this option will automatically downsize the images for the user, just the way it used to be.
Option 2: For images with resolutions higher than 1024.
Note: Both options should be available for single and bulk uploads.
These options will help prevent accidental bulk uploads of incorrectly sized images. Sometimes when I bulk upload, I might miss one that I forgot to downsize. No one likes a costly surprise when a mistake happens.

Merged in a post from Jackson Redstar:
Title: Need to have 2048 uploads off by default
Details: Need to 'opt in' to upload 2048 textures at 50L ea. To ensure you really want to upload the 2048 image and pay the 50L fee

I don't think this was fully implemented they way I hoped.. I hoped people would get the option to scale down when uploading as so so many people relied on that to skip part of the work flow or to catch accidental 2K+ textures that you forget to resize.
I recall seeing some of the github ideas on this and one had a tick box that was prompted when a texture was over 2K.. I liked this. As it is now people will just bulk upload 2Ks without thinking... with a tick box option right there popping up that instantly shows them the price difference it would help reduce the wrong uploads.
It looks like the current option just calculates the size and charges you which is great but doesn't help this issue. Personally I try to remember to down size mine to 1K but sometimes one gets away from me so I appreciated when it would downsize for me. If I could auto tick that to not upload higher than 1k that would be a nice option

Kyle Linden Hopefully this gets pushed to "in progress" soon.. To many people still don't realize this change are getting hit with pricey unexpected uploads.

Bcreative Wilde: Heard and will be addressed. Meanwhile we're also working to reduce 2k texture cost for Premium Plus and Lifetime Premium Plus.
